Timing: Approximately 5 weeks
You will explore exponent rules as an extension of geometric sequences and the properties of multiplication and division for real numbers. You will make sense of exponent rules and not simply memorise them without understanding how they arise. The series culminates in you investigating how exponential functions can model physical phenomena that exhibit a constant multiplicative growth. Exponential functions are framed as multiplicative analogues of linear functions. Thus, a tight connection will be drawn between these two classes of functions and their shared properties.
ENDURING UNDERSTANDIGNS
You will understand that ...
- Properties of exponents are derived from the properties of multiplication and division.
- An exponential function has constant multiplicative growth or decay.
- Exponential functions can be used to model contextual scenarios that involve constant multiplicative growth or decay.
- Graphs and tables can be used to estimate the solution to an equation that involves exponential expressions.
KEY CONCEPTS
- 1: Exponent rules and properties
- 2: Roots of real numbers
- 3: Sequences with multiplicative patterns
- 4: Exponential growth and decay
