Logs and Inverses

Over the last couple of days, we have done a quick blitz through inverses and logarithms, two huge topics that normally take about a month to cover!

  1. Recap 4 major concepts that you have understood about either/both of these two topics.
    • Everyone should have learned something, so, as long as you are HONEST and write in your own words, you will receive full credit. My goal is for you to learn, not to get perfect answers!
    • I will be looking for new things as I read through everyone's posts. Read through what other people are writing about in order to make sure I'm not reading about the same things over and over again. (Hint: you might want to post early if you have a limited amount of things to say.)
  2. Write about what you did NOT understand completely.
    • Perhaps when you were writing what you DID understand, you started to realize what you did NOT understand. This is what I want you to write about here.
  3. Answer 3 other people's questions.
    • As you read though other people's explanations and questions, you should be learning new things as well as helping others to learn as well. Find 3 people you can answer their question to. Someone else could have made the effort, but if you have more to add or clarifications to make, this is more than welcomed as one of your comments.
**Again, inverses and logarithms are two HUGE topics and there is a LOT to say about them. You can make explanations, make connections, give examples, review classwork, etc. Dig deep. There's much gold to find!

** Some vocabulary words that might be useful:
  • exponential/ exponent
  • symmetrical
  • parent graph
  • function form
  • input/output
  • switch
  • base
  • domain/ range
  • x-y intercepts
  • graphically
  • algebraically
  • table of values
  • one-to-one
