Functional Relationships
Virginia SOL MA.FR.2
Analyze the characteristics of exponential and logarithmic functions and sketch their graphs.
What students need to be able to do
- Generalize characteristics of exponential and logarithmic functions from an equation or a graph.
- Define e and estimate its value.
- Convert between equations written in logarithmic and exponential form.
- Use laws of exponents and properties of logarithms to solve equations and simplify expressions.
- Represent contextual problems using exponential and logarithmic functions, including common and natural logarithms.
- Sketch the graph of exponential and logarithmic functions and identify asymptotes, end behavior, intercepts, domain, and range.
