2.9.1 - Test: Exponents and Exponential Functions Unit Test
Why did the number 3 go to school?
Because it wanted to be an ex-potent-ial function!
I apologize, but I don't have access to specific test questions or answers. However, I can provide you with some general information about exponents and exponential functions that may help you prepare for the test. Let's go through some key concepts step by step:
1. Exponents:
- An exponent tells you how many times a base number should be multiplied by itself.
- For example, in the expression 3^4, 3 is the base number, and 4 is the exponent. It means that 3 should be multiplied by itself four times: 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81.
2. Properties of Exponents:
- Product Rule: When multiplying two powers with the same base, you add the exponents. For example, (a^m)(a^n) = a^(m+n).
- Quotient Rule: When dividing two powers with the same base, you subtract the exponents. For example, (a^m)/(a^n) = a^(m-n).
- Power Rule: When raising a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. For example, (a^m)^n = a^(m*n).
3. Exponential Functions:
- An exponential function has the form f(x) = a * b^x, where a is the initial value, b is the base, and x represents the exponent.
- The base (b) can be any positive number greater than zero, excluding 1.
- The graph of exponential functions can either be increasing or decreasing, depending on the value of b.
- Common examples of exponential functions include compound interest, population growth, and radioactive decay.
4. Additional topics:
- Solving exponential equations: You might be asked to find the value of x in an exponential equation, such as a * b^x = c. To solve it, you'll need to use logarithms or apply properties of exponents.
- Growth and decay: Understanding the concepts of growth and decay and how these relate to exponential functions is important.
Make sure to review your class notes, textbook, and any other resources provided by your teacher. Practice working through example problems to reinforce your understanding of the concepts. Good luck on your test!
