Alg I: Exponential Relationships
The Algebra I unit on Exponential Relationships delves into the fundamental concepts and applications of exponential functions and their distinct characteristics compared to linear functions. Students explore the base and exponent in exponential expressions, understanding how these components influence the growth or decay of values in real-world contexts such as population growth, radioactive decay, and financial interest calculations. The unit emphasizes the interpretation and construction of exponential functions from data, graphing exponential curves, and solving basic exponential equations. Through engaging lessons and practical examples, students gain insight into the powerful nature of exponential growth and decay, learning to apply these concepts in solving problems that model dynamic changes. This foundational unit equips students with the skills to recognize exponential relationships in various scenarios, setting the stage for deeper exploration of more complex exponential and logarithmic functions in subsequent mathematics courses.
