Trousdale County Schools Focused Lesson Plan 2015-16

Teacher: Canaan Bowman Unit Name: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Unit #: 6 Unit Length: 3 weeks

Week: 3/14 – 3/18 Week 1 of 3

Subject: Pre-Calculus

Tennessee State Standard(s) to be taught: (Write the entire standard)

 N-NE.1 – Use the laws of exponents and logarithms to expand or collect terms in expressions; simplify expressions or
modify them in order to analyze them or compare them.
 N-NE.2 – Understand the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms and use this relationship to solve
problems involving logarithms and exponents.
 N-NE.3 – Classify real numbers and order real numbers that include transcendental expression, including roots and
fractions of pi and e.
 F-BF.5 – Find inverse functions (including exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric).
a. Calculate the inverse of a function, 𝑓(𝑥), with respect to each of the functional operations; in other words, the additive
1
inverse, −𝑓(𝑥), the multiplicative inverse, , and the inverse with respect to composition, 𝑓 −1 (𝑥).
𝑓(𝑥)
b. Verify by composition that one function is the inverse of another.
c. Read values of an inverse function from a graph or table, given that the function has an inverse.
d. Recognize a function is invertible if and only if it is one-to-one. Produce an invertible function from a non-invertible
function by restricting its domain.
 F-BF.6 – Explain why the graph of a function and its inverse are reflections of one another over the line y=x.
 F-IF.2 – Analyze qualities of exponential, polynomial, logarithmic, trigonometric, and rational functions and solve real world
problems that can be modeled with these functions (by hand and with appropriate technology).
 F-IF.3 – Identify or analyze the distinguishing properties of exponential polynomial, logarithmic, trigonometric, and rational
functions from tables, graphs, and equations.
 F-IF.4 – Identify the real zeros of a function and explain the relationship between to real zeros and to x-intercepts of the
graph of a function (exponential, polynomial, logarithmic, trigonometric, and rational).

I Can Statements :
 I can find the inverse function of a function.
 I can verify inverse function algebraically and graphically.
 I can determine whether a function is one-to-one.
 I can evaluate exponential functions.
 I can graph exponential functions and identify transformations to the parent function.
 I can solve compound interest problems.

Accommodations for students, both regular and special populations :

 Extra practice time may be given using InteractMath technology online.
 One-on-one and/or peer tutoring.
 Re-take quizzes on which students perform poorly.
