Topics Covered- The exam will cover material from sections:

Topic 6-Exponents and Exponential Functions
Students should be able to:
-les.6.1-Rational exponents and properties of exponents (page 217)-use
properties of exponents to solve equations with rational exponents
-les.6.2-Exponential functions (page 224)-describe and graph exponential
functions
-les.6.3-Exponential growth-decay (page 231)-use exponential functions to model
situations and make predictions
-les.6.4-Geometric Sequences (page 239)-identify and describe geometric
sequences

In all sections, the suggested homework give a good indication of the scope of
the material covered in each section and types of questions, which might
appear on the exam.
Exam Format-In general for the exam, it is expected that students show work
for every problem. Clearly indicate your final answer for each problem. Points
