#$   I can use the properties of exponents to multiply, divide, and exponentiate
with logarithms.

how to correctly use the Quotient, Product, Power, Power of a Power,
Power of a Product, and Power of a Quotient properties of exponential and
logarithmic functions.

This plan and all lesson plans implicitly include an understanding that not
all students learn the same way and may require supplemental and/or
additional resources to meet their needs. The classroom teacher is
completely informed as to the IEPs, 504s, and other special
accommodations that must be made for these students. One student in the
class is ESL and requires translated assignments and tests. Two students
have learning disabilities and require extra time to complete tests and
preferential seating during class.

 Lesson 5.7: Properties of The teacher will take
Logarithms: questions as necessary;
The teacher will continue the based on questions, assess
discussion of log functions by how well students are
going over the following grasping the material; if
properties and performing one students are not grasping
related sample problem per the material well, do more
identity (See handwritten notes examples and slow down
for sample problems):
K| Definition of a
Logarithm: If x = a^m,
then the log of x in the
base of a = m
K| Product Property: If
a^m * a^n = a^(m+n),
then the log of mn in
the base of a = the log
of m in the base of a +
the log of n in the base
of a.
K| Quotient Property: If
(a^m)/(a^n) = a^(m-n),
then, in log form, we
can take the log of
(m/n) in the base of a =
the log of m in the base
of a + the log of n in
the base of a.
K| Power Property: (the
 log of m in the base of
a)^n = n(the log of m
in the base of a).
K| Change of Base
Property: log of x in
the base of a = (the log
of x)/(the log of a)
The teacher will then give
students the following
sample problems:
Condense the following
log functions:
K| log of 4 + log of 3
= log of (4*3)
K| log of 6 ± log of 8
= log of (6/8)
K| 4(log of 5) ± log of
6 = log of ((5^4)/6)
K| 2(log of 5 in the
base of 7) + 2(log
of 11 in the base of
7) ± 12(log of 2 in
the base of 7) = log
of
(((11^2)*(5^2))/(2^
12)) in the base of
7.

homework: KUTA Worksheet

The theme of Unit 5 is understanding exponential, logarithmic and inverse
functions. The second quiz will assess the student¶s understanding of
extracting equations using point-ratio form from story problems,
converting and graphing functions and their inverses, and solving basic
logarithmic equations.
