Creating and Solving Exponential Equations

Student Statement

• I am able to express written language algebraically as an exponential equation (in the form y=a*b^x).

• I am able to accurately describe the properties of an exponential situation given its equation.

Common Core Standards

• SSE.A.1: Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.

• CED.A.1: Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems.

• CED.A.2: Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

• LE.A.1: Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.

• LE.A.2: Construct exponential functions given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).

• LE.B.5: Interpret the parameters in an exponential function in terms of a context.
