Chapter 8: Exponent Rules & Exponential Functions
This chapter takes you on a math excursion through all the rules of exponents and provides an introduction into exponential functions. You will begin with the rules for multiplying powers with the same bases and raising a power to a power. From there, you will master how to divide powers with the same bases. Then it is off to zero and negative exponents before rocking multiple practice exercises involving several rules in each problem – awesome practice found there! You will master simplifying operations involving scientific notation. The chapter finishes with a flurry of learning about exponential growth and decay, graphing exponential functions, calculating compound interest, and last, but not least, geometric sequences. Yeah…it is a pretty sweet chapter!!! Now go get math-ing!!!
