- By now you should have tried the homework problems on-line:
- Comments?
- Questions from the homework?
- Section 7.2 homework problems will be handed in "the old fashioned way", and I'll randomly choose a couple to grade. Those are due on Friday.

Proof: using the definition of the inverse, and the chain rule.
- Examples:
- #8, p. 356
- #9-16, p. 357
- #20, p. 357
- #22, p. 357
- #31, p. 357
- #33, p. 357
- #42, p. 358
- Your assignment for section 7.3 is to be completed on-line: please do that before next Tuesday. pp. 364-366, #4, 9, 10, 11, 14, 19, 21, 22, 28, 32, 51, 60, 64, 79, 85, 103
I'll be taking your grade from your work on-line, while watching your attempts. Important Note: when you need to use the absolute value function, write abs(x) (rather than |x|. You basically input functions just like you would to your TI calculator. I believe that the software checks your answer by comparing it numerically on a bunch of points on a given domain.
- Let's start by thinking about some real-life problems that would require the use of the inverse of an exponential function.
- From science?
- From business?
- From mathematics?
-
- The laws of logarithms are reflections of the properties of
exponentials:
-
-
(How does symmetry help us to understand the absolute value in this result?)
- Examples:
- 1-3, 5-8, p. 364
- 15-18, 20, p. 364
- 45-50, p. 365, and draw!
- 80, 86, 94, p. 365
- 108, p. 366
- 109, p. 366
