Unit 3 Challenge Problems

1. This document provides challenge problems involving logarithms and exponents without the use of a calculator. There are over 50 multi-part problems involving simplifying, solving, finding domains, and composing logarithmic and exponential functions. 2. The problems cover a wide range of skills including simplifying logarithmic and exponential expressions, solving logarithmic and exponential equations, finding domains of functions, and composing logarithmic and exponential functions. Detailed solutions are provided for each part of each problem. 3. The level of difficulty increases through the problems, starting with basic simplifications and solving single-variable equations, and progressing to more complex multi-variable equations, finding domains of functions, and composing multiple functions.
