    sakyamath
    This mathematics worksheet covers topics including irrational exponents, exponential functions, and their properties. Students are asked to arrange expressions from least to greatest, plot functions, find intercepts, compute values, sketch graphs, identify exponential functions, construct tables of values, and graph several exponential functions. The document provides guidance on experimenting when problems have no obvious approach and defines irrational exponents through repeated "squeezing" of rational approximations.

    1.1) Arrange the following from least to greatest: pattern that can be observed? 1.2) Suppose a, b are real numbers with . Which is greater,

    . Is there a or ?

    1.3) In the standard Cartesian coordinate plane, plot some values of . Use 1.1) as a guide. Try to estimate the graph to include all real numbers x as the Domain. 1.4) What are the x and y-intercepts of , if any? Is a function? 1.5) Compute the value of up to 4 decimal places. If , where a, b are real numbers with exactly TWO decimal places, find their value. If instead a, b have exactly THREE decimal places, what would be their value? Remember: If there is no obvious way to approach a problem, experiment. Many great discoveries come from experimentation. Important: Let . Informally, if r is any irrational number, is defined as the real number that is obtained by squeezing repeatedly without end the number and , where a, b are rational approximations of r. . We want to define the real numbers and . Firstly Example: to lie between

    . Perform three squeezes: i.) , ii.) , iii.) , and so on. More squeezes will yield better approximations to its TRUE value. On the other hand, since 2) Find the value of for i.) , ii.) 3.1) Sketch the graph of If , where function is increasing if function of the form , , by inverting the inequality in iii.)

    up to ten decimal places. Then, perform five squeezes to find bounds , iii.) (Use the fact that ). is a one-to-one function. . If x gets larger and larger, what happens to y? , then this function describes an exponential function. This , and decreasing if . This function is one-to-one. A represents a more general exponential function. ? For each exponential function,

    3.2) Use the Horizontal Line Test to verify that

    4.1) Which of the following are exponential functions write them in the form .

    a.) , b.) , c.) , d.) , e.) 4.2) (BOOK EXERCISE) On pages 331 to 332, answer Mental Math numbers 1 10. 5.1) Construct a table of ordered pairs for each exponential function . Additionally, write each exponential function in the form a.) , b.) , c.) , d.) . , e.) , f.) , g.)

    5.2) Graph each exponential function in 5.1) by using the table of ordered pairs as a guide.
