Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each


SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you
need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of
the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check
your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you
will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can
best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And
read the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.

Module 17
Lesson
Exponential Functions,
1 Equations and Inequalities
What is the pride of your city or province? Are you aware of the natural sources of
income your city or province have? Have you ever thought of the pattern in the
production of some natural sources of income in your hometown? Are they increasing
or declining quickly? As a Senior High School learner and a concerned citizen, that
is one good thing you need to be aware of.

What’s In

Anything that increases or decreases rapidly is said to be exponential. You have


learned in the previous module that there are a lot of real-life situations involving
such conditions. For instance, population growth, exponential decay, and compound
interest are some of the situations that depict the so-called exponential functions.
Recall that an exponential function with base b is of the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑏 𝑥 or 𝑦 = 𝑏 𝑥 ,
where 𝑏 > 0, but 𝑏 ≠ 1. Have you noticed anything with the exponent? How does it
differ from the exponents of some other functions? Good! The exponential function
has exponents that are variables. In the past lesson, you have learned that this
exponent determines how fast a function increases or decreases.

Notes to the Teacher


Lead learners to the concept that f(x) and y are the same in dealing
with functions, as they both refer to dependent variable. Guide
learners as well in understanding that the symbols "𝑏 > 0, 𝑏 ≠ 1"
mean all positive numbers, but one.

What’s New

Spot the Similarity and Difference!


Below are statements with exponential expressions. Observe them and spot their
similarities and differences.
(a) 3𝑥−2 = 81 (b) 𝑦 = 4𝑥 (c) 2𝑥 ≥ 32

Questions:
1. What is the similarity of (a), (b), and (c)?
2. What is the similarity of (a) and (c)?
3. How do (a) and (c) differ from (b)?
4. How are (a) and (b) similar to each other?
5. How do (a) and (b) differ from (c)?
6. Can you recall which among them is an exponential function?
7. Which among the three involve/s exponential expression/s?

As you have noticed, all the three givens involve variable as the exponent. The
statements in (a) and (c) have only one variable, while (b) has the relationship
between two variables. It is also shown that (a) and (b) both use an equal sign,
whereas (c) contains an inequality symbol.
Recall that (b) is an exponential function since it shows the relation between
dependent variable y and independent variable x. Nevertheless, all three involve
exponential expressions. It is so since all include expressions with a variable used
as an exponent.

What is It

From the previous activity, you have learned that there are other statements with
exponential expressions aside from exponential function. Based on what you have
observed, they do not involve a dependent variable y or f(x). But taking a deeper look,
you will then notice that these expressions can be further classified into two –
exponential equation and inequality. Let us now differentiate the three.
An exponential function is a function involving exponential expression showing a
relationship between the independent variable x and dependent variable y or f(x).
Examples of which are 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥+3 and 𝑦 = 102𝑥 .

5 CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS


Module 17
On the other hand, an exponential equation is an equation involving exponential
expression that can be solved for all x values satisfying the equation. For instance,
121 = 11𝑥 and 3𝑥 = 9𝑥−2 .
Lastly, an exponential inequality is an inequality involving exponential expression
that can be solved for all x values satisfying the inequality. For example, 641/3 > 2𝑥
and (0.9)𝑥 ≤ 0.81.
After learning the differences among the three exponential expressions, can you give
your own examples for each? What are they?
