UP:MA19.MM.16

Vocabulary

  • Non-linear
  • Linearization

Knowledge

Students know:
  • the properties of logarithms and can use them to rewrite problems in different forms.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • use the power property of logarithms.
  • Recognize the difference between a linear and a nonlinear function.

Understanding

Students understand:
  • It is often easier to solve linear functions rather than non-linear functions.
  • The use of logarithmic properties allows you to rewrite exponential functions as linear functions.
