TRANSFORMING RELATIONSHIPS

2. ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How can curves be transformed into straight lines?
Objectives:
To use inverse functions to transform data into linear equations.
To use the transformed data to create mathematical models that will make predictions using data.

3. Linear vs. Exponential growth
Linear growth increases by a fixed amount in each equal time period.
Exponential growth increases by a fixed percentage of the previous total.

4. Algebraic Properties of Logarithms
logb x = y if and only by = x
The rules for logarithms are:
log(AB) = log A + log B
log(A/B) = logA – log B
3. logXp = plog X
