We started out class with the warm-up worksheet on the Lift-Off Function - we explored the properties of exponents leading to lift-off function is gb(x). We also did some graphing for the warm-up. Then, we went over the homework problems, 55 and 59 --- Both these questions were compound interest problems. After going over homework questions, we briefly went over the mystery function...which we found out is actually logarithms, and then we also reviewed the lift-off function which was also the logarithm function. We learned in class, that logarithms will be the inverse to exponential functions! So, when you get a logarithm problem, you don’t even have to deal with it as a logarithm, you can just convert it back to a exponential.

*Note: On your calculator, ln, is how you can solve for natural log.
Remember that, g(x) = log1 x, does not exist!

We ended class early, and were able to start our homework!
HW for next class:
* p. 236/1-29 odd, 33, 39-44 all, 49-69 odd
* Be sure you are ready for the Supercorrection Follow-up Test

Next Scribe: Julia
