By the end of this course, students will:
- demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between exponential expressions and logarithmic expressions,
evaluate logarithms, and apply the laws of logarithms to simplify numeric expressions;
- identify and describe some key features of the graphs of logarithmic functions, make connections among the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of logarithmic functions, and solve related problems graphically;
- solve exponential and simple logarithmic equations in one variable algebraically, including those in problems arising from real-world applications.
