Examples
The graph of the function can be transformed into the straight line y=5t+2 by taking the natural logarithm of the function’s outputs.
Clarifications
Clarification 1: Key features are limited to domain; range; intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive or negative; constant percent rate of change; end behavior and asymptotes.Clarification 2: Instruction includes representing the domain, range and constraints with inequality notation, interval notation or set-builder notation.
Clarification 3: Instruction includes understanding that when the logarithm of the dependent variable is taken and graphed, the exponential function will be transformed into a linear function.
Clarification 4: Within the Mathematics for Data and Financial Literacy course, problem types focus on money and business.
