standard_description: Understand the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms and use this relationship to solve problems involving logarithms and exponents.
problem_activity: Activity
In this practice activity, students prepare for the associated Algebra 1 lesson by practicing applying some of the properties they will need to use.
Student Facing
Evaluate:
\(\dfrac{3^5}{3^4}\)
\(\dfrac{3^1}{3^0}\)
\(\dfrac{3^{\text-1}}{3^{\text-2}}\)
\(\dfrac{3^{100}}{3^{99}}\)
\(\dfrac{3^{x+1}}{3^x}\)
Solve for
\(m\)
:
\(\dfrac{2^m}{2^7}=2\)
\(\dfrac{2^{100}}{2^m}=2\)
\(\dfrac{2^m}{2^x}=2\)
Write an equivalent expression using as few terms as possible:
\(3(x+1) + 4 - (3x + 4)\)
\(2(x+1) + 5 - (2x + 5)\)
\(2(x+2) + 5 - (2(x+1) + 5)\)
\(\text-5(x+1) + 3 - (\text-5x + 3)\)
\(\dfrac{5^{x+1}}{5^x}\)
\(\dfrac{7^{x+4}}{7^x}\)
