Lesson 6: Inverse Func on
Period Covered: Week 3, (October 19 – 23, 2020), Day 2 & 3
Learning Competency: Solves exponen al equa ons.
Learning Target: Define exponen al func on and solve for exponen al equa ons.

Learning Content:

Examples: Which of the following describe and exponen al func on?

𝑥 1 5𝑥
𝑎. 𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) = 3 𝑏. 𝑓(𝑥) = ( ) 2
𝑐. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥

𝑑. 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 2
Solu on: The func ons defined in (𝑎) and (𝑏) are exponen al func ons. However, (𝑐) and (𝑑) are not exponen al
func ons.

Solving Exponen al Equa ons and Inequali es

Your knowledge on the different laws of exponents is very useful in solving exponen al equa ons.
Recall that for any posi ve numbers, 𝑎 and 𝑏, the following rules hold for all real numbers 𝑥 and 𝑦.
𝑥 𝑦 𝑥+𝑦
