Achievement objective M7-6
In a range of meaningful contexts, students will be engaged in thinking mathematically and statistically. They will solve problems and model situations that require them to:
- manipulate rational, exponential, and logarithmic algebraic expressions.
Indicators
- Makes links between the concepts, properties, and manipulation of exponents and logarithms, and the inverse relationship between them.
- Solves problems that involve manipulating rational, exponential, and logarithmic algebraic expressions. Methods that could be used in solving problems include:
- simplifying algebraic expressions including rational expressions
- expanding and factorising
- manipulating expressions with exponents including fractional and negative exponents
- manipulating logarithms in order to solve exponential equations
- simplifying expressions including logarithms involving the power rule and also products and quotients.
- Makes links with solving equations
M7-7 and graphing functions
M7-2.
