6-2 Exponential Functions – We learned that an exponential function models the relationship between two quantities that differ by a constant ratio. Exponential functions are modeled using f(x) = abx where a - is the initial amount and b is the constant ratio. We became familiar with the terms asymptote, constant ratio, and exponential function.

6-1 Rational Exponents and Properties of Exponents – We learned that radicals can be rewritten using rational exponents. Then we discovered that the properties of exponents can be used to solve equations with rational exponents. We learned to extend the properties of integer exponents to rational exponents to rewrite radical expressions using rational exponents.
