In Exponential Growth and Decay, what does initial value and base mean?Exponential Growth and Decay
The starting quantity and repeated growth factor.
What is y at t=0?Exponential Growth and Decay
A because b⁰=1.
In Exponential Growth and Decay, what does decay factor mean?Exponential Growth and Decay
A multiplier below one describing exponential decay.
Does a 20% loss subtract the same amount each period?Exponential Growth and Decay
No, it subtracts a share of the changing amount.
In Exponential Growth and Decay, what does percent change and context mean?Exponential Growth and Decay
A percent change converted to a multiplicative factor.
Why identify the period length?Exponential Growth and Decay
Monthly and yearly rates are not interchangeable without conversion.
In Inverse Functions, what does one-to-one requirement mean?Inverse Functions
A rule with no repeated outputs on its stated domain.
What graphical test checks this?Inverse Functions
Every horizontal line meets the graph at most once.
In Inverse Functions, what does swapping inputs and outputs mean?Inverse Functions
An algebraic procedure for an inverse function.
Why exchange domain and range?Inverse Functions
Original outputs become inverse inputs.
In Inverse Functions, what does inverse graphs mean?Inverse Functions
A mirror relationship between a function and its inverse.
Must the full quadratic have an inverse function over all reals?Inverse Functions
No, it repeats outputs unless its domain is restricted.
In Logarithms as Inverses, what does logarithm definition mean?Logarithms as Inverses
The inverse operation of exponentiation.
Can log_b(0) be real?Logarithms as Inverses
No, real logarithm arguments must be positive.

Two notations for one base-power relationship.
What base values are allowed?Logarithms as Inverses
Positive bases other than one.
In Logarithms as Inverses, what does logarithm graph mean?Logarithms as Inverses
A graph obtained by reflecting an exponential across y=x.
Why is x=0 excluded?Logarithms as Inverses
The logarithm input must be positive.
In Logarithm Properties and Equations, what does product rule mean?Logarithm Properties and Equations
The logarithm identity for positive factors.
Can log_b(M+N) split the same way?Logarithm Properties and Equations
