...Teaching Strategy Unit Exponential and Logarithmic equations In this unit I am going to be teaching both Exponential and Logarithmic equations. The different strategies that I have chosen to use will help the students be able to define both kinds of equations, describe their similarities, and describe the relationship between one another. The strategies that I plan on using in this unit are Semantic Question Map, Venn diagram, Semantic Map, Circle graph, and Bio Pyramid. Each strategy has been changed in order to fit with the topic. In this unit Exponential equations will be taught before Logarithmic equations, and connections will need to be made between the two. Semantic Question Map: To open the unit up with exponential equations I plan on using the semantic question map in order to give students and idea of what questions they need to be thinking about as we begin the unit. The questions for example will ask students “what should you do to the exponents if their bases are being multiplied and they are the same?” Students will be required to answer these questions each day at the end of the lesson as we answer each one. This strategy will also be used when we begin to study Logarithmic equations. Circle Graph: This strategy is going to be used at the end of the section on Exponential equations and end of Logarithmic equations. The Circle graph is simply a small circle within a larger circle. The smaller circle will either contain exponential equations, or logarithmic...

Mathematical Set Theory just puts a structure around this concept so that sets can be used or manipulated in a logical way. The type of notation used is a reasonable and simple one. For example, suppose a company manufactured 5 different products a, b, c, d, and e. Mathematically, we might identify the whole set of products as P, say, and write: P = (a,b,c,d,e) which is translated as 'the set of company products, P, consists of the members (or elements) a, b, c, d and e. The elements of a set are usually put within braces (curly brackets) and the elements separated by commas, as shown for set P above. A mathematical set is a collection of distinct objects, normally referred to as elements or members. Sets are usually denoted by a capital letter and the elements by small letters. Example 1 (Illustrations of sets) This...

...History of Logarithms Logarithms were invented independently by John Napier, a Scotsman, and by Joost Burgi, a Swiss. Napier's logarithms were published in 1614; Burgi's logarithms were published in 1620. The objective of both men was to simplify mathematical calculations. This approach originally arose out of a desire to simplify multiplication and division to the level of addition and subtraction. Of course, in this era of the cheap hand calculator, this is not necessary anymore but it still serves as a useful way to introduce logarithms. Napier's approach was algebraic and Burgi's approach was geometric. The invention of the common system of logarithms is due to the combined effort of Napier and Henry Biggs in 1624. Natural logarithms first arose as more or less accidental variations of Napier's original logarithms. Their real significance was not recognized until later. The earliest natural logarithms occur in 1618. It can’t be said too often: a logarithm is nothing more than an exponent. The basic concept of logarithms can be expressed as a shortcut…….. Multiplication is a shortcut for Addition: 3 x 5 means 5 + 5 + 5 Exponents are a shortcut for Multiplication: 4^3 means 4 x 4 x 4 Logarithms are a shortcut for Exponents: 10^2 = 100. The present definition of the logarithm is the exponent or power to which a stated number, called the base, is raised to yield a specific number. The logarithm of 100 to the base 10 is 2. This is written: log10 (100) = 2. Before pocket calculators...

Functions can be combined whereby fg(x) = f(g(x)) = g(x) followed by f(x). 2. The set of values for which a function is defined is the domain (i.e. x values), and the set of values that the function can return is the range (i.e. y values). 3. Many-to-one functions have more than one value in the domain giving one value in the range. It is impossible to have many-to-one functions. 4. The inverse of a function is denoted by f –1(x), and is only a function if f(x) is one-to-one. 5. The graphs of a function and its inverse function have reflection symmetry in the line y = x. 6. Parameters are values in a function that can vary, but for any given function mapping x onto y they will act as constants (e.g. a, b, and c in y = ax2 + bx + c). -p 7. The image of y = f(x) under a translation of is y = f ( x + p ) + q . q 8. The image of y = f(x) after reflection in the y-axis is y = f(–x). 9. The image of y = f(x) after reflection in the x-axis is y = –f(x). 10. If f(–x) = f(x) then f is an even function (i.e. is symmetric about the y-axis). 11. If f(–x) = –f(x) then f is an odd function (i.e. has rotational symmetry about the origin). Circular Functions 1.

...LSP 121 Homework 5: Logs and Richter Scale, Decibels Open the file logs.xls (found on the QRC website under Excel Files). You will use this file for both parts below. Click on the worksheet tabs at the bottom to access the other file. 1. Richter scale The Richter scale is used to measure the intensity of earthquakes. It is a logarithmic relationship with the following formula: R = log(I) I is the intensity of the earthquake and R is the number on the Richter scale. (Remember that if there is no base written with the log it is base 10). Don’t be scared off by logs. Think of them as a short-cut way of writing large numbers. For example, let’s say the intensity of an earthquake is 100,000,000. Can you imagine if the papers published that big number? What would people think? Most people cannot handle well numbers with large amounts of zeros (unless those people work for the government ;-). Instead of writing 100,000,000, let’s just write how many zeros there are. In this case, there are 8 zeros. That’s exactly what log10 is asking. 10 to what power equals 100,000,000? 10 to the 8th power. So the log(100,000,000) equals 8. Thus, the Richter value for an earthquake with intensity 100,000,000 is 8. Let’s say it another way. Let’s remove the log. Converting the above formula from log form to exponent form would give us: 10R = I (Note: 10 was raised to the R power, which cancels the log function.) Which version you use depends on which variable you...

Your Answer: cannot be determined Correct Answer: cannot be determined Comment: If q and f are inverse functions and q(a) = b, then f (b) = a. However, since 9 is not the given domain value for q, the answer cannot be determined. Question 2 Question Grade: 1.0 Weighted Grade: (1/1.0) Choose any false statements regarding the graph. Select all that apply. Choice Selected Points The graph is a function. Yes +1 The graph is a function that has an inverse function. Yes +1 The graph is a one-to-one function. Yes +1 The inverse of the graph is not a function. No The graph passes the horizontal line test. Yes +1 The graph passes the vertical line test. Yes +1 Number of available correct choices: 5 Comment: A vertical line can be drawn through the graph intersecting the graph in more than one place, so the graph fails the vertical line test. Therefore, the graph does not represent a function. A horizontal line can be drawn through the graph intersecting the graph in more than one place. So, the graph fails the horizontal line test.

...1. What is the primary place to store log files on a local Linux system and what are recommended procedures for that location? Almost all logfiles are located under /var/log directory It is very important that the information that comes from syslog not be compromised. Making the files in /var/log readable and writable by only a limited number of users is a good start. 2. Why remote logging to a central server is considered a best practice? To identify a baseline system state with the use of the logs & to keep the information from prying eyes. 3. What is the syntax and file you would edit with the necessary entries to send syslogs from your Linux system to a logging server at 172.130.1.254? su –c ’ vi/etc/rsyslog.conf ‘, then remove the # from in front of $ModLoadimudp and $UDPServerRun514 if it hasn’t already been done.
