Problem 1 - LilliesFirst correct answer - yell it out

•Every sack had seven cats,

Exponential equations

Exponential equations take the form of:

Find what each variable does algebraically and graphically, and make a general statement for each - final product on A3 for display ( ‘a’ will..., ‘b’ controls how... ‘c’ controls...... etc )

And make sure it says what happens if to the graph when…

• a > 0, b > 1 a > 0, 0 < b < 1

• a < 0, b > 1 a < 0, 0 < b < 1

Index laws

Prove ‘em

And the winners are?
