We'll begin todays lesson with a review of rational exponents (4.6). Then we'll work on solving equations that have rational exponents. Always keep in mind that whenever you have rational exponents, you also have roots. In 4.7 we’ll solve equations from both points of view. Next, we’ll move to 5.1 and begin working on logarithms and exponentials. A big part of this topic is simply learning how to use your calculator correctly, so I’d recommend always working with the same calculator in chapter 5. Last, in 5.2, we’ll apply the skills you practiced in 5.1 to money as you work with compound interest.
