As discussed in graphs of exponential functions the most informative approach is to view the general form
as a set of transformations.
These transformations are summarised here in tabular form. Read the rest of this entry »

By comparing exponential and logarithmic functions with their simplest forms it is easy to sketch their graphs using a transformational approach.
All graphs in this article were created with OpenPlaG.
Memorise these indices and logarithms laws. Indices and logarithms are two different ways of saying the same thing. For example:
is read as “
raised to the power of 
equals 
“.
that is:
.
When factorising quadratics (or any trinomial) first identify the form of the expression and then apply the most direct method. If the expression is not in a recognisable form then manipulate it so that it is.
