• Transform graphs of exponential functions 14.1
• Use details of coordinates and the generic form of the function to find missing constants
• Sketch the exponential function
• Transform graphs of the exponential function
• Use details of coordinates and the generic form of the function to find missing constants 14.2
• Differentiate functions containing ex
• Find equations of tangents and normal to the curve
• Use exponential models to answer real-life questions
• Interpret mathematical constants in the context of the question 14.3
• Interpret the validity of the model
• Re-write an exponential statement as a log statement, and vice versa 14.4
• Use the laws of logs to simplify expressions 14.5
• Solve equations involving exponentials, by using logs
14.6
• Solve equations involving logs, by using exponentials
• Sketch the natural logarithm function
• Transform graphs of the natural logarithm function
14.7
• Solve equations involving ln, by using the exponential function
• Solve equations involving the exponential function, by using ln
• Use the fact that if y=axn then the graph of log y against log x will be a straight line with
gradient n and vertical intercept log a
14.8
• Use the fact that if y=abx then the graph of log y against x will be a straight line with
gradient log b and vertical intercept log a

Generic skills which need to be improved upon for future tasks:

• Hand in your work on time
• Ensure your work is completed to the best of your ability
• Ensure your final answer is in the requested specified format
• Read the questions carefully to ensure you used the correct method, if specified
• Show detailed, logical, step-by-step working
• Ensure your handwriting is neat and legible
• Use pencil for graphical work
• Annotate your work so it is clear which part of the diagram/coordinate/graph/equation/etc. you are referring to
