Exponential & Logarthmic Functions in AS-Level Maths (from Sep 2017):
During the year that students study for an AS-Level in Maths, they will be required to cover the following topic areas in EXPONENTIAL & LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS:
- functions of the form a to the x, including e
- the gradient of e to the kx
- the logarithm functions with different bases
- the logarithm rules
- solving exponential equations
- logarithmic graphs
- exponential growth and decay
These topic areas will be tested in the Pure Mathematics paper – Paper 1.
Exponential & Logarithmic Functions in A-Level Maths (from Sep 2017):
In addition to the above, students studying for an A-Level in Maths will also be required to study the following areas in EXPONENTIAL & LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS:
- Students may be required to sketch graphs of the form
This is done over 2 years and these additional topic areas will be tested in Pure Mathematics Paper 2.
