Please help with these exams. You did the old ones very well, some of the ways you found the solutions were suspicious since it wasn’t covered in the test that way in class. Try your best to answer them by using highschool math as much as you can.
Algebra 2
Unit 6 Exponential & Logarithmic Functions
Directions: Complete the following problems to the best of your ability. Make sure you
show your work. Problems with little to no work shown will result in little to no credit
earned.
1. What is the value of log62? (Yes, you can use a calculator. Round your answer to the
nearest hundredths place)
2. Kyle starts a fundraiser with 43 pennies. He recruits all the players on his
baseball team to participate. His goal is to triple the number of pennies
each day. Assume Kyle meets his daily goal. Use x to represent the number
of days and y to represent the total number of pennies. Write an equation
that represents this scenario.
3. What is the exact value of x in the equation shown below.
๐ โ ๐๐๐๐ = ๐๐
4. Solve for x in the exponential equation shown below.
๐๐๐๐ = ๐๐(๐+๐)
5. Looking at each equation listed below, state whether each equation
represents exponential growth or decay. Use a G for growth and a D
for decay in the blank space given to you after each equation listed.
a. ๐(๐) =
๐ ๐ ๐

6. Write the following logarithm in exponential form, as well as the
exponential expression in logarithm form.
a. ๐ = ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
b. ๐๐ = ๐๐๐

2. Divide using polynomial synthetic division.
3๐ฅ 3 + 5๐ฅ 2 โ 11๐ฅ + 3 รท ๐ฅ + 2
3. How many complex roots (zeros) does ๐(๐ฅ) have shown below?
๐(๐ฅ ) = โ3๐ฅ 3 + 5๐ฅ โ 2
4. Using the polynomial listed below find the value that is ๐(โ2).
๐ (๐ฅ ) = 2๐ฅ 3 + 5๐ฅ 2 + 3๐ฅ โ 7
5. Factor completely over the complex numbers for the polynomial listed
below. (Remember Iโm not saying you need this much room, but Iโm giving you this much
room just in case โ I want you to show your work)
๐(๐ฅ ) = ๐ฅ 3 + ๐ฅ 2 โ 22๐ฅ โ 40
6. Factor the polynomial function listed below over the complex numbers.
๐(๐ฅ ) = ๐ฅ 3 + 6๐ฅ 2 + 11๐ฅ + 6
7. Graph the polynomial function below. Make sure you identify your xintercepts, y-intercept, and 2 additional points as well as graph it.
๐(๐ฅ ) = (๐ฅ + 2)(๐ฅ โ 1)(๐ฅ โ 3)
Directions: Please complete the following problems to the best of your ability. Make
sure to show as much work possible to support your answers. Problems with little to no
work shown will result in minimum credit earned.
