16. Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions
for exponential functions and classify them as representing exponential growth
or decay.
17. For exponential models, express as a logarithm the
solution to abct = d where a, c, and d are
numbers.
18. Graph
exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior.

25. Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample
surveys, experiments, and observational studies.
26. Use data from a sample survey to estimate a population
mean.

characteristics such as unions, intersections, or complements.
