necessary procedures must be followed and if needed, additional lessons, exercises and remedial activities may be
I. OBJECTIVES done for developing content knowledge and competencies. These are assessed using Formative Assessment
Strategies. Valuing objectives support the learning of content and competencies and enable children to find
significance and joy in learning the lessons. Weekly objectives shall be derived from the curriculum guides.
A.Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of inverse functions, exponential
functions, and logarithmic functions
B.Performance Standards The learner is able to apply concepts of inverse functions, exponential functions, and
logarithmic functions to formulate and solve real-life problems with precision and
accuracy.

These steps should be done across the week. Spread out the activities appropriately so that pupils/students will
learn well. Always be guided by demonstration of learning by the pupils/ students which you can infer from
IV.PROCEDURES formative assessment activities. Sustain learning systematically by providing pupils/students with multiple ways to
learn new things, practice the learning, question their learning processes, and draw conclusions about what they
learned in relation to their life experiences and previous knowledge. Indicate the time allotment for each step.
A.Review previous lesson or Exponential functions occur in various real world situations. Exponential functions are used
to model real-life situations such as population growth, radioactive decay, carbon dating,
growth of an epidemic, loan interest rates, and investments.

strings of equal length do you have? Enter your answer in the table below.

It can be observed that as the step number increases by one, the number of strings
doubles. If n is the number of strings and s is the step number, then n=2s .

Example.
Let t = time in days. At t = 0, there were initially 20 bacteria. Suppose that the bacteria
doubles every 100 hours. Give an exponential model for the bacteria as a function of t.
Initially,
at t = 0 Number of bacteria = 20
Solution.
Suppose a quantity y doubles every T units of time. If y0 is the initial amount, then the
t/T
quantity y after t units of time is given by y= y 0 (2)
Definition.
The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for half of the substance to
decay.
Example.
Suppose that the half-life of a certain radioactive substance is 10 days and there are 10g
initially, determine the amount of substance remaining after 30 days.
Solution.
Let t = time in days. We use the fact that the mass is halved every 10 days (from definition
of half-life). Thus, we have:
t /10

An exponential model for this situation is y=10 ( ) .

(c) Compound Interest
A starting amount of money (called the principal) can be invested at a certain interest rate
that is earned at the end of a given period of time (such as one year). If the interest rate is
compounded, the interest earned at the end of the period is added to the principal, and
this new amount will earn interest in the next period. The same process is repeated for
each succeeding period: interest previously earned will also earn interest in the next
period.
Example.
Initially,
at t = 0 Investment = P100,000
at t = 1 Investment = P100,000(1.06) = P106,000
Compound Interest
Referring to the problem above, is it possible for Mrs. De la Cruz to double her money in 8
years? in 10 years?
Solution.
Since her money still has not reached P200,000 after 10 years, then she has not doubled
her money during this time.
While an exponential function may have various bases, a frequently used based is the
irrational number e ≈ 2.71828. Because e is a commonly used based, the natural
exponential function is defined having e as the base.
Definition.
Example.
A large slab of meat is taken from the refrigerator and placed in a pre-heated oven. The
temperature T of the slab t minutes after being placed in the oven is given by
0.006 t

t: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and interpret your results. Round of values to the nearest
integer.

The teacher asks students to share their ideas about how A, B, and C are similar, and how
they are different.
Possible responses. Items (a), (b), and (c) all involve expressions with a variable in the
exponent. Items (a) and (c) involve only one variable, but (b) expresses a relationship
between two variables. Items (a) and (b) involve an equality, but (c) involves an inequality.
The definitions of exponential equations, inequalities, and functions are shown below.

An exponential equation or inequality can be solved for all x values that satisfy the
equation or inequality. An exponential function is not `solved'. Rather, it expresses a
relationship between two variables (such as x and y), and can be represented by a table of
values or a graph.
The teachers asks the students to give their own examples of exponential function,
exponential equation and exponential inequality.

Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your students’
progress. What works? What else needs to be done to help the pupils/students learn?
VI.REFLECTION
Identify what help your instructional supervisors can provide for you so when you meet
them, you can ask them relevant questions.
E.Which of my teaching
strategies worked well? Why did
these work?
