Curated OER
Limits and Functions
In this function activity, students compute the limits of given functions, they use differentials to estimate quantities, they compute the change in functional value and determine an equation for a line tangent to a graph. This...
Curated OER
Functions/Domain
Students differentiate their problems to find functions and non-functions. In this calculus lesson, students relate functions and relation through similarities and differences. They rewrite equations that are functions using f(x).
