Exponentials and Logarithms II
A simple question sometimes is the best for discussion. High schoolers compare a logarithmic and exponential function and composite them into one another. They graph and compare the difference between the domains. The solution contains...

Maintain Your Composition
Compose yourself! Learners first use given graphs of functions f and g to graph the composition function f(g(x)) and identify its value for a specific input. They then consider functions for which f(g(x)) = g(f(x)).

As the Wheel Turns
Determine the location of a point on a moving wheel. The task challenges groups to determine the horizontal and vertical locations of a point on the edge of wheel that is moving. Teams first determine a function that will model the...

Temperature Conversions
Your young weather buffs use compositions and inverses of functions to convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin degrees. Then they analyze possible compositions and whether they exist in the real-life context.

Graphs of Compositions
It might help when working with this resource to give an example of a composition function. For example, the amount of time it takes to get to work depends on the amount of traffic; the amount traffic depends on the time of day....

Temperature Conversions
Complete two conversions at once using compositions. Pupils use the conversion formulas for temperatures to calculate a formula to convert directly between Kelvin and Fahrenheit. Classmates determine the meanings of composition...

Flu on Campus
An outbreak of the swine flu on a school campus has caused an increase in the number of boxes of tissues sold by the school store. In a real-world-modeling activity, pupils use composition of functions to determine how the number of...
