The tutorial investigates period and frequency by examining the shapes of the sine and cosine functions. The resource consists of definitions, animations, interactive graphs, and examples. Practice problems with solutions are included.

For this task, students investigate and develop an understanding of the formula for the area of a circle. Aligns with G-GMD.A.1.

In this task, students investigate whether exponential functions will always be determined by two points. It complements the task "Do two points always determine a linear function?" Aligns with F-LE.A.2.

For this task, students examine world population data from 1804 to 2012 and investigate whether an exponential function is appropriate for modeling the relationship between the world population and the year. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.c.

For this problem, learners use an exponential equation to investigate the warming up of a cold beverage on a summer day and analyze a graph to estimate temperatures. Aligns with F-LE.B.5 and F-BF.B.

Working with complex numbers allows us to solve equations that cannot be solved with real numbers. Here we will investigate complex numbers which arise as square roots of certain complex numbers. Aligns with N-CN.A.2 and A-REI.A.1.

For this task, students investigate the price of pizza at a new restaurant, how to get the best deal, and what equations represent the functions. Aligns with F-IF.B.

The resource investigates exponential functions and models. Students learn about the concepts through notes and examples. A chapter quiz, review exercises, and chapter summary are included.

Students learn about mean, median, variance, and standard deviation. The tutorial investigates the statistics concepts though class notes and examples. Review exercises are included.

Geometry is the study of how to use math to describe and investigate different points, lines and shapes. The way that a shape is described in geometry is with a formula, which is simply a mathematical way to calculate different...
