In this lesson, students will be re-introduced to the Four Step Problem - Solving Plan. The plan will be used as a 'checks and balance' tool for discovering the roots (solutions) of polynomial functions. Students will: *Explore the...

In this lesson students explore the concept of linear programming. The students model a real life situation with a system of inequalities and then use their graphing calculators to search for a maximum value for an objective function....

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson gives students some insight into the connection between graph theory and triangular numbers, using telephone networks. Similar to the famous Handshake Problem, students will find...

The tutorial examines L?hopital?s rule which allows students to replace a limit problem with another that may be simpler to solve. L?hopital?s theorem, examples, and practice problems are included.

The zero product property allows you to solve a quadratic equation by converting it into two linear equations. This is a common strategy of algebra--to break down a problem into simpler parts, each solved by previously learned methods.
