Transforming Formulas
Solving for x is a classic algebra scenario. Now, solve for x when the other terms in the equation are variables. Isolate the correct variable and practice writing the equation first before solving.

Identifying Quadratic Functions (Vertex Form)
Pupils calculate the equation of a quadratic in vertex form from a specific graph and determine an equation that would fit the description of a parabola. The final question determines the individuals' understanding of the signs of the...

2003 AP® Calculus AB Free-Response Questions
Take a free look. Released free-response questions from the 2003 AP® Calculus AB exam show how questions cover different topics. Pupils and teachers review the topics of bounded regions, particle movement, rates, relationships between...
Concord Consortium
Writing and Sketching II
Find the function that fits. Scholars first identify the graph of a function that looks the same after a horizontal translation. They must then find the equation of a function whose graph lies only in two adjacent quadrants.
