Exponential Functions

Grow an equation for the exponential graph. Given a graph of an exponential function, class members write the equation of the function provided. The graph labels two points on the graph: the y-intercept and the point where x is one.

Keep your mathematicians engaged using this group linear functions activity. Each of ten groups receives two graphs with both an image and equation, as well as a "who has" phrase to call out the next graph. Scholars stay on their toes as...

What are some basic features of functions? By looking at functions in graphs, tables, and equations, pupils compare them and find similarities and differences in general features. They use attributes such as intervals of...

Class members have the opportunity to quickly change the variables of an exponential graphs through the use of sliders on Desmos. Four graphs are given and young mathematicians, through the use of the graphing app, can discover which...

Use context to explain the importance of the key features of a graph. When context is introduced, the domain and range have meaning, which enhances understanding. Pupils use application questions to explore the key features of the graph...

Seeing functions in nature is a beautiful part of mathematics by analyzing the motion of a dolphin over time. Then take a look at the value of a stock and maximize the profit of a new toy. Explore the application of quadratics by...

Sal solves several problems involving exponential growth functions for two reasons. First, he aims to familiarize viewers with the process, particularly for those who find exponents challenging or daunting. Second, Sal wants to show how...

With his trusty graphing calculator, Sal begins his lecture on solving quadratic functions by graphing. The video is a good way to show young mathematicians not only how to use the graphing calculator (which Sal describes as "archaic"...

Now you have the power to learn about exponential graphs. By watching a video, young mathematicians learn how to graph exponential functions. The method shown here is to create tables of values to graph equations of the form y = k^x.

Section 9 of the 12 linked Saxon Math sections introduces the young algebrist to graphing periodic functions, creating graphs from quadratic roots, working with inequalities, and rational equations. Common among all the lessons is the...
