Exponential Functions

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Explore the concept of graphing exponential functions. High school mathematicians are given exponential functions such as y=2*3^x, and they graph them on a coordinate plane.  They are given two exponential graphs and must write an...

High schoolers graph exponential equations and solve application problems using exponential functions. They re-enact a story about a peasant worker whose payment for services is rice grains doubled on a checker board. They place M &...

Exponential functions are the name of the game. Young mathematicians can work through each of the eight worksheets by evaluating functions, applying logarithms, completing logarithmic functions, and building inverse functions. This would...

This comprehensive unit on linear and exponential functions provides numerous clearly-written worksheets. Topics include graphing linear equations, solving systems of equations algebraically and by graphing, identifying the domain and...

What do forest fires have to do with math? Learners use their knowledge of linear and exponential functions to explore a real-world scenario involving a forest fire. The instructional activity employs group work and discussion to assist...

Once you know how to graph y = b^x, the sky's the limit. Young mathematicians learn to graph basic exponential functions and identify key features, and then graph functions of the form f(x) = ab^(x – h) + k from the function f(x) = b^x.

Set up a table to keep track of your values as you evaluate an exponential function. Select some values for the table to plug in to the given exponential expression. Then evaluate the expression. Do you see a pattern?

Expand your knowledge on exponential growth! A concept video features the definition of an exponential function. Eight problem videos cover graphing exponential functions, identifying exponential growth and decay, and applying...

Exponents are number 34897 to the power of 0! The short video explains what a power function is. It also demonstrates how to identify the n portion in a standard, fraction, and square root example.
