Types of Functions Teacher Resources

Use a table of data to graph a cubic function. Check understanding with a quiz.

Create a table of values to graph a square root function and identify the domain and the range.

Students explore the growth population of China and use graphs and equations to display data.

Compare the chirps of different crickets and in various temperatures.

The online quiz assesses student comprehension of math concepts. The quiz consists of true/false questions about non-linear functions and models.

Students will watch a video to explore how tosolve real world problems involving composite function notation.

This lesson shows how to use the horizontal line test to determine whether a function has an inverse. Students can watch a tutorial video and then take an online quiz.

As London is heading for the 2012 Olympics, it's not just athletes who are gearing up for action. Engineers, too, are working hard to produce the cutting-edge sporting equipment that guarantees record performances. If you're a tennis...

This activity will allow the students to determine the domain and range of many different graphs presented to them through TI-Navigator using the activity center.

For this task, learners are presented with a graph showing the growth of the U.S. population from 1790 to 1940 and are given the equation for a logistic function for it. They are asked to use the equation and the graph to find the...

For this task, students are presented with an equation for a logistic growth model and are asked to analyze it. They are then questioned about a graph showing bacterial population growth. Next, they must use information from earlier...

Spreadsheet software allows you to calculate numbers arranged in rows and columns for specific financial tasks. This activity allows students to create an "Employee Work/Pay Schedule" spreadsheet to reinforce spreadsheet skills. Students...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson introduces the natural number, e, and how to use it.

In this task, students are shown a table of population data for the city of London and are asked to explore whether a linear, quadratic, or exponential function would be appropriate to model relationships within the data. They are next...

This is a technology-based lesson plan that integrates science and math to investigate the dynamics of population growth.

Given a complex number in the form a+bi, find its absolute value.

This page from Wikipedia, a free and open-source encyclopedia, covers how to solve a variety of trigonometric equations, most of which involve substitution with a trigonometric identity. The identities themselves are not covered, but...

This site from a professor at Clark University teaches you about complex numbers.

Introduces logarithmic and exponential functions, showing how the two are related. Explains the components of each type of function, how to determine a function is exponential or logarithmic from a graph, and the affect of the components...

After identifying even and odd functions, the process for finding the Fourier Series for these types of functions is demonstrated. Detailed examples and graphs are provided.

Sketches of functions are drawn by determing important points: x- and y-intercepts, local maxima and minima, and point of inflection. The general shapes of specific functions are illustrated to help identify characteristics of each type...

This lesson will introduce nucleic acids, including the two different types, their functions, and where they are found. It is 2 of 9 in the series titled "Nucleic Acids."
