This lesson will provide real world examples that involve graphing exponential functions. It is 3 of 5 in the series titled "Exponential Functions in the Real World."

At the bottom of this page from the Georgia State University, you will two real-world applications of the Laws of Sines and Cosines (in the context of velocity vectors.)

In this task, students use trigonometric functions to model the movement of a point around a wheel and through space. Students also interpret features of graphs in terms of the given real-world context. Aligns with F-TF.B.5 and F-IF.B.4.

This task provides a real-world context for examining the power of exponential growth and decay. Students experiment, at the macro level, using scotch tape to pull a chip of graphite apart into two pieces. They are asked to find about...
