How Do You Solve a Word Problem Using a Function?

Concepts from the last few videos, particularly exponential growth and decay functions, are covered in this video about word problems. Viewers can apply their new (or growing) algebraic knowledge to solve the word problems along with Sal.

Three word problems involving measurements, percentages, and expenditures are the focus of this video. Sal shows how to translate word problems into solvable equations.

Sal takes your class’ newfound (or growing) knowledge of graphs of lines to the next level. He presents a few word problems in which mathematicians need to understand how to use linear function graphs.

Word problems are a problem no more with this helpful and informative video. Sal demonstrates different ways to solve typical algebraic word problems (and one geometry problem), especially how to translate the word problem into an...

Sal starts to solve a trigonometric word problem of a wayward ship captain who veers off course and once aware of his predicament, needs to know how far he is from his destination. Instead of using the Law of Cosines in his solution, Sal...

In this video, Sal solves a word problem sent in by a listener with two cyclists riding towards each other over a given time. It is an interesting problem regarding ratios and the relationship between distance, rate, and time. He shows...

For most people, solving word problems takes a lot of work. But Sal makes it look simple! Follow along as he unpacks this complicated word problem. He even demonstrates how to answer. Excellent!

If you are looking for an end-of-the-year math assessment, then this lesson could be for you! Your mathematicians are assessed on their ability to solve difficult, multi-step word problems that take quite a bit of thought and...

Yes, it's a word problem but you have all the information you need to solve it. You have a formula, and they have given you a value to plug in. So get to it and write out the formula, plug in the value and solve this word problem.

Your algebra learners will pick up some solid algebra problem solving skills and a plan of approach for some typical types of word problems in this scripted worksheet that shows how to set up and organize each type of problem,...
