Texas Instruments: Behaviors Quadratic Functions

Linear, exponential, now it's time for quadratic patterns! Learners build on their skills of modeling patterns by analyzing situations with quadratic functions. The sixth module in the Algebra I series has pupils analyze multiple...

Math is all about finding solutions and connections you didn't expect! Young mathematicians often first discover nonlinear patterns when graphing quadratic functions. The lesson plan begins with the vocabulary of a quadratic graph and...

This StudyCard stack teaches and tests on the exponential function. Shows connection between the function parameters and the resulting geometric behaviors of the exponential function. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, ch. 6.1.

Given a situation that can be modeled by a quadratic function or the graph of a quadratic function, the student will determine restrictions as necessary on the domain and range of the function.

Given the graph of a situation represented by a quadratic function, the student will analyze the graph and draw conclusions.

This StudyCard set teaches and tests on the rational function. Shows connection between the function parameters and the resulting geometric behaviors of the rational function. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, ch. 7.1.

Students use a graphing calculator to explore the relationship between the linear factors of a quadratic function and its zeros. They learn that the x-intercepts and axis of symmetry of a quadratic function can be determined from its...

Given a graph or verbal description of a function, the student will determine whether the parent function is quadratic or linear.

Students will explore how to determine the domain and range for quadratic functions. Students will use graphs, videos, and online activities to complete the tutorial.

Here's a very detailed, step-by-step activity for students to do to learn about the relationship between the factored form of a polynomial function and its graph. Calculator instructions for the TI-83 are given, right down to the screen...
