Application of Function Composition
Young mathematicians solve composition of functions. They add, subtract, multiply and divide functions and then identify the domain and range of each function. An embedded animation shows three different applications of function...
Curated OER
Finite Differences
Young mathematicians solve problems with polynomials. As they graph and analyze polynomial functions, learners define constant and finite, and determine the relationship between the constant set of differences and the slope of a linear...

Exponential vs. Power
Pupils differentiate between exponential and power functions. They identify the base, exponent and properties of exponential functions. They also graph the functions using the TI calculator.
Curated OER
Comparing Linear and Exponential Functions
Teach your class how to differentiate between linear and exponential functions. They use exponential properties to solve problems, graph them using the TI-Navigator, and make comparisons.
Curated OER
Comparing Exponential and Power Functions
Students compare and contrast exponential and power functions. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the value of x, using the graph as a visual. They compare functions with base of greater than one, to base of less than one.
