Class project on curvature of the earth using tangent lines and central angles.
The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra can be used in order to determine how many real roots a given polynomial has.
Practice using volume and density when optimizing space and cost
This page provides practice determining whether a study is observational or an experiment.
Finding the inverse of functions on restricted domains.
Here you will use your knowledge of both inverses and parametric equations to solve problems.
In this Khan Academy activity, students will identify the period of sinusoidal functions from a given equation.
In this Khan Academy activity, students will identify the period of sinusoidal functions from a graph.
This worksheet covers creating, graphing, and evaluating piecewise functions.
Interactive application of a piecewise function.
Students will be exposed to to piecewise functions in general and the absolute value and step functions specifically.
In this Khan Academy activity, students will use the function of a non-linear piecewise function to determine the graph.
This blog talks about piecewise functions and relations. May be useful to better understand piecewise functions and how their domains work for both student and teacher.
Students will be able to create piecewise and step functions that relate to real-life situations and use those functions to solve problems and interpret graphs of piecewise and step functions in a real-life situation.
This task can be implemented in a variety of ways. For a class with previous exposure to properties of perpendicular bisectors, part (a) could be a quick exercise in geometric constructions, and an application of the result.
Worksheet that uses the definitions and properties of the centers of a triangle to solve problems.
This interactive resource allows a teacher or student to manipulate the vertices of the triangle to investigate the location of the centers of a triangle.
Practice worksheet on population density
This activity allows students to set up a statistical question to explore a population parameter of interest and, more specifically, perform a hands-on investigation to investigate a claim about a population proportion.
In this Khan Academy activity, students will determine when a polynomial function is positive or negative.
