Radio Station KTNS
This lesson involves determining the distance one can hear a radio station as a function of the range of the station.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/radio-station-ktns
End Behavior of Polynomial Functions
Students will use a slider to scroll through the graphs of power functions with a coefficient of positive and negative 1 and determine similarities and differences among the functions. Students will generalize the end-behavior properties of various power functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/end-behavior-of-polynomial-functions
Radical Functions
Students use a nomograph to investigate functions defined by square roots. Nomographs consist of two or more parallel axes, one for inputs and another for outputs. Input, output pairs that belong to the function are graphed as corresponding points on the axes connected by a ray drawn from the inp...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/radical-functions_1
