In this introductory activity, students explore when a graph has two zeros, one zero, and no zeros. They will also determine when a graph has real, rational, irrational, or imaginary roots. The teacher should follow up the activity with a formal discussion on the discriminant.

In this activity, students will use polynomial regression to develop and assess the fit of equations modeling data. The equation models are then evaluated for reasonableness in their use for extrapolating beyond the given data sets.

Students will run two experiments that involve simulating pouring out coins from a bag. They will collect the data and graph it, using different methods to find equations to model the data. Then students will find the inverse of the data and corresponding equation to model it.

Students discover the change of base rule for logarithms by examining the ratio of two logarithmic functions with different bases. Students explore the hypothesis that the two functions are related by a constant first by viewing a table of values, then by exploring different values for the two bases. Finally, they prove the change of base rule algebraically and apply it to find the sum of the two original functions.

Students explore vertical and phase shifts of sine and cosine functions, after a brief review of period and amplitude. Students will manipulate sliders to change the values of parameters in trigonometric functions; they will determine the effect that each change has upon the shape of the graph. They will then use this knowledge to write a sine function as a cosine function.
