Type: Lesson/Unit Plan

Overview:

In Module 3, Topic A, students both review what they already know about exponential expressions and functions with integer exponents and extend the meaning of an exponential expression to allow for first rational and then irrational exponents (N-RN.1). Students practice applying properties of exponents to expressions with non-integer exponents (N-RN.2). Students use the average rate of change and repeated reasoning to discover Euler’s number, e (F-IF.6). 

Content Standard(s):
Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: 9-12
Algebra I with Probability
17. Combine different types of standard functions to write, evaluate, and interpret functions in context. Limit to linear, quadratic, exponential, and absolute value functions.

a. Use arithmetic operations to combine different types of standard functions to write and evaluate functions.

Example: Given two functions, one representing flow rate of water and the other representing evaporation of that water, combine the two functions to determine the amount of water in a container at a given time.

b. Use function composition to combine different types of standard functions to write and evaluate functions.

Example: Given the following relationships, determine what the expression S(T(t)) represents.
