In this episode of Algebra Applications, students explore the following scenario: Scientists use conic sections to map the trajectories of spacecraft in flight. The setting for this episode is a planned future flight to Mars.

Functions are relationships between quantities that change. Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, this video explores the definition of a function, its vocabulary and notations, and distinguishes the concept of function from a general relation.

The relationship between slope and grade in cycling is explored. Go on a tour of Italy through the mountains of Tuscany and apply students' understanding of slope.

Scientists use conic sections to map the trajectories of spacecraft in flight. The setting for this episode is a planned future flight to Mars. As the ship travels from Earth to Mars, parabolic, circular, and elliptical paths are explored.

The liftoff and pre-orbital path of the rock is described by a parabola. Students explore the properties of parabolas from the standpoint of the parametric equations that describe the horizontal and vertical directions of motion for the rocket.

The path of a rocket orbiting the Earth can be modeled with the equation of a circle. Students explore the quadratic relation and the parametric equations that can be used to model the path of a spacecraft orbiting Earth.

The planets orbiting the sun follow elliptical paths. In fact, the trajectory of a spacecraft traveling to Mars would also be elliptical. Students explore these various ellipses.

Functions are relationships between quantities that change. Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, this video explores the definition of a function, its vocabulary and notations, and distinguishes the concept of function from a general relation.

In this Investigation we explore the definition of a Relation. This video is Segment 1 of a 4 segment series related to Functions and Relations. Segments 1 and 2 are grouped together.

In this Investigation we look at functions. This video is Segment 3 of a 4 segment series related to Functions and Relations. Segments 3 and 4 are grouped together.

In this Algebra Application, students examine the music industry, specifically the rise of Korean pop music, or K-Pop. Using industry data students examine tables and graphs of categorical data before identifying possible functional relationships.

In this Slide Show, learn what it means to evaluate a function.

This set of tutorials provides 18 examples that explore the concept of functions and their inverses. We look at both linear and non-linear functions.

This PowerPoint includes the 18 Tutorials on the topic of graphs of Quadratic Functions in Standard Form.

This set of tutorials provides 8 examples of graphical solutions to quadratic equations.

In this Slide Show, learn about domain and range.

In this Slide Show, learn what a function is.

In this Slide Show, learn what a recursive function is.

In this Slide Show, learn about funciton notation in the context of evaluating or transforming a function.

This is part of a collection of math clip art images about functions, relations, their properties, and their graphs.
