Algebra II
AII.14 The student will solve nonlinear systems of equations, including linear-quadratic and quadratic-quadratic, algebraically and graphically. The graphing calculator will be used as a tool to visualize graphs and predict the number of solutions.
Lessons (2)
Teaches distinguishing between possible and impossible graphs of functions as well as causes of graphical impossibility.
Introduces the basic ideas needed for understanding functions.
Activities (2)
Students can create graphs of functions entered as algebraic expressions -- similar to a graphing calculator.
Create graphs of functions and sets of ordered pairs on the same coordinate plane. This is like a graphing calculator with advanced viewing options.
