Abstract: We consider functions that have a known structure but involve a number of unknown parameters. Specifically, we consider classes of functions that involve sums of exponential terms. The ...

When it comes to teaching mathematics to students, identifying different types of functions can be a challenging task. Two of the most common types of functions encountered in high school math are ...

The graph below has a turning point (3, -2). Write down the nature of the turning point and the equation of the axis of symmetry. For the parabola \(y=(x+6)(x-4)\) determine the coordinates and nature ...

This study is an attempt to analyze students' construction of function based problem solving methods in introductory algebra. It claims that for functions to be a main concept for learning school ...

Linear and nonlinear functions are the building blocks of algebra. They are essential to the understanding of graphs, equations, and the principles that govern the study of mathematics beyond the ...
