Algebra 1 Chapter 9 Bundle: Exponential & Radical Functions (Editable)

Equip students to model real-world change and work fluently with radicals. This bundle includes 4 fully editable worksheets with detailed answer keys—ideal for classwork, homework, review, test prep, or intervention. Each worksheet is scaffolded from warm-ups and vocabulary to mixed practice and challenge problems, so you can differentiate with ease.

What’s included (4 worksheets + answer keys)

1. Exponential Growth & Decay
   • Classify growth vs. decay; identify growth/decay factors and percent change
   • Construct exponential functions from tables, descriptions, or contexts
   • Compare linear vs. exponential patterns (equal differences vs. equal factors)
   (Answer key included.)
   
2. Graphing Exponential Functions
   • Build tables, analyze y-intercepts and horizontal asymptotes, determine domain/range
   • Decide growth or decay and write rules of the form y = a·b^x from data
   (Answer key included.)
   
3. Simplifying Radical Expressions (with rational exponents)
   • Convert between radical and rational-exponent forms; simplify and rationalize
   • Multiply/divide radicals; mixed practice and challenge items
   (Answer key included.)
   
4. Solving Radical Equations
   • Isolate radicals, square both sides, and check for extraneous solutions
   • Apply skills to word problems and formula contexts
   (Answer key included.)
   

CCSS alignment (Algebra 1)

• HSF.LE.A.1.A, HSF.LE.A.1.B — Linear vs. exponential change; constant differences vs. constant factors (9-1, 9-2).
• HSF.LE.A.2 — Construct exponential functions from graphs, descriptions, or input-output pairs (9-1, 9-2).
• HSN.RN.A.2 — Rewrite expressions with radicals and rational exponents using exponent properties (9-3).
• HSA.REI.A.2 — Solve simple radical equations and identify extraneous solutions (9-4).
