This worksheet covers several topics related to functions and their graphs. These topics include: domain, range, positive, negative, increasing, and decreasing intervals, extrema, end behavior, asymptotic behavior, inverses (graphs), one-to-one, symmetry (graphic and algebraic), and finding domains algebraically. I used it for extra credit practice before a quiz in Algebra 2 Honors.

This puzzle is used to review or reinforce logarithm evaluations without a calculator. It requires the students to understand the concept of getting numbers into the same base in order to evaluate the logarithm. Cut the squares out and explain to the kids that they are to match the logarithmic expressions to their appropriate evaluation edge-to-edge. The puzzle prints as the answer key already. This is a great group activity for test review!

This worksheet uses piecewise graphs to practice all of the major features and properties of functions, and includes an answer key. Topics covered are: interval notation, domain, range, increasing, decreasing, constant, extrema, continuity, and types of discontinuities.

This is a matching exercise to help students practice solving nonlinear systems. The students should work in groups to match the graphs to the appropriate equations. Then, once they see what the solutions are from the graphs, they should find the solutions algebraically. This helps the students by giving them a graphical representation of what is happening when solving this kind of system.

This is a handout for Algebra 2 students that highlights parabolas and all of their properties. It includes domain, range, intercepts, increasing/decreasing intervals, min/max, axis of symmetry, vertex, focus, directrix, and examples of each form. This is intended to be used as a study aid during the parabola unit.

This exercise covers the graphs and properties of parabolas written in vertex form, standard form, and intercept form. It is intended for Algebra 2 students, but will work for any course that studies conic sections.

This worksheet will help students find the domains of functions using algebraic skills. The functions include rational functions, radical functions, and complex fractions (nested fractions). The skills needed are, but not limited to, solving quadratics and polynomials by factoring, polynomial inequalities, sign diagrams, solving proportions, and general understanding of graphing. This sheet can used for homework, enrichment, or test review. It would be useful for Algebra 2 Honors, Intermedia

This exercise is designed to teach the students to recognize equivalent forms of quadratics, and to find their key features along the way. It is set up in a way that requires the students to use features as clues as to how to write the equivalent forms. It also requires the students to graph the equations that they find.
