Note from the author:
A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Question 1
1.

Solve It! The chart shows different ways you can write 4 and 16 in the form ab, in which a and b are integers and a ≠ 1.


What is the smallest number you can write in this ab form in four different ways? In five different ways? In seven different ways?

  • 64
  • 4096
  • 16,777,216
  • 24,287,916
  • In four different ways
  • In five different ways
  • In seven different ways

Problem 3 Got It? In 1995, an earthquake in Mexico registered 8.0 on the Richter scale. In 2001, an earthquake of magnitude 6.8 shook Washington state. Approximately how many times more intense was the 1995 earthquake than the 2001 earthquake? Use the Formula in Problem 3.

Problem 4 Got It? What is the graph of y = log4x ? Identify the domain, range, y-intercept, and asymptote(s).

  • Domain: x > 0
  • Domain: x > 4
  • Range: y > 0
  • Range: all real numbers
  • y-intercept: 4
  • No y-intercept
  • Vertical asymptote: x = 0
  • No asymptotes
  • Graph of y = log4x
  • Domain of y = log4x
  • Range of y = log4x
  • y-intercept of y = log4x
  • Asymptote(s) of y = log4x
Problem 4 Got It? Reasoning: Suppose you use the table to help you graph y = log2x. (Recall that if y = log2x, then 2y = x.) Complete the table.

Problem 5 Got It? How does the graph of each function compare to the graph of the parent function? Match the appropriate transformation(s) and domain, range, and asymptote changes with each function on the right.

  • Translate 3 units right
  • Translate 3 units left
  • Translate 4 units down
  • Translate 4 units up
  • Domain, range, and asymptote remain the same
  • Domain changes from x > 0 to x > 3
  • Range remains all real numbers
  • Asymptote changes from x = 0 to x = 3
  • Stretch vertically by a factor of 3
