nikimathnikimath

Radical Equations - Partner Activity

(0)
This is an engaging and collaborative partner activity on solving radical equations. There are two problem pages/slides. Each page/slide consists of four sections. In each section partners are given a radical equation involving one or two parameters. Partners have to solve the equation for given value(s) of the parameter(s). Partner A will solve the equation for one value(s) of the parameter(s) and partner B will solve the same equation for another value(s) of the parameter(s). As the students obtain similar equations in each section they can help each other with methods. There are included equations with extraneous solutions. This product can be completed individually as well. Some of the problems (for instance the problems of partner A) can be solved as classwork and the other (the problems of partner B) can be solved as homework. Students can record their answers on the next two pages/slides in tables. Answer key pages/slides are two and they are contained at the end of this document.

Radical Equations with No Solution - Group Activity
nikimathnikimath

Radical Equations with No Solution - Group Activity

(0)
This activity is designed to be used for groups of 4, 3 and/or 2 members. It practices solving radical equations with one and two square roots having no solution. The radical equations contain: a monomial, a binomial and a rational expression under a radical symbol two radical expressions on one side and respectively on the both sides of the equation All the equations require rearranging. If it is possible it requires squaring once. Activity Directions: Partners will each have their own set of seven problems of various difficulty. They can reduce some of them to linear. Students write down the solutions of the problems on the recording sheet provided. Then partners record their answers in tables on a group response sheet and compare their results. They must verify that all equations have no solution except one which has one real root. I called this special equation “white sheep equation” and it is the equation A7. The group which has solved correctly all the equations and has found the “different” equation first wins, however it must keep the result secret so the other groups can also reach it. Answer keys are provided.

Logarithmic Equations with the Same Solution - Group Activity
nikimathnikimath

Logarithmic Equations with the Same Solution - Group Activity

(0)
This is a collaborative and challenging group activity to practice solving logarithmic equations. Students will apply the properties of logarithms: • One - To - One Property • Product Rule • Quotient Rule There are given six groups logarithmic equations of different types ( total of 24 equations). Most of the equations need to be transformed from logarithmic to exponential form. There are included equations with common and natural logarithms. Extraneous solutions are possible. Activity Directions: Each member of a group is asked to choose one of the equations from group A to solve it. Then members are instructed to search for one and only equation of each of the other groups of logarithmic equations which has the same solution as their own initially chosen equation of group A. A proposal strategy for a group of 4 to handle this task: each partner solves one equation of each group and then members sort the equations into groups according their solutions. Students solve equations on a separate sheet of paper and then show solutions to the equations having the same root on the recording sheets provided. Answer keys are included.
Logarithmic Equations - Partner Activity
nikimathnikimath

Logarithmic Equations - Partner Activity

(0)
This is a collaborative and engaging partner activity on logarithmic equations of the following types: ▸ log(base b) f(x) + log(base b) g(x) = c ▸ log(base b) f(x) - log(base b) g(x) = c where b and c are constants and f(x) and g(x) are linear functions involving a parameter a . (Students are given the values of the parameter so they will NOT solve a parametric equation). There are possible extraneous solutions so students have to determine the domain of the logarithmic functions for each equation. Activity Directions: There are 10 sections as in each section partners have to solve a logarithmic equation involving the parameter a for two different given values of the parameter. This is a wonderful way for students to work on different, but similar problems and it encourages them to help each other with methods. Student recording sheet and answer keys are provided.

On each slide/page students are given one exponential equation to solve for x and one logarithmic equation to solve for y, students are also given a hint - a system with two variables as it is known that the roots of the equations satisfy this system. Students can solve the system or just substitute the values of x and y they have obtained in it to check whether their work is correct. (Each equation and system are thought to have only solution! Some logarithmic equations have extraneous solutions. Systems are linear, nonlinear, consisting of exponential and logarithmic equations and containing radical equations ).

Exponential and Logarithmic Equations - Thanksgiving Cards For Partners (48 problems)
nikimathnikimath

Exponential and Logarithmic Equations - Thanksgiving Cards For Partners (48 problems)

(0)
These are 12 Thanksgiving task cards for partners – a total of 48 problems in which students will practice solving exponential and logarithmic equations. There are one exponential (equation A) and one logarithmic equation(equation B) on each card. The equations involve a parameter. Students are asked to solve each of the equations A and B for two given different values of the parameter. Thus, students have four problems per card – problems Aa, Ab, Ba and Bb. Students can work in pairs (partner activity) or in groups of three and four (group activity). The equations require the use of logarithms and exponentials as inverses. Exponential equations include problems that can be solved using a common base along with problems that require logarithms (a^x=b and a^(cx +d) = b, where a=b or/and a≠b). Common base problems require combining exponents using laws of exponents. Logarithmic equations include basic logarithmic equations ( log (base a) x = b and log (base a) (cx+d)=b ) and some problems in which students must apply the properties of logarithms (adding and subtracting logarithms). The cards can be used individually as well. The teacher or student can choose which problems to be solved – like problems 1Aa, 2Ba, 3Ab, 4Bb, etc. Student recording sheets and full solutions (handwritten clearly) are included.
