Example Questions

Example Question #11 : Express Exponential Models As Logarithmic Solutions: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsf Le.A.4

Solve for  using rules of logarithmic functions.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

This question is testing one's ability to understand logarithmic rules and apply them in order to solve a function.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, "For exponential models, express as a logarithm the solution to ab^(ct) = d where ac, and dare numbers and the base b is 2, 10, or e; evaluate the logarithm using technology." falls within the Cluster A of "Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems" concept (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF-LE.A.4). 

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Use algebraic operations to manipulate the function and isolate the  value on one side of the equation.

Add one from both sides.

Step 2: Identify logarithmic rules.

Recall that  and 

Step 3: Apply logarithmic rules to solve for 

Example Question #1 : Interpret Function Parameters: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsf Le.B.5

 
A school's theater department spends  to produce a certain play. If the play sells tickets for  each what is the function  that represents the net profit of the play?
 
Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

This question tests one's ability to recognize parameters of a function and one's understanding of dealing with said parameters in the context of a problem.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, interpret parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context, falls within the Cluster B of interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model concept (CCSS.Math.content.HSF.LE.B).

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Identify the general function that describes the situation.

Recall that the ticket sales profit is the product of the price of the ticket and the number of tickets sold.

Step 2: Identify the known values.

Step 3: Substitute known values into general function to create .
