Lesson stages

Introductionmcdae4490d57cb49e_1528450127855_0Introduction

At home, students prepare any plot of a function consisting of four line segments, on a checked piece of paper.

The teacher introduces the subject of the lesson – reading properties of the functionproperties of the functionproperties of the function from the plot.

Proceduremcdae4490d57cb49e_1528446435040_0Procedure

Task

Students’ task is to read for which arguments the function takes negative valuesnegative valuesnegative values and for which it takes positive valuespositive valuespositive values.

[Geogebra applet]

Students use obtained information in exercises.

Task

Give the domain, the range, roots, positive and negative values, the smallest and the greatest value of the function presented in the plot.mcdae4490d57cb49e_1527752256679_0Give the domain, the range, roots, positive and negative values, the smallest and the greatest value of the function presented in the plot.

[Illustration 1]

Task

Draw a plot of the function defined in the set {-4, -2, -1, 0, 1, 3}, knowing that:
a) the function takes negative value for three argument.
b) the function has two roots.
c) the smallest value of the function is -2.
mcdae4490d57cb49e_1527752263647_0Draw a plot of the function defined in the set {-4, -2, -1, 0, 1, 3}, knowing that:
a) the function takes negative value for three argument.
b) the function has two roots.
c) the smallest value of the function is -2.

Task

Describe properties of the functionproperties of the functionproperties of the function presented on the plot.

[Illustration 2]

Students work in pairs. They exchange pieces of paper with the drawn function they prepared at home. They read properties of the function presented on the plot. Then, they give back the pieces to each other and check if the solutions are correct. They consult possible problems with the teacher.

An extra task:

Draw the plot of the functionplot of the functionplot of the function whose domaindomaindomain is the set of real numbers, knowing that:

a) the function is constant for each argument x such that -3 ≤ x ≤ -1,
b) the function does not have the greatest value, it has the smallest value,
c) the function has four roots,
d) the function takes negative valuesnegative valuesnegative values for each argument x such that 4 ≤ x ≤ 7.

Lesson summarymcdae4490d57cb49e_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

Students do the revision exercises. Then together they sum‑up the classes, by formulating the conclusions to memorise.

Conclusions:

Describing properties of the functionproperties of the functionproperties of the function based on its plot is giving:

a) the domaindomaindomain,
b) the rangerangerange,
c) roots of the function,
d) positive and negative valuesnegative valuesnegative values,
e) the greatest and the smallest values of the function (if they exist).
