Again the formulation of the task is change one number in the row below to fix the marble slide.
Great set up in low entry point and working its way up to attainable challenge problem.
At least 3 in each class knew there were 16 ounces in a pound so multiply the answer by 16 ounces.

Of these functions only h x is not an exponential function remember that the independent variable must appear in the exponent for the function to be exponential.
I wanted to give activities that anyone familiar with graphing lines could complete with some effort but that could also provide further challenge for students who know more about graphing.
