Standards Student Friendly I can Statements Modeling with Quadratics A1.F.IF.B.4 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. I can (given the graph) choose the practical domain of the function as it relates to the numerical relationship it describes. Clarification: For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of personhours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function. I can describe a situation that matches a graph based on its shape. I can explain when a relation is determined to be a function, use f(x) notation. I can state the appropriate domain of a function that represents a problem situation, defend my choice, and explain why other numbers might be excluded from the domain. Comparing Linear, Exponential, and Quadratic Models
A1.F.LE.A.1 Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. a) Recognize that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals. b) Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another. c) Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant factor per unit interval relative to another. A1.F.LE.A.3 Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function. I can describe whether a given situation in question has a linear, quadratic, or exponential pattern of change. I can show that linear functions change at the same rate over time and that exponential functions change by equal factors over time. I can describe situations where one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval as compared to another. I can determine if a table of values is linear, exponential, or quadratic. I can write an equation in the appropriate form given a table of values or a graph of the equation. I can make the connection using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or any other polynomial function. A1.F.IF.C.6 Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand and using technology. Piecewise Functions I can graph square root, cube root, and piecewise functions including step and absolute value. b. Graph square root, cube root, and piecewise- I can evaluate a piecewise function for specific inputs from looking at the defined functions, including step functions and graph or by using the equation. absolute value functions. I can graph piecewise functions given the equation. Operations with Radicals & Rationalizing the Denominator
Note: Classification of function families is approached by introducing 1 function at a time in the standard class; comparing graphs and equations occurs as each function family is introduced. Honors classes can introduce these graphs simultaneously and compare key features. Honors Addendum: Note for Teachers of Honors: Do not teach this Honors Addendum at the end of the quarter. Embed the Honors Addendum within the regular Scope & Sequence. Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write a(x) / b(x) in the form q(x)+r(x) / b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system. Understand that rational expressions form a system analogous to the rational numbers, closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by a nonzero rational expression; add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions. Write the equation of piecewise functions given the graph. I can compare rational expressions by writing them in different but equivalent forms. I can multiply and divide rational expressions and simplify using equivalent forms. I can perform addition and subtraction of rational expressions. I can write the equation of piecewise functions given the graph.
