Unit Cluster (F.F.4, F.F.5, F.F.6) Unit Cluster (F.F.7, F.F.9) Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of a contet Analyzing functions using different representations Cluster :.. Interpret key features; intercepts, intervals where increasing and decreasing, intervals where positive and negative, relative maimums and minimums, symmetry, end behavior, domain and range, periodicity.. Relate the domain of a function to its graph or a contet..3 Average rate of change over an interval: calculate, interpret, and estimate from a graph. Cluster :.. Graph functions from equations by hand and with technology showing key features (square roots, cube roots, piecewise-defined functions including step and functions, and absolute value)... Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maima, and minima..3 Compare properties (key features) of functions each represented differently (table, graph, equation or description) VOCABULARY The domain is the set of all first coordinates when given a table or a set of ordered pairs. It is the set of all -coordinates of the points on the graph and is the set of all numbers for which an equation is defined. The domain it is written from the least value to the greatest value. The range is the set of all second coordinates when given a table or a set of ordered pairs. It is the set of all y-coordinates of the points on the graph. When modeling real world situations, the range is the set of all numbers that make sense in the problem. The range is written from the least value to the greatest value. Eample: Find the domain and range of f = + 3. Domain. Find any values for which the function is undefined. The square root function has real number solutions if the epression under the radicand is positive or zero. This means that + 0 therefore.. Write the domain in interval notation. The domain is [, ). 5

Range. Find all values for which the output eists. The square root function uses the principal square root which is a positive number or zero ( y 0 ). However, the function has been shifted down three units so the range is also shifted down three units y 3.. Write the range in interval notation. The range is [ 3, ) Eample: Find the domain and range of the function graphed to the right. Domain. List all the -values of the function graphed. If you were to flatten the function against the -ais you would see something like this: The function is defined for all the -values along the -ais.. Write the domain in interval notation. The domain is (, ). Range. List all the y-values of the function graphed. If you were to flatten the function against the y-ais you would see something like this: The function is defined for all the y-values greater than or equal to -.. Write the range in interval notation. The range is [, ). 6

Eample: The path of a ball thrown straight up can be modeled by the equation h t = 6t + 0t + 4 where t is the time in seconds that the ball is in the air and h is the height of the ball. What is the real world domain and range for the situation? Domain. Find all the values that would make sense for the situation. The domain represents the amount of time that the ball is in the air. At t = 0 the ball is thrown and enters the air shortly afterwards so the domain must be greater than zero. The ball will hit the ground at.45 seconds. Once it is on the ground it is no longer in the air so the domain must be less than.45 seconds. The ball is in the air for 0 < t <.45 seconds.. Write the domain in interval notation. The domain is (0,.45). Range. Find all the values that would make sense for the situation. The ball will not go lower than the ground so the height must be greater than zero. The ball will go no higher than its maimum height so the height must be less than or equal to 0.5 feet. The range will be 0 < h 0.5.. Write the range in interval notation. The range is (0,0.5]. Practice Eercises A: Find the domain and range.. f = 3 + 3. f = 3. 4. 5. Your cell phone plan charges a flat fee of $0 for up to000 tets and $0.0 per tet over 000. 6.

FACTORING (To be used before F.IF.8) VOCABULARY Factoring is the reverse of multiplication. It means to write an equivalent epression that is a product. Each of the items that are multiplied together in a product is a factor. An epression is said to be factored completely when all of the factors are prime polynomials, that is they cannot be factored any further. The greatest common factor is the largest epression that all the terms have in common. FACTOR OUT A COMMON TERM Eample: + 6 + 8 What is the largest factor that evenly divides,6, and 8? : 6 : 3 8 : The common numbers are and. Multiply them and the product is the greatest common factor. 6 8 + + ( + + ) 3 4 Divide each term by the greatest common factor. Rewrite with the common term on the outside of the parenthesis and the simplified terms inside the parenthesis. Eample: 4 3 8w 3w + 5w What is the largest factor that evenly divides 4 3 8 w,3 w, and 5w? 4 8 w : w w w w 3 3 w : w w w 3 5 w : w w 5 8w 3w 5w + w w w 4 3 ( 8 3 + 5) w w w The common numbers are w and w. Multiply them and the product is the greatest common factor. Divide each term by the greatest common factor. Rewrite with the common term on the outside of the parenthesis and the simplified terms inside the parenthesis. 47

VOCABULARY An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane the sum of whose distances from two fied points (called foci), F and F, is constant. The midpoint of the segments connecting the foci is the center of the ellipse. P(, y) d F(-c, 0) d F(c, 0) An ellipse can be elongated horizontally or vertically. The line through the foci intersects the ellipse at its vertices. The segment whose endpoints are the vertices is called the major ais. The minor ais is a segment that is perpendicular to the major ais and its endpoints intersect the ellipse. 7

VOCABULARY A hyperbola is the set of all points in a plane whose distances from two fied points in the plane have a constant difference. The fied points are the foci of the hyperbola. The line through the foci intersects the hyperbola at its vertices. The segment connecting the vertices is called the transverse ais. The center of the hyperbola is the midpoint of the transverse ais. Hyperbolas have two oblique asymptotes that intersect at the center. Deriving the Standard Equation of a Hyperbola PF PF = ± a The difference of the distance from a point P, y on the hyperbola to each foci, c,0 and c,0, is equal to ± a. 80

Unit Cluster 3 (F.BF.) Building Functions That Model Relationships Between Two Quantities Cluster 3: Building functions that model relationships between two quantities.3. Focus on quadratics and eponentials to write a function that describes a relationship between quantities ( nd difference for quadratics).3. Determine an eplicit epression or steps for calculation from contet..3. Combine functions using arithmetic operations. Vocabulary A function is a relation for which each input has eactly one output. In an ordered pair the first number is considered the input and the second number is considered the output. If any input has more than one output, then the relation is not a function. For eample the set of ordered pairs {(,), (3,5),(8,)} is a function because each input value has an output value. The set {(, ) (, 3), (6, 7)} does not represent a function because the input has two different outputs and 3. Linear Function- a function that can be written in the form y = m + b,where m and b are constants. The graph of a linear function is a line. A linear function can be epressed in two different ways: Linear notation: y = m + b Function notation: f = m + b f = + Linear functions can model arithmetic sequences, where the domain is the set of positive integers, because there is a common difference between each successive term. The common difference can also be called the first difference. Linear functions can model any pattern where the first difference is the same number., 3, 5, 7,... + + + st difference 89

Eponential Function- a function of the form f = ab where a and b are constants and a 0, b > 0, and b. Eponential functions are most easily recognized by the variable in the eponent. The values of f() are either increasing (eponential growth) if a > 0 and b > or decreasing (eponential decay) if a > 0 and 0 < b <. Eponential functions can model geometric sequences, where the domain is the set of positive integers, because each successive term is multiplied by the same number called the common ratio. Eponential functions can model any pattern where the net term is obtained by multiplying each successive term by the same number. f ( ) =, 3, 9, 7,... 3 3 3 common ratio Quadratic Function- a function that can be written in the form f = a + b + c where a 0. Quadratic functions are most easily recognized by the term. The graph is a parabola. A quadratic function can be formed by multiplying two linear functions. The quadratic function to the right can also be written as ( 3)( ) f = +. To determine if a pattern or a sequence can be modeled by a quadratic function, you have to look at the first and second difference. The second difference is the difference between the numbers in the first difference. If the first difference is not the same number but the second difference is, then the pattern or sequence can be modeled by a quadratic function. f = 5 3, 4, 9, 6,... +3 + +5 + +7 st difference nd difference 90

Eample: Determine if the pattern, 3, 9, 9, would be modeled by a linear function, an eponential function, or a quadratic function. Answer: Check the first difference to see if it is the same number each time. For this pattern, it is not the same, so it will not be modeled by a linear function. Check to see if each term is being multiplied by the same factor. For this pattern, it is not the same, so it will not be modeled by an eponential function. Check the second difference to see if it is the same number each time. For this pattern, it is the same, so the pattern can be modeled by a quadratic function., 3, 9, 9,... + +6 +0, 3, 9, 9,... 3 3., 3, 9, 9,... + +6 +0 Conclusion: The pattern can be modeled by a quadratic function. +4 +4 Practice Eercises A Determine if the pattern would be modeled by a linear function, an eponential function, or a quadratic function... 3 4 3. 4. 0, 8, 8, 3 3 4 5. 8, 7, 9, 6. 8, 6, 4, 9

Find a model for the data. t (hours) 0 4 6 8 0 Amount (mg) 50 5.6 03.6 83.8 65.9 49.7 Answer: Sometimes it is helpful to look at the graph of the points. For this particular eample, it is difficult to determine if this should be modeled by an eponential or a quadratic function 93

from the graph. Therefore, consider the contet of the eample. The amount of the drug will continue to decrease unless more is given to the patient. If the patient does not receive more medication, at some point there will only be trace amounts of the drug left in the patient s system. This would suggest a function that continues to decrease until it reaches a leveling off point. An eponential model would be better suited for this situation. Use the regression capabilities of your graphing calculator to find an eponential model for the data. Follow the instructions for the previous eample but make sure that you select option 0: EpReg.
