Outcomes

A1.F.IF.A.1

Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

A1.F.IF.A.2.A

Use function notation to evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, including functions of two variables.

A1.F.IF.B.5

Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the context of the function it models. *

A1.F.IF.B.6

Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate and interpret the rate of change from a graph.*

A1.F.IF.C.9

Compare properties of functions represented algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions.*

A1.F.IF.C.9.A

Compare properties of two different functions. Functions may be of different types and/or represented in different ways.

A1.F.IF.C.9.B

Compare properties of the same function on two different intervals or represented in two different ways.

A1.F.LE.A.1.A

Know that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.

A1.F.LE.A.1.B

Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another.

A1.MP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

A1.MP2

Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

A1.MP3

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

A1.MP4

Model with mathematics.

A1.MP6

Attend to precision.

A1.MP7

Look for and make use of structure.
