Outcomes

A2.F.2

The student will investigate and analyze characteristics of square root, cube root, rational, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and piecewise-defined functions algebraically and graphically.

A2.F.2a

Determine and identify the domain, range, zeros, and intercepts of a function presented algebraically or graphically, including graphs with discontinuities.

A2.F.2b

Compare and contrast the characteristics of square root, cube root, rational, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and piecewise-defined functions.

A2.F.2c

Determine the intervals on which the graph of a function is increasing, decreasing, or constant.

A2.F.2d

Determine the location and value of absolute (global) maxima and absolute (global) minima of a function.

A2.F.2e

Determine the location and value of relative (local) maxima or relative (local) minima of a function.

A2.F.2f

For any value, x, in the domain of f, determine f(x) using a graph or equation. Explain the meaning of x and f(x) in context, where applicable.
