Outcomes

A.CED.2^

Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales. ^Equations using all available types of expressions, including simple root functions

F.IF.4^

For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity. ^Emphasize selection of appropriate models

F.IF.8^

Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function. ^Focus on using key features to guide selection of appropriate type of model function

F.IF.8b^

Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. ^Focus on using key features to guide selection of appropriate type of model function
