Outcomes

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. '''Include rational, square root and cube root; emphasize selection of appropriate models.

F-IF.5'''

Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. '''Include rational, square root and cube root; emphasize selection of appropriate models.

F-IF.7'''

Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases. '''Include rational and radical; Focus on using key features to guide selection of appropriate type of model function
