Outcomes

NC.M2.A-CED.2

Create and graph equations in two variables to represent quadratic, square root and inverse variation relationships between quantities.

NC.M2.F-IF.4

Interpret key features of graphs, tables, and verbal descriptions in context to describe functions that arise in applications relating two quantities, including: domain and range, rate of change, symmetries, and end behavior.

NC.M2.F-BF.3

Understand the effects of the graphical and tabular representations of a linear, quadratic, square root, and inverse variation function f with k ∙ f(x), f(x) + k, f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative).
