Outcomes

F.IF.B.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.

F.IF.C.8

Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.

F.IF.C.8.B

Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions.

F.LE.B.5

Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.
