Domain - Interpreting Functions
Cluster - Analyze functions using different representations.
[AI.F-IF.C.9] - Translate among different representations of functions (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way. For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.
- Function
A mathematical relation for which each element of the domain corresponds to exactly one element of the range.
[AI.F-IF.A.1] -
Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output (range) of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).
[AI.F-IF.C.8.a] -
Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show zeros, maximum/minimum values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
[AI.F-IF.C.8.b] -
Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. Apply to financial situations such as identifying appreciation and depreciation rate for the value of a house or car some time after its initial purchase: Vn=P(1+r)n. For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)t, y = (0.97)t, y = (1.01)12t, and y = (1.2)t /10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay.
