Core sequence
Functions and Multiple Representations
Move in order or enter at the exact skill you need.
- 01Quantities, variables, and dependencyIdentify the input, output, parameters, and units in a quantitative relationship and explain how the quantities depend on one another.
- 02Relations and functionsDetermine whether a relation is a function by applying the rule that each allowed input has exactly one output.
- 03Function notation, evaluation, and solvingUse function notation accurately and distinguish finding an output from finding inputs that produce a chosen output.
- 04Words, tables, graphs, and formulasTranslate a function relationship among verbal, tabular, graphical, and algebraic representations while preserving quantities, units, and domain.
- 05Domain from formulasDetermine the real domain of a function by combining denominator, even-root, logarithm, and composition restrictions.
- 06Domain from contextDistinguish the algebraic domain of a formula from the inputs that are meaningful in a model.
- 07Range and global graph behaviorRead range, intercepts, extrema, boundedness, symmetry, and intervals of increase or decrease from a graph.
- 08Piecewise-defined functionsEvaluate, graph, and interpret functions that use different rules on different parts of the domain.
- 09Average rate of changeCalculate and interpret average rate of change as output change per input change and as the slope of a secant line.
- 10Function representation and modeling studioConstruct, compare, and defend function representations while stating assumptions, domain, units, and limitations.
