Unit 1: Functions
Prereq Test 1
Lesson Objectives
Understand the concept of a function and use function notation.
find domain and range
evaluate functions
Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of context.
intercepts, intervals of increasing, decreasing, constant, positive, negative, relative extrema, symmetries, end behavior, and periodicity
appropriate domains
average rates of change
Analyze functions using different representations.
Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.
