Overview

Students Will Be Able To

After successful completion of this unit, students will be able to understand the concept of functions. They will be able to:
  • Identify zeros of a function and their role in solutions to equations.
  • Identify domain and range in context of a given situation.
  • Understand linear functions have a constant rate of change and be able to identify it graphically, in a table, symbolically and verbally.
  • Give the output, given an input and a function in function notation, table form or graphically.
  • Identify the inverse of a function as a way to find the inputs for given multiple outputs.
  • Recognize that solving equations algebraically involves substituting one equivalent form of the equation for another equation.
  • Determine if a given situation can be modeled by a linear function or not, and write the function that models it, if it can be.
