Essential Question: What are the different function families? Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-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 CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.C.7 Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.

CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-LE.A.1 Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-LE.A.2 Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).

Essential Question: How do you identify a function from a graph? Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.B.5 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function. CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.C.9 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. Opener: Sketch an example of each of the following graphs: 1) A linear function 2) An exponential function 3) A quadratic function 4) An absolute value function Lesson: There are Many Ways to Represent Functions

Vocabulary: Function Family - A group of functions with similar characteristics. Linear Function - A function of the form f(x) = mx + b. When graphed it forms a straight line.

Exponential Function - A function of the form f(x) = a * b^x. When graphed it forms a curved line which increases or decreases with changing degree. Absolute Maximum - The highest point on your graph. Absolute Minimum - The lowest point on your graph. Quadratic Function - A function of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c. When graphed it forms a parabola. Absolute Value Function - A function of the form f(x) = a | x + b| + c. When graphed it forms a v-shape. Extra Help: Vertical Line Test and Function Families

Essential Question: How do we use function notation to represent functions? How do we use a graphing calculator to display graphs of functions? Standards: CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.B.5 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.

CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.C.9 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. CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-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 of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x). CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.A.2 Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context. Lesson: There are Many Ways to Represent Functions Warm Up: The Importance of Details (How to Describe Functions) Lesson 1.3 Problem 1 Lesson 1.3 Problem 2 Vocabulary: Function Notation - A way of representing functions where y is replaced by f(x) (pronounced f of x) which gives a name to the function, f, and tells us that the output of the function depends on our variable x. Increasing Function - A function which moves upward as we go left to right from the yaxis. Decreasing Function - A function which moves downward as we go left to right from the y-axis. Constant Function - A function which stays completely horizontal as we go left to right from the y-axis. Extra Help: Khan Academy - Intro to Functions

Essential Question: How do we describe graphs? Standards: F-IF.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 of f corresponding to the input x. The graph off is the graph of the equation y = f(x). F-IF.5. Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. Lesson: A Sort of Sorts Lesson 1.2 Warm Up Lesson 1.2 Problem 3 Lesson 1.2 Talk the Talk Vocabulary: Domain - The set of all input values (x-values or independent quantities). Range - The set of all output values (y-values or dependent quantities). Relation - A mapping of objects in the domain to objects in the range. Function - A relation between two sets of quantities in which each input, there exists exactly one output. Vertical Line Test - If a vertical line can be drawn anywhere on your graph which crosses your relation more than once, then your relation is not a function. Discrete Graph - A graph consisting of isolated points. Continuous Graph - A graph consisting of points that are connected by a line or smooth curve.

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.

Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals. Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another. Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another.
