Algebra I: Functions: Building Functions (F-BF)

Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities

F-BF.1.a

Mostly covered
Determine an explicit expression or steps for calculation from a context.

F-BF.1.b

Fully covered
Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. For example, build a function that models the temperature of a cooling body by adding a constant function to a decaying exponential, and relate these functions to the model.

Build new functions from existing functions

F-BF.3

Partially covered
Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.
