Algebra II: Functions: Interpreting Functions (F-IF)

Understand the concept of a function and use function notation

F-IF.3

Fully covered
Recognize that sequences are functions whose domain is a subset of the integers.

Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context

F-IF.4

Partially covered
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.

F-IF.6

Fully covered
Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.

Analyze functions using different representations

F-IF.7

Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.

F-IF.7.a

Partially covered
Graph functions (linear and quadratic) and show intercepts, maxima, and minima.

F-IF.7.b

Mostly covered
Graph square root and piecewise-defined functions, including absolute value functions.

F-IF.7.c

Fully covered
Graph polynomial functions, identifying zeros when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior.

F-IF.7.d

Fully covered
Graph rational functions, identifying zeros and asymptotes when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior.

F-IF.7.e

Mostly covered
Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior, and trigonometric functions, showing period, midline, and amplitude.

F-IF.8

Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.

F-IF.8.a

Fully covered
Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.

F-IF.8.b

Fully covered
Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)t, y = (0.97)t, y = (1.01)12t, y = (1.2)t/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth and decay.

F-IF.9

Fully covered
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.
