Critical Area of Focus # 2 Grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships Students grasp the concept of a function as a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. They understand that functions describe situations where one quantity determines another. They can translate among representations and partial representations of functions (noting that tabular and graphical representations may be partial representations), and they describe how aspects of the function are reflected in the different representations. Domain: Functions Cluster: Define, evaluate, and compare functions. Understand that a function is a rule UCSMP Algebra Full Version of that assigns to each input exactly _x_ Full 1st Textbook, Kuta Kuta Software, one output. The graph of a function is ___ Partial Software (free trial), Set of the set of ordered pairs consisting of ___ No Internet Explorer, Graphing an input and the corresponding Khan Academy Calculators output. Compare properties of two UCSMP Algebra Full Version of functions each represented in a Textbook, Kuta Kuta Software, different way (algebraically, Software (free trial), Set of graphically, numerically in tables, or Internet Explorer, Graphing _x_ Full 1st by verbal descriptions). For example, Khan Academy Calculators ___ Partial given a linear function represented ___ No by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
