+ | Students will represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures in a broader context of linear and nonlinear functions. They will identify essential quantitative relationships in a situation, determine the class or classes of functions that might model the relationships, and draw reasonable conclusions about the situation being modeled. At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to: understand the meaning of equivalent forms of expressions, equations, inequalities, and relations; write equivalent forms of equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and solve them with fluency, mentally or with paper and pencil in simple cases and using technology in all cases; use symbolic algebra to represent and explain mathematical relationships; use a variety of symbolic representations for functions and relations; judge the meaning, utility, and reasonableness of the results of symbol manipulations, including those carried out by technology; understand relations and functions and select, convert flexibly among, and use various representations for them; analyze functions of one variable by investigating rates of change, intercepts, zeros, asymptotes, and local and global behavior; understand and perform transformations such as arithmetically combining, composing, and inverting commonly used functions, using technology to perform such operations on more-complicated symbolic expressions; understand and compare the properties of classes of functions, including exponential, polynomial, rational, and logarithmic functions; identify essential quantitative relationships in a situation and determine the class or classes of functions that might model the relationships; use symbolic expressions to represent relationships arising from various contexts; draw reasonable conclusions about a situation being modeled. |
