Cluster:
Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. [Emphasize selection of appropriate models.]

Standard:
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. *

Cluster:

Standard:
Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h 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.*

Cluster:

Standard:
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. *

Cluster:
Analyze functions using different representations. [Focus on using key features to guide selection of appropriate type of model function.]

Standard:
Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases. * Graph square root, cube root, and piecewise-defined functions, including step functions and absolute value functions. *

Cluster:
Analyze functions using different representations. [Focus on using key features to guide selection of appropriate type of model function.]

Standard:
Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases. * Graph polynomial functions, identifying zeros when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior. *

Cluster:
Analyze functions using different representations. [Focus on using key features to guide selection of appropriate type of model function.]

Standard:
Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases. * Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior, and trigonometric functions, showing period, midline, and amplitude. *

Cluster:

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

Cluster:
Analyze functions using different representations. [Focus on using key features to guide selection of appropriate type of model function.]

Standard:
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).

Cluster:
Translate between the geometric description and the equation for a conic section.

Standard:
Given a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + by^2 + cx + dy + e = 0, use the method for completing the square to put the equation into standard form; identify whether the graph of the equation is a circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola and graph the equation. [In Algebra II, this standard addresses only circles and parabolas.] CA
