Cluster:
Analyze functions using different representations. [Linear, exponential, quadratic, absolute value, step, piecewise-defined]

Standard:
Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function. 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, and y = (1.2)^t/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay.

Cluster:
Analyze functions using different representations. [Linear, exponential, quadratic, absolute value, step, piecewise-defined]

Standard:
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.

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals. *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another. *

Cluster:

Standard:
Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table). *

Cluster:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

Standard:
Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function. *

Cluster:
Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Standard:
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context. * [Linear and exponential of form f(x) = b^x + k]

Cluster:
Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Standard:
Apply quadratic functions to physical problems, such as the motion of an object under the force of gravity. CA *

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. *
