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

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:
Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems. [Linear and exponential]

Standard:
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions. * Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another. *

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

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. [Linear and exponential]

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. [Linear and exponential of form f(x) = b^x + k]

Standard:
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context. *

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

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

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. *
