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:
Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

Standard:
Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.

Cluster:
Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

Standard:
Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.

Cluster:
Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

Standard:
Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.

Cluster:
Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

Standard:
Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?

Cluster:
Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities. * Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context. *

Cluster:
Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities. [Quadratic and exponential]

Standard:
Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities. * Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. *

Cluster:
Build new functions from existing functions. [Quadratic, absolute value]

Standard:
Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, kf(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.

Cluster:
Build new functions from existing functions. [Quadratic, absolute value]

Standard:
Find inverse functions. Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an expression for the inverse. For example, f(x) =2x^3.

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

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. *
