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:
Prove and apply trigonometric identities.

Standard:
Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^2(θ ) + cos^2(θ ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ ), cos(θ ), or tan(θ ) given sin(θ ), cos(θ ), or tan(θ ) and the quadrant of the angle.

Cluster:
Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. [Include rational, square root and cube root; 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.*

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. *
