Unit Focus:

  • Understand the concept of a function and use function notation

  • Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context

  • Understand the concept of a non-linear function and use function notation

  • Interpret non-linear functions that arise in applications in terms of the context

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

  • Understand that the zeroes of polynomials are related to the factors of the polynomials and that the zeroes represent one key feature used in graphing polynomial
