Unit 4: Functions, Relations, and Transformations

Unit Objectives.

• Interpret graphs of functions and relations• Review function notation.• Learn about the linear quadratic, square root,

absolute-value families of functions.• Apply transformation-translation, reflection,

and dilations to the graphs of functions.• Transform functions to model real-world data.

• Objectives:1. Interpret graphs of real-world functions.2. Identify the maximum and minimum of

graphs.3. Given a real-world situation make a graphical

interpretation.

Sketch a graph that shows the relationship of time as the independent variable to the height of the fluid in the beaker as the dependent variable. Show your work on the white board. a. b. c.

November 13, 2014

Objectives:

1. Students will define a function in terms of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.

2. Students will apply function notation and review the vertical line test.

3. Define the domain and range of a function.

What is a function?

Function definition

Function: A relationship for which every value for the independent (x) variable has at most one value of the dependent (y) variable.

Function f is defined by the equation and function g is defined by the graph below:

line when you translate the line.2. Learn how to write an equation that

translates a function horizontally h units and vertically k units.

3. Describe the graph of an equation in the form by relating it to the graph of .

December 10, 2014

• Objectives: Students will brainstorm the big ideas of the first semester units.1. Recursive Sequence.2. Linear Systems3. Statistics4. Transformation of Functions.

• Each table will be assigned one of the first semester units.

• Your table will be given 10 minutes to write down as much information about that unit.

Such as: big ideas, terms, examples ect.

Remember you are up against at least one other table. Let’s see who does a better job.
