Unit 1

Unit Overview

Functions are used to model and analyze quantitative relationships in real-world applications. In this unit, students deepen their understanding of functions by investigating piecewise, step, absolute value, and inverse functions. Students extend their understanding of function notation by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing functions, and determining the composition of functions. They investigate inverse functions and determine which functions have inverses that are functions. Students connect the concepts of transformations from previous courses to function notation.

Algebra 2 with Analysis students modify the domain of a function that is not one-to-one so that its inverse is a function and determine the domain of composite functions.

Algebra 2 students continue to study functions numerically, graphically, and algebraically, as well as explain and justify their solutions.
