Lesson 2: 1.2 Mathematical Models: A Catalog of Essential Functions
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Students will be familiar with a catalog of basic functions and their graphs, including linear, polynomial, power, rational, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
1. What are some similarities and differences between the graphs of different types of functions?
2. How can various types of functions be applied in real-life situations?
- linear functions
- polynomial functions
- power functions
- rational functions
- algebraic functions
- trigonometric functions
- exponential functions
- logarithmic functions
