Outcomes
In this lesson you will learn
- to use the graphs of various types of functions to model the features of an illustration of your choice
By the end of this section students will be able to:
- describe the relationships between arithmetic operations and operations on rational algebraic expressions and equations
- analyze relations, functions, and their graphs
- use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions
- demonstrate an understanding for asymptotic behaviour
- analyze and solve polynomial, rational, irrational, absolute value, and trigonometric equations
- explore and describe the connections between continuity, limits and functions
- demonstrate an intuitive understanding of the concept of limit
