Unit 4 Lesson 15/16

 

Functions

 

8.F.A.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.

 

8.F.A.2 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).  For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

 

 

 

Learning Objective:

 

-Students understand that a function is a rule that takes an input and produces only one output; therefore, functions occur when there is exactly one y-value associated with any x-value. Students identify functions from equations, graphs, and tables/ordered pairs and are not expected to use the function notation f(x) at this level.

 

-Students compare two functions from different representations.
