Piecewise FunctionsThe course begins with piecewise functions. This allows for a review of functions from prior courses (i.e. linear, exponential, quadratic, square root and inverse kx) while advancing understanding of course level work. Students begin by analyzing graphs of piecewise functions. This analysis includes recognizing the different pieces of the function, identifying the domain of each piece and describing the key features. Students will interpret function notation and evaluate the function for different values within the domain. Students must also graph a piecewise function with an emphasis on showing the key features. Outcome 1: I can use piecewise functions to model and solve problems. I can identify and interpret key features of piecewise functions.
