Strand: FUNCTIONS - Interpret Functions (F.IF)

Interpret quadratic functions that arise in applications in terms of a context (Standards F.IF.4-6). Analyze functions using different representations (Standards F.IF.7-9).

Standard F.IF.9

Compare properties of two functions, each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). Extend work with quadratics to include the relationship between coefficients and roots, and that once roots are known, a quadratic equation can be factored. For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.

• FUNCTIONS - Interpret Functions (F.IF) - Sec Math II Core Guide
  The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) and educators around the state of Utah developed these guides for the Secondary Mathematics II - Interpret Functions (F.IF).
• Functions and Everyday Situations
  This lesson unit is intended to help educators assess how well students are able to articulate verbally the relationships between variables arising in everyday contexts, translate between everyday situations and sketch graphs of relationships between variables, and interpret algebraic functions in terms of the contexts in which they arise. Students will also reflect on the domains of everyday functions and in particular whether they should be discrete or continuous.
• GeoGebra
  GeoGebra is dynamic online geometry software. Constructions can be made with points, vectors, segments, lines, polygons, conic sections, inequalities, implicit polynomials and functions. All of them can be changed dynamically afterwards.
• Introduction to the Materials (Math 2)
  Introduction to the Materials in the Mathematics Two of the The MVP classroom experience begins by confronting students with an engaging task and then invites them to grapple with solving it. As students ideas emerge, take form, and are shared, the teacher orchestrates the student discussions and explorations towards a focused mathematical goal. As conjectures are made and explored, they evolve into mathematical concepts that the community of learners begins to embrace as effective strategies for analyzing and solving problems.
• Representing Quadratic Functions Graphically
  This lesson unit is intended to help educators assess how well students are able to understand what the different algebraic forms of a quadratic function reveal about the properties of its graphical representation.
• Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
  This collection of resources to teach graphing equations in slope intercept form includes warm-up exercises, a video presentation explaining the topic, practice exercises, worked examples, practice problems, and a review.
• Solving Quadratic Functions by Completing the Square video
  This video introduces and explains the topic.
• Sorting Equations of Circles 2
  This lesson unit is intended to help educators assess how well students are able to translate between the equations of circles and their geometric features, and sketch a circle from its equation.
