There are standards listed in this section for two reasons.
- The standards have been modified to be appropriate for this unit. Text in gray font is part of the Michigan K-12 standard but does not apply to this unit. Text in brackets denotes a modification that has been made to the standard.
- The standards contain content that is developed and/or utilized across multiple units.
Modified For this Unit
Creating Equations
HSA-CED.A. Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.
HSA-CED.A.1. Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.
Reasoning with Equations & Inequalities
HSA-REI.D. Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically.
HSA-REI.D.11. Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
Interpreting Functions
HSF-IF.B. Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.
HSF-IF.B.4. For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.★
HSF-IF.C. Analyze functions using different representations.
HSF-IF.C.7a. Graph linear and quadraticfunctions and show intercepts, maxima, and minima.
HSF.IF.C.7.b. Graph square root, cube root,and piecewise-defined functions, including step functions and absolute value functions.
HSF-IF.C.9. Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.
Building Functions
HSF-BF.B. Build new functions from existing functions.
HSF-BF.B.3. Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.
Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models
HSF-LE.A. Construct and compare linear and exponential models and solve problems.
HSF-LE.A.1. Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with [nonlinear functions] exponential functions.
HSF-LE.A.1a. Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.
HSF-LE.A.2. Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
HSF-LE.B. Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.
HSF-LE.B.5. Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.

HSN-Q.A. Reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems.
HSN-Q.A.2. Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling.
HSN-Q.A.3. Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.
Creating Equations
HSA-CED.A. Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.
HSA-CED.A.2. Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities
HSA-REI.D. Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically.
HSA-REI.D.10. Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).
Interpreting Functions
HSF-IF.A. Understand the concept of a function and use function notation.
HSF-IF.A.1. Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).
HSF-IF.B. Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.
HSF-IF.B.4. For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.★
HSF-IF.B.5. Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.★
HSF-IF.B.6. Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.
HSF-IF.C. Analyze functions using different representations.
HSF-IF.C.7. Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.
