35 ) Find inverse functions. [F-BF4]

a. Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse, and write an expression for the inverse. [F-BF4a]

Example: f(x) =2x3 or f(x) = (x+1)/(x-1) for x ≠ 1.

[MA2015] AL2 (9-12) 20 :
20 ) 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. [A-CED1]

[MA2015] AL2 (9-12) 27 :
27 ) 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.* [A-REI11]

[MA2015] AL2 (9-12) 31 :
31 ) Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function. [F-IF8]

[MA2015] AL2 (9-12) 36 :
36 ) For exponential models, express as a logarithm the solution to abct = d where a, c, and d are numbers, and the base b is 2, 10, or e; evaluate the logarithm using technology. [F-LE4]

[MA2019] AL1-19 (9-12) 16 :
16. Compare and contrast relations and functions represented by equations, graphs, or tables that show related values; determine whether a relation is a function. Explain that a function f is a special kind of relation defined by the equation y = f(x).
[MA2019] AL1-19 (9-12) 17 :
17. Combine different types of standard functions to write, evaluate, and interpret functions in context. Limit to linear, quadratic, exponential, and absolute value functions.

a. Use arithmetic operations to combine different types of standard functions to write and evaluate functions.

Example: Given two functions, one representing flow rate of water and the other representing evaporation of that water, combine the two functions to determine the amount of water in a container at a given time.

b. Use function composition to combine different types of standard functions to write and evaluate functions.

Example: Given the following relationships, determine what the expression S(T(t)) represents.

Function Input Output
G Amount of studying: s Grade in course: G(s)
S Grade in course: g Amount of screen time: S(g)
T Amount of screen time: t Number of follers: T(t)
[MA2019] AL1-19 (9-12) 21 :
21. Compare properties of two functions, each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). Extend from linear to quadratic, exponential, absolute value, and general piecewise.

Title: Algebra II Module 3, Topic D: Using Logarithms in Modeling Situtation
URL: https://www.engageny.org/resource/algebra-ii-module-3-topic-d-overview
Description:

Module 3, Topic D opens with a hands-on simulation and modeling activity in which students gather data and apply the analysis of Lesson 22 in Topic C to model it with an exponential function (A-CED.2, F-LE.5). Students use logarithms to solve exponential equations analytically and express the solution as a logarithm (F-LE.4). Students study the relationship between exponential growth and decay and geometric series (F-IF.3), and students must use properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions (F-IF.8b). Armed with a more thorough understanding of exponential functions and equations, students revisit the topic of Newton’s Law of Cooling that was introduced in Algebra I (F-BF.1b).

Example: Calculate mortgage payments.

Title: Algebra II Module 3, Topic E: Geometric Series and Finance
URL: https://www.engageny.org/resource/algebra-ii-module-3-topic-e-overview
Description:

Module 3, Topic E is a culminating series of lessons driven by MP.4, Modeling with Mathematics. Students apply what they have learned about mathematical models and exponential growth to financial literacy while developing and practicing the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series (A-SSE.4). Throughout this set of lessons, students study the mathematics behind car loans, credit card payments, savings plans, and mortgages, developing the needed formulas from summing a finite geometric series in each case. Key features of tables and graphs are used to answer questions about finances (F-IF.7e).
