Mathematics 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.
