Unit 1

Unit Overview

In this unit, students extend their knowledge of functions and models. Students analyze functions and their properties including domain and range, continuity, symmetry, even and odd, increasing and decreasing, extrema, and boundedness. Parent functions are reviewed and applied to piece-wise functions. Students combine functions algebraically and determine inverses of non-linear functions. Students review and extend their knowledge of the algebra and geometry of transformations. Power functions are connected to direct and inverse proportional relationships. Honors Precalculus students study implicitly defined relations and transformations of graphs on a restricted interval.
