    Standards for Unit

    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. 
    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.
    HSF.LE.A.1 Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.
    HSF.LE.A.2 Construct linear  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.5 Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.
    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.
    HSF.BF.A.1 Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.
