Connecting BIG ideas and Answering the Essential Questions

1 Functions
A function is a relationship that pairs one input value with exactly one output value. You can use words, tables, equations, sets of ordered pairs, and graphs to represent functions.
Patterns and Functions (Lessons 4-2 and 4-3)
Linear This graph is a line that falls through approximately (0, 1) and (2, 2 and one-half).
Nonlinear This graph is an upward-opening parabola. Its vertex is (0, negative 1). It passes through approximately (negative 1 and one-half, 0) and (1 and one-half, 0).
Function Notation and Sequences (Lessons 4-6 and 4-7)
n eh open n close equals 3 plus open n minus 1 close open 2 close A(n)
1 3 plus open 1 minus 1 close open 2 close 3
2 3 plus open 2 minus 1 close open 2 close 5
3 3 plus open 3 minus 1 close open 2 close 7
2 Modeling You can use functions to model real-world situations that pair one input value with a unique output value. Using Graphs to Relate Two Quantities (Lesson 4-1)
A graph displays data on a bus trip.

Graphing a Function Rule (Lesson 4-4)
This graph is a line that rises through approximately (0, negative 1) and (1, 1). Continuous
This graph consists of 3 points plotted at approximately (0, 0), (1, 1), and (2, 2). Discrete
Writing a Function Rule (Lesson 4-5)
c equals , 1 fourth , n plus 6 eh equals , s squared
