Solve and graph mathematical and real-world problems that are modeled with rational functions. Interpret key features and determine constraints in terms of the context.
Clarifications
Clarification 1: Key features are limited to domain; range; intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive or negative; end behavior; and asymptotes.Clarification 2: Instruction includes representing the domain, range and constraints with inequality notation, interval notation or set-builder notation.
Clarification 3: Instruction includes using rational functions to represent inverse proportional relationships.
Clarification 4: Within the Algebra 2 course, numerators and denominators are limited to linear and quadratic expressions.
