develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
- ME1-11-01
solves problems involving inequalities, functions and their inverses, graphical relationships between functions, and parametric equations
Determine the domains and ranges of the sum and difference of functions where possible, and, if appropriate, verify them using a graphing application
Apply knowledge of graphical relationships to solve problems involving graphs of functions, justifying conclusions in the context of the problem where appropriate
Describe a function as one-to-one if every element in the range of the function corresponds to exactly one element of the domain
Recognise that inverse functions exist for one-to-one functions
Graph the inverse function of a given one-to-one function
Apply restrictions to the domain of a function, if it is not one-to-one, to obtain an inverse function
Solve problems based on the relationship between a function and its inverse function using algebraic and graphical techniques, including determining the points of intersection of a function and its inverse, where they exist
Express linear and quadratic functions and circles in parametric form
Convert linear and quadratic functions and circles from parametric form to Cartesian form
Graph linear and quadratic functions and circles expressed in parametric form
Solve cubic inequalities where the cubic is expressed as a product of linear factors
Solve inequalities involving rational expressions with variables in the denominator
