uses function notation to describe and graph functions of one variable and graphs inequalities in one and 2 variables (Path: Adv)
Stn (Standard), Adv (Advanced) and Ext (Extension) have been used to suggest paths for related Stage 6 courses.
Define a relation over 2 sets as an association between the elements of one set to the elements of another set
Notate relations as a set of ordered pairs of real numbers
Define a function as a relation over 2 sets where each element of the first set is associated with exactly one element in the second set
Apply the vertical line test on a graph to decide whether it represents a function
Use the notation when expressing a function
Use the notation to determine the value of when
Define the domain as the set of all allowable values of
Define the range as the set of possible -values as varies over the domain of the function
Determine and describe the domain and range for a variety of functions
Use graphing applications to graph and compare functions of the form , , and , and describe their transformations
