OBJECTIVES & STANDARDS

 Objective
 I will be able to interpret data and represent the data graphically. I will be able to identify types of functions
from their given graphs.
 California Content Standards
 Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically. [Combine polynomial, rational, radical, absolute
value, and exponential functions.
 Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. [Include rational, square root and cube
root; emphasize selection of appropriate models.]

CRITICAL THINKING

Think and explain when it is appropriate to use a quadratic

model for a set of data. How can representing data graphically
help us better understand a set of data?
