In this unit you will study recursive and explicit representations of arithmetic and geometric sequences. You will also study exponential, logarithmic, and power functions and explore key features of their graphs. In addition, you will look at transformations, compositions, and inverses of functions.
How are recursive relationships used to model and investigate long-term behavior involving sequential change?
How are exponential, logarithmic, and power functions used to model real-world problems?
