Module Three : Algebraic Analysis (intercepts, evaluating, composition)
Unit Outcomes
At the end of this unit, you will be able to:
Find x and y intercepts algebraically
Evaluate functions algebraically
Compose functions numerically
Compose functions algebraically
Questions we will explore together...
Over the next two weeks, I'd like you to consider these questions:
How can I use what I know about x and y intercepts to find the x and y intercepts of a function, using Algebra?
Can I read function notation and find a missing value(s)? How do I know what value to find, x or f(x)?
How can I perform a numeric composition of functions algebraically?
How can I perform a composition of two functions to create a new function?
