Area of Study- Functions and Graphs (Unit 1)
From the VCAA 2016-2020 Mathematics Study Design
In this area of study students cover the graphical representation of simple algebraic functions (polynomial and power functions) of a single real variable and the key features of functions and their graphs such as axis intercepts, domain (including the concept of maximal, natural or implied domain), co-domain and range, stationary points, asymptotic behaviour and symmetry. The behaviour of functions and their graphs is explored in a variety of modelling contexts and theoretical investigations.
Key skills and knowledge (outlined from the VCAA Study Design for Outcome 1)
