This Credit Unit will focus specifically on linear functions, and you will find that some of it is familiar. We will use the symbolic and graphical forms of linear functions to identify slope, intercepts and other characteristics of linear functions. Applications will be emphasized! You will need to understand the components of a linear function and how they relate to real world applications and identify the correct units of measure for the parts of linear functions. You will fit linear functions to real world data both by hand and with technology and learn to identify when it is appropriate to use linear regression to make predictions. Absolute value functions are a type of linear functions. We will cover how to identify and graph absolute value functions and solve absolute value equations and inequalities.
