• Determine key features of functions, such as domain, range, asymptotes, and intercepts
• Graph linear, absolute value, piecewise, radical, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions
• Find an equation of a function from its graph
• Find the inverse of a one-to-one function
• Apply the properties and laws of logarithms
• Interpret and analyze linear and non-linear data to develop appropriate models
