An apartment
building contains 12
units consisting of
one- and twobedroom
apartments
that rent for $360
and $450 per month,
respectively. When
all units are rented,
the total monthly
rental is $4,950.
What is the number
of two-bedroom
apartments?

terminology and notation of functions.
2.2 The student will perform a variety of
operations and geometrical transformations on
functions.
2.4 The student will describe or graph notable
features of a function using standard
mathematical terminology and appropriate
technology.

Some issues with technology.
It is specified that linear models
should be able to be done
without calculators, but not
elsewhere.

2.1.2 Assessment Limits
Essential characteristics of a
polynomial function include
degree, intercepts, end
behavior, and symmetry of even
or odd power functions.
2.1.2 Assessment Limits
Rational functions should have
denominators that are linear
quadratic
sum and/or difference of two
cubes in factored form.
