A timed sectional mock on this unit

Rates of change, polynomial functions and their zeros, end behaviour, rational functions with their asymptotes and holes, and transformations.

Key formula
average rate of change=f(b)−f(a)b−a\text{average rate of change} = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

What this unit covers

  • Average rates of change

  • Zeros and end behaviour of polynomials

  • Asymptotes and holes of rational functions

  • Transformations and function models
