M.A18.20
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). (e.g., Given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.)
Example Problems
Function A is defined by the equation:
