Unit 1 Progress Check: FRQ
Show all of your work, even though the question may not explicitly remind you to do so. Clearly label any
functions, graphs, tables, or other objects that you use. Justifications require that you give mathematical reasons,
and that you verify the needed conditions under which relevant theorems, properties, definitions, or tests are
applied. Your work will be scored on the correctness and completeness of your methods as well as your answers.
Answers without supporting work will usually not receive credit.
Unless otherwise specified, answers (numeric or algebraic) need not be simplified. If your answer is given as a
decimal approximation, it should be correct to three places after the decimal point.
Unless otherwise specified, the domain of a function is assumed to be the set of all real numbers for which
is a real number.
1. NO CALCULATOR IS ALLOWED FOR THIS QUESTION.
