Graphic Organizer

Follow the steps below in order to complete the graphic organizer. Each number is going to be in a different box.

1. Choose ONE type of function that we have gone over in class. The functions CAN NOT be the parent graphs. The options you
have to choose from are a) polynomial function b) Linear function c) quadratic equation d) cubic function or e) exponential
function. Once you have picked the type of function you want to do, type it into google and find a random function to do
numbers 2-6 with. Also, in that box explain the function, and the name of the function you gave.

2. In this box, sketch the parent graph that you think from the function. In this box, make sure to identify what the parent graph
is.

3. Find everything you need to have in order to graph the function. This will verify between each type of function. I want to see
ALL work in this box. No work equals no credit. Things that may need to be found: a) x-intercept b) y-intercept c) slope d) Axis
of symmetry e) vertex and or f) a table of points. For the graphs you choose to do, make sure you have each of the elements
labeled and worked out to help you graph in the next box.

4. Graph the function. Make sure to label all the points that are graphed and any other information you think is important.

5. In this box, write the domain and range of the function. You can write the domain and range in any format you want.

6. In this box, please give a description of how the function you chose differs from its parent graph.
