 Graphing a Function
https://www.desmos.com/calculator

Using Desmos, graph the different parent functions. Screenshot your

graph and paste it down below. (1 point each)

1. f(x) = x

2. f(x) = 𝑥 2

3. f(x) = 𝑥 3

4. f(x) = √𝑥

5. f(x) = 1/𝑥

6. f(x) = |𝑥|

7. f(x) = 𝑙𝑛(𝑥)

8. f(x) = 𝑒 𝑥

 Transformation of a function
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra2/x2ec2f6f830c9fb89:transformations

1. Using the variable k, how do we show

we shifted the graph of f(x) = x, k
times? 1 pt

2. How do we show we reflected the

graph of f(x) = √𝑥 over the x-axis?
1 pt

3. What is the difference between an

even function and an odd function?
Explain using graphs. 2 pts

4. Describe what happens to the graph

of the function f(x) = 𝑥 2 when it is
multiplied by a constant greater than 1
and by a constant that is between 0
and 1.. 2 pts

5. Using the parent function f(x) = 𝑥 3 ,

create a function where the parent
function is shifted up 3 units and is
reflected over the y-axis. 3 pts

6. Using the parent function f(x) = 𝑥 2 ,

create a function where the parent
function is shifted down 5 units and is
half the graph. 3 pts

7. Describe in words what

transformations is being done in the
1 4 pts
function f(x) = − 𝑥 3 + 10 .
