Due Tuesday, January 5
This is your introduction to Transformations of Parent Functions, a really fun topic, once you get the hang of it.

DO THE INVESTIGATION!!! The investigations are often easy to skim or skip but DO NOT THAT THIS TIME! THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT! The teacher's edition has answers if you get stuck. This topic is amazing with graphing calculators. You can enter an equation, see the graph, do it again, see the pattern, and learn the rule in a few minutes. Most of us learned this with pencil and paper, imagine doing that!

section 8.2 problems
  • 1 (the answer to 1d is an equation, not a number: substitute then simplify)
    • New instructions: what is the equation for the graph. 
    • Use your graphing calculator to graph the equation to verify that you are correct. Set the Window to Zoom Standard.
      • Obviously I can not check that you graphed the equation but please do. This is the connection between equation and graph. You ABSOLUTELY need to 'see' these things to do them, so graph them to see them.
  • 4 (shift left, right, up, down, and how much: for example, the parent function is shifted 3 units left and 4 units down)
  • 5
  • 7
To be completed if you finish everything before the end of class:
  • 2 (same as problem 3 above)
