There are many ways to go about solving math problems. To solve this problem, you will be required

to do some work that will not be included in the discussion point.

·

First, graph your functions so that you can clearly describe the graphs in your post. Your

graph itself is not required in your post, although a discussion of the graph is required. Make

su

re you have at least five points for each equation to graph. Show all math work for finding

the points.

·

Mention any key points on the graphs, including intercepts, vertex, or start/end points. Points

with decimal values need not be listed, as they might be

found in a square root function.

Stick to integer value points

.

·

Discuss the general shape and location of each of your graphs.

·

State the domain and range for each of your equations. Write them in interval notation.

·

State whether each of the equations is a

function or not giving your reasons for the answer.

·

Select one of your graphs and assume it has been shifted three units upward and four units

to the left. Discuss how this transformation affects the equation by rewriting the equation to

incorporate those

numbers.

·

Incorporate the following five math vocabulary words into your discussion.

Use

bold

font to

emphasize the words in your writing.

Do not write definitions for the words; use them

appropriately in sentences describing the thought behind your math w

ork.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from

required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
