Identify the effect on the graph of replacing $f(x)$ by $f(x) + k$, $k \cdot f(x)$, $f (kx)$, and $f(x + k)$ for specific values of $k$ (both positive and negative); find the value of $k$ given the graphs. Experiment with cases and explain the effects on the graph, using technology as appropriate. Extend from linear to quadratic, exponential, absolute value, and linear \piecewise functions.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Graphing techniques of functions,
  • Methods of using technology to graph functions.
  • Techniques to identify even and odd functions both algebraically and from a graph.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Accurately graph functions.
  • Check conjectures about how a parameter change in a function changes the graph and critique the reasoning of others about such shifts.
  • Identify shifts, stretches, or reflections between graphs.
  • Determine when a function is even or odd.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Graphs of functions may be shifted, stretched, or reflected by adding or multiplying the input or output of a function by a constant value.
  • Even and odd functions may be identified from a graph or algebraic form of a function.

Vocabulary

  • Even and odd functions
  • Composite functions
  • Horizontal and vertical shifts
  • Horizontal and vertical stretch
  • Reflections
  • Translations
