features of the graph (domain/range,
intercepts, asymptotes,
increasing/decreasing intervals,
positive/negative intervals, relative
maxima/ minima, symmetries, end
behavior)
Use function notation to evaluate
functions and interpret statements in a
context

Reflection
1.

Create Knowledge Cards for the following function operations: addition and subtraction; multiplication;division;
composition; and inverse.
Side 1: Write the function operation and a symbol, sketch, or phrase that represents the function operation (to help you remember it)
Side 2: Explain the function operation in detail. Include characteristics of the operation; how the operation is performed; effect of the
operation on the symbolic form, the graph, and data in a table; and symbols used to describe the operation. Be sure to include an
example.

2.

Give two examples of how the activities in this unit answer the Essential Question and explain your selections.
