Functions

Virginia SOL A2.F.1

Investigate, analyze, and compare square root, cube root, rational, exponential, and logarithmic function families using transformations.

What students need to be able to do

  • Distinguish between the graphs of parent functions for square root, cube root, rational, exponential, and logarithmic function families.
  • Write the equation of a square root, cube root, rational, exponential, or logarithmic function, given a graph, using transformations of the parent function.
  • Graph a square root, cube root, rational, exponential, or logarithmic function, given the equation, using transformations of the parent function.
  • Determine when two variables are directly proportional, inversely proportional, or neither, given a table of values.
  • Compare and contrast the graphs, tables, and equations of square root, cube root, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
