LAC 28:CXLII.3113. Building Functions

A. Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities. 1. Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities. a. Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. B. Build new functions from existing functions. 1. Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k 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 illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology; and include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them. 2. Find inverse functions. Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse. Write an expression for the inverse.
