TASK #1

Choice A -

Choice B -

Choice C -

Choice D -

Choice E -

Requirements:

*a should never equal 0

*h and k can’t both be 0

*b, c, and d can’t all be 0

*Can’t duplicate any values

1)Select 4 of the 5 graph choices to the left.

2)Fill in values/numbers for the generic equations, replacing variables a, h, and k or a, b, c, and das necessary,to create actual equations that can be graphed. You may use your calculator to help. Write this equation at the top of the graph page you use.

Recommendation - use small #s  (keep between -5 and 5)

3)Graph each of the 4 chosen graphs A - E, one on each of thegraphs provided, #1 - 4. You may use your calculator to help.

Requirements:

*Be sure that part of the graph drawn on its selected graph paper is actually located in the shaded region on the graph you choose. If not, select a different graph paper #1-4 or select different values/numbers for your equation. You may graph any of the equation choices on any of the graph papers.

*You must graph the entire function on the given graph paper for the domain if the range is also between. A domain interval of at least 15 units wide must be present on the graph.

4)Answer the questions below Graphs #1-4 in the spaces provided.

TASK #2

1) Take each shaded region (covering a domain interval of 5 units) of graphs 1-4 and graph ONLY that region from that graph onto Graph #5. (You should have a funky looking graph.) Be careful on the endpoints of your graph segment that you either graph a closed dot if including that value or an open dot if you are not including that value – see the domain intervals listed on the bottom of Graph #5 for help!

2)Fill in the information and answer the questions following the graph.
