In this course, you will learn shortcuts that allow you to sketch many different types of graphs quickly and accurately.
However, when the directions ask you to graph an equation or to draw a graph, this means it is NOT JUST A SKETCH you
should do quickly. You need to:
Use graph paper.
Scale your axes appropriately.
Label key points (such as intercepts, vertex).
Plot points accurately.
On separate sets of axes, graph each of the following equations. If you do not remember any shortcuts for graphing, you can
always make an x y table.

Part 2: Transformations of functions

All functions follow rules that dictate how the graph moves around the coordinate plane which are known as

I. Guided Practice: For each parent function write the equation of the transformed function.

1) = ! is translated down 2 units and left 4 units. __________________

!
2) = is translated 3 units up and right 5 units. __________________
!

II. Use your knowledge of parent functions and transformations to

sketch a graph.

3) = ( 4)!
