Amber Andujo - Graphing Activity PDF

This document provides instructions for a graphing activity in Desmos using functions. Students are asked to: 1) Create their own shape, name, or picture using at least 3 of the 5 function families listed - linear, absolute value, exponential, quadratic, and square root. 2) Functions may be transformed through stretching, shifting vertically or horizontally, or reflecting over the x-axis. 3) Additional points are awarded for including more functions or restricting the domain or range of functions. 4) Students must sketch their design and will be graded based on recognizability, inclusion of required functions, and use of correct notation for restricting functions.

Algebra 1 – Graphing Activity


Task: Create design/image/word in Desmos using at least 3 of the 5 different function families.
Function Families to Be Included:
Linear: 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏 Absolute Value: Exponential:
𝑦 = 𝑎 |𝑥 − ℎ | + 𝑘 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑏)𝑥 + 𝑘
Parent: 𝑦 = 𝑥
Parent: 𝑦 = |𝑥 | Parent: 𝑦 = (? )𝑥
‘?’ is any real number

Quadratic: Square Root: Do not forget transformation(s)


2 for each function!
𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ) + 𝑘 𝑦 = 𝑎√𝑥 − ℎ + 𝑘
You might consider…
Parent: 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 Parent: 𝑦 = √𝑥 o Vertical stretch/compress
o Vertical shift (up/down)
o Horizontal shift (left/right)
o Reflect over x-axis

Other Formulas (Shapes) you may To include only part of a function…. (Restricting
consider: domain/range)

Circle: 𝑟 2 = (𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2 with {start (left x-value) < x < stop (right x-value)}
center (h,k) and radius r.
Example: {6 < x < 12} – graph will start at x = 6 and
Vertical Line: x = h continue to the right to x = 12.

Horizontal Line: y = k {start (bottom y-value) < y < stop (top y-value)}

Example: {3 < y < 8} – graph will start at y = 3 and


continue up to y = 8.

Requirements:
❖ Create your own shape/name/picture on Desmos using the functions above (3 of 5).
❖ You MAY use Google to get ideas, but the final product must be your OWN work.
