standard_description: Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output. (Function notation is not required in Grade 8.)

Problem 2
A quadratic equation is
decreasing over the interval
$${-\infty < x < 3}$$
increasing over the interval
$${3 < x < \infty}$$
and has a rate of change of zero at
$${x=3}$$
.
Describe how each of the three graphs below fit this description.
