standard_description: 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. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.
problem_activity: Task
Let $P = (0,1)$ and $Q = (1,2)$ in the $(x,y)$ plane.
Show that there is a unique linear function described by the equation $y = mx + b$ whose graph contains $P$ and $Q$: find $m$ and $b$.
Show that there is a unique exponential function described by the equation $y = ab^x$ whose graph contains $P$ and $Q$: find $a$ and $b$.
Show that there is more than one quadratic function described by the equation $y = ax^2 + bx
+c$ whose graph contains $P$ and $Q$.
