options: 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.

Understand the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms and use this relationship to solve problems involving logarithms and exponents.

Find inverse functions.
problem_activity: Activity
Continuing the thinking from the warm-up, students now compare three functions whose graphs are vertical translations from one another and generalize their observations of the graphs and data tables into equations where one function is defined in terms of another.
Monitor for students making connections between representations as they write an equation for
\(g(x)\)
in terms of
\(h(x)\)
. For example, students may:
compare the graphs of
\(g\)
and
\(h\)
, perhaps sketching them on the same axes and then measuring the vertical distance between them
calculate the difference between the outputs from the table
combine the equation they wrote for
\(g(x)\)
in terms of
\(f(x)\)
and
\(h(x)=f(x)-2.5\)
to rewrite
\(g(x)\)
in terms of
\(h(x)\)
Launch
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts. Check in with students after the first 2–3 minutes of work time to look for students who notice the constant difference between the outputs of
\(f(x)\)
and
\(g(x)\)
. Check to make sure that students are filling out the
\(g(x)\)
column of the table correctly.

Activity Synthesis
A key takeaway from this discussion is that students understand that a vertical translation from one graph to another corresponds to constant differences between the outputs of the functions for the same input. We can then generalize these point by point comparisons using function notation, where adding or subtracting from the output of the function resulting in a vertical translation of its graph.
Select previously identified students to share the connections they made between the representations in the order listed in the Activity Narrative. If time allows and no students used the equations for
\(g(x)\)
and
\(h(x)\)
in terms of
\(f(x)\)
to write a new equation for
\(g(x)\)
in terms of
\(h(x)\)
, invite them to do so now.
