Vertical and Horizontal Translations
Eleventh graders study seven functions. They use their handheld calculator to determine which family of functions the equation belongs, the parent function described, and they calculate the vertical and horizontal translation.
Curated OER
Calculus
Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.
