can help prepare you for Precalculus and allow you to compare and contrast between functions. You will create a scrapbook of parent functions and "children". You can use any resources you want to research these functions (e.g., textbook, class notes, internet, other students, teachers) There are functions here that we may not have taught. Do your best to explore them. You do have enough experience with other functions to do this! On each page you should clearly show: A. The graph and formula for the parent function. For each parent function, provide a brief "anecdote" or "interesting fact." B. The graph and formula for the function shifted vertically. C. The graph and formula for the function shifted horizontally.

OTHER APPLICATION Attitude Change Social psychologist have found that as the discrepancy between the view of a speaker and those of an audience increase to a point but decrease when the discrepancy becomes too large particular if the communicator is viewed by the audience as having low credibility, Suppose that the degree of change can be approximated by the function D(x)=x4+8x3+80x2 Where x is the discrepancy between the view of the speaker and those of the audience as measure by score on a question-naira. Find the amount of discrepancy the speaker should aim for to maximize the attitude change in the audience. Source: Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
LIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS APPLY IT Splenic Artery Resistance Blood flow to the fetal spleen is of research interest because several diseases are associated with increased resistance in the splenic artery the artery that goes to the spleen. Researchers have found that the index of splenic artery resistance in the fetus can be described by the function y=0.057x0.001x2, where x is the number of weeks of gestation. Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. a. At how many weeks is the splenic artery resistance a maximum? b. What is the maximum splenic artery resistance? c. At how many weeks is the splenic artery resistance equal to 0, according to this formula? Is your answer reasonable for this function? Explain.
How do you find the value of a function?
