graphing and standard forms.

b. Identify the coordinates of the vertex
c. Graph the function on graph paper

6) Amber is working with the function machines 𝑔(𝑥) = √𝑥 − 5 and ℎ(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 6. She
stacks the function machines so that the output of the first machine becomes the input
of the second machine.
a. If her beginning input is 6, what order must the machines be in so that the final
output is 5?
b. If her beginning input is 6, is it possible for her to get a final output of −5?
Explain your reasoning.

7) Solve the following equations:

a. 4(𝑥 − 1) − 2(3𝑥 + 5) = −3𝑥 − 1

a. (5𝑚 − 1)(𝑚 + 2)
b. (6 − 𝑥)(2 + 𝑥)
c. (5𝑥 − 𝑦)2
d. 3𝑥(2𝑥 − 5𝑦 + 4)
9) Ryan says it’s possible to draw different functions that all have the same x-intercepts,
domain, and range. His teammates disagree but Ryan insists it is possible if they just
sketch graphs. Help his group explore this situation:
a. What if the x-intercepts are (−5, 0), (2, 0), 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (6,0), the domain is −5 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 7,
and the range is −4 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 10.
i. Is more than 1 function possible? Explain your answer and sketch
examples to support your answer.
b. What if the x-intercepts are (−4, 0) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (2, 0), the domain is all real numbers,
and the range is 𝑦 ≥ −8.
i. Is more than 1 function possible? Explain your answer and sketch
examples to support your answer.

b. Draw and label a graph to model this situation
c. Write an equation to model this situation
