Sections
Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. On the Home tab under Slides, click Section, and then click Add Section.
Notes
Use the Notes pane for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. You can see these notes in Presenter View during your presentation.
Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production)
Coordinated colors
Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes.
Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale.
Graphics, tables, and graphs
Keep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors.
Label all graphs and tables.

5. Common Core Standards
4. Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.
7. Analyze functions using different representations.

6. What is a Power Function?
A power function is a function of the form where n is a non-negative integer.

7. Patterns in Power Functions Textbook page 335
Odd degree functions point up and down. Even degree functions point up only. The greater the degree of the function, the more flat the graph is near the origin.
Power functions raised to an odd degree moves up from left to right, flattening near the origin, depending on the power.
Power functions raised up to an even degree concave up parabola, flattening near the origin, depending on the power.

9. What is End Behavior?
The end behavior of a graph of a function is the behavior of the graph as x
Approaches infinity and as x approaches negative infinity.

10. To describe the end behavior of any polynomial function (textbook page 337)

11. Symmetry About a Line Symmetry About a Point
If a graph is symmetric about a line, the line divides the graph into two identical parts. When the line of symmetry is the y-axis then the function is even
A function is symmetric about a point if each point on the graph has a point the same distance from the central point, but in the opposite direction. Special attention is given when the central point is the origin as it determines that the function is odd.

12. Textbook page 342 Analyze the graph:
Who is right: Olivia, Randall or Shedrick?

13. Think about point of symmetry about the origin as a double reflection:

14. Textbook page 344

15. How to determine if the function is even or odd algebraically?
An even function has a graph symmetric about the y-axis, thus:
An odd function has a graph symmetric about the
origin, thus:

16. Determine whether the functions are even, odd, or neither: (textbook page 346)
