Consider the function $y=\log_2x$y=log2x.

a

Complete the table of values for $y=\log_2x$y=log2x.

$x$x $\frac{1}{4}$14 $\frac{1}{2}$12 $1$1 $2$2 $4$4
$y$y $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$ $\editable{}$
b

The first two points in the table of values are shown below. Plot the other three points on the same coordinate plane.

Outcomes

M3.N.Q.A.1

Use units as a way to understand real-world problems.*

M3.F.IF.B.3

For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship.*

M3.F.IF.B.4

Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented algebraically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate and interpret the rate of change from a graph. *

M3.F.IF.C.5

Graph functions expressed algebraically and show key features of the graph by hand and using technology.*

M3.F.IF.C.6

Compare properties of functions represented algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions.*

M3.F.IF.C.6.A

Compare properties of two different functions. Functions may be of different types and/or represented in different ways.

M3.F.IF.C.6.B

Compare properties of the same function on two different intervals or represented in two different ways.

M3.MP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

M3.MP2

Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

M3.MP3

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

M3.MP4

Model with mathematics.

M3.MP5

Use appropriate tools strategically.

M3.MP6

Attend to precision.

M3.MP7

Look for and make use of structure.
