Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases. Functions include linear, quadratic, exponential, polynomial, logarithmic, rational, sine, cosine, tangent, square root, cube root and piecewise-defined functions.
