Exit Slip

We can compare and contrast two functions in many ways, but I chose to compare and contrast my two functions by creating a graph. The two expressions I used were 2X^4 and -2X^4. Then I created a spreadsheet, which helped me a lot. In the spreadsheet one column was (X), the next one was Y1 and then Y2. The great thing about the spreadsheet was that when you went to a column all you had to do was drag the first number in the cell all the way down and the numbers were calculated for you. When that was done I had to graph my numbers, which was easy to do. After graphing the two functions I realzied that function y1 and y2 was a reflection of one another. Once the numbers were graphed I labeled my graph. I put the title, and labeled the x and y axis. I also had to change y1 and y2 to its functions. For example, for y1 I put 2*A2^4 and for y2 I put -2*A2^4. Once I plugged in those functions I then had to create a table on Google Docs. The table had the two functions, the highest , lowest, and constant term for each as well. For example, like for function y1 for the hghest term I put 2x^4 and then for y2 I put -2x^4. The next degree term and contant degree term was 0 for each functions.
In essence, by looking at my graph and table you can compare and contrast the two functions.
