What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students graph cube-root, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions in Algebra II. They show intercepts and end behavior, and for sine, cosine, and tangent they identify period, midline, and amplitude when applicable.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student uses correct anchor points and domain behavior for each family. Trigonometric graphs show the proper cycle and midline, while exponential and logarithmic graphs show intercepts and asymptotic behavior.

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat inverse-looking families as reflections without checking, confuse asymptotes with intercepts, or assign tangent an amplitude. They may mix radians, degrees, and period scales.

How to Assess It

Ask students to graph one logarithmic function and one transformed cosine function, labeling intercepts, end behavior, period, midline, and amplitude where applicable.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Place anchor-point and feature cards on blank cube-root, exponential, logarithmic, sine, cosine, and tangent axes.

  2. Ask students which listed features apply to tangent and why amplitude does not.

  3. Play family feature match with equations, graphs, intercepts, end behavior, period, midline, and amplitude.

  4. Model sound, tides, pH, or population with a fitting Algebra II function family and graph.
