Grade 10 - Graphs of Power Functions

Graphs of Power Function

Grade 10

lesson Objectives

By the end of the lesson, you should be able to;

• Identify the graphs of power functions in the form of y = axn for values of n=0,1,2,3,-1,-2
• Sketch the graphs of power functions.
• Describe the graphs of power functions.

Check that you have achieved the above at the end of the lesson.

Explore using Desmos

Instructions:

• Copy and complete the table shown on the side.
• For each graph, plot it in desmos to see its appearance.
• Sketch the graph in your book.
• describe what the graph looks like. For the description, you can use the following hints:

the graph is a straight line through the origin, the graph exists in the first, second, third, and fouth quadrants. the graph is symmetrical.

Practice quiz.

Using your device, join the kahoot using the game pin on the side for a formative assessment.
