Algebra II: Attributes of functions and their inverses. The student applies mathematical processes to understand that functions have distinct key attributes and understand the relationship between a function and its inverse.

Graph the functions f(x)=√x, f(x)=1/x, f(x)=x^3, f(x)=cube root of x, f(x)=b^x, f(x)=|x|, and f(x)=log base b of (x) where b is 2, 10, and e, and, when applicable, analyze the key attributes such as domain, range, intercepts, symmetries, asymptotic behavior, and maximum and minimum given an interval.
Graph and write the inverse of a function using notation such as f ^-1 (x).
Describe and analyze the relationship between a function and its inverse (quadratic and square root, logarithmic and exponential), including the restriction(s) on domain, which will restrict its range.
