Finding the
general form,
the parent
function, and
domain/range.

Correctly
identified the
general form
and the parent
function.
Domain and
range is
correct and
written in
correct
notation.

Incorrectly
identified at
least 2 of the
following:
General
form
Parent
function
Domain
Range

Intervals of
increase/decre
ase and
positive/negati
ve.

Correctly
identified
intervals of
increase/decre
ase and where
the graph is
positive/negati
ve. All parts of
the questions
are answered.
Intervals are
correctly
labeled and
written in
correct
notation.

Correctly
identified the
general form
and the
parent
function.
Domain and
range is
correct, but
not written in
mathematical
notation.
