3.4.2. Graph piecewise-defined functions.
3.5.1. Graph functions using vertical or horizontal shifts of basic functions from the Library of Functions. Describe the horizontal or vertical shift(s).
3.5.2. Graph functions using compressions or stretches of basic functions from the Library of Functions. Describe the compression or stretch.
3.5.3. Graph functions using reflections of basic functions from the Library of Functions. Describe the reflection.
3.5.4. Graph functions using combinations of shifts, compressions and stretches, and reflections of basic functions from the Library of Functions. Describe the transformation(s).
