Transcribed Image Text:### Function Analysis Task
1. **Given the function: \( y = f(x) = \frac{10x^2}{1 + x^2} \)**
(a) **Use the input values:**
\( x = 0, \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 7 \)
to complete the table and sketch the graph.
| \( x \) | \( y \) |
|------- |--------|
| 0 | |
| 1 | |
| -1 | |
| 2 | |
| -2 | |
| 3 | |
| -3 | |
| 7 | |
| -7 | |
**Explanation of the graph:**
The graph contains a Cartesian coordinate system with a grid. The X-axis and Y-axis are drawn as thick lines originating from the center and extending outward. You're expected to plot the values from the table onto this graph.
(b) **Use your graph in part (a) to determine the domain and range of the function.**
(c) **Identify the type of symmetry the function has.**
(d) **Write on your graph where the function increases/decreases.**
(e) **Use your graph to identify the horizontal asymptote/end behavior of the function.**
### Instructions for Students:
1. **Completing the Table:**
- Calculate \( y \) for each given \( x \) by substituting \( x \) into the function \( y = \frac{10x^2}{1 + x^2} \).
- Fill in the table based on your calculations.
2. **Graphing the Function:**
- Plot each \((x, y)\) pair from the table onto the provided graph.
- Draw the curve that represents the function based on these points.
3. **Analyzing the Graph:**
- From the graph, determine the domain (all possible \( x \)-values) and range (all possible \( y \)-values) of the function.
- Identify symmetry by observing if the graph is mirrored across any axis or point (e.g., symmetric around \( y \)-axis for even functions).
- Note where the function is increasing (
