Performance Task Preview

You can use the concepts and skills

in the chapter to perform various

calculations on data collected in a

university lab. Understanding

inverses and radical functions will

help you finish the Performance

Task at the end of the chapter.

In this Performance Task

you will:

• make sense of problems and

persevere in solving them

• reason abstractly and quantitatively

• attend to precision
