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
