a. Sketch a graph of the function using the blue pen tool on the canvas below. b. Graph the function using the embedded Desmos graphing calculator above.c. Sketch a new (more accurate?) graph of the function in red on the same plane as your blue sketch.
It is okay if your blue and red graphs overlap.As always, label the axes and indicate thier scale by marking at least one value on each axis.
