  3. Sketch the square and absolute value graphs together and compare them.
  4. Find the left end of a limited domain from the given range.
  5. Explain what is true when two different inputs give the same square output.
  6. Explain what is wrong with Ryan's claim that the square graph falls across a stretch of inputs.
