MCV4U Unit 3 Test: Curve Sketching

This document contains a unit test on curve sketching with multiple choice and free response questions. It tests students' knowledge of key concepts like critical points, inflection points, intervals of increasing/decreasing/concavity, and applying these concepts to sketch graphs of functions. It also has application questions that involve using curve sketching to solve real world problems. There are inquiry questions that ask students to sketch possible functions given certain properties. The test evaluates students on knowledge, application, inquiry, and communication of curve sketching concepts.
