2 Chapter Analysis o Graphs o Functions Deinitions: Continuous Functions:.1 Graphs o Functions A unction is called continuous on its domain i it has no tears, gaps, or holes. That is, i it can be drawn without liting your pencil when you draw it on paper. Increasing and Decreasing Functions: A unction is called increasing on an interval I i whenever in I 1 1 A unction is called decreasing on an interval I i whenever in I 1 1 y B D y C A 1 0 a 1 b c d Increasing Increasing Decreasing Constant Functions: A unction is called constant on an interval I i whenever in I (or in general, whenever ) y y 5 Symmetry o Functions: Even Functions y y A unction is called an EVEN unction i it satisies the condition or all in its domain. i.e. I the point, is on the graph o, then the point, must be also on its graph. An EVEN unction is symmetric about the y-ais
3 Section.1 Graphs o Functions Eamples o Even Functions y 0 Odd Functions y y A unction is called an ODD unction i it satisies the condition or all in its domain. i.e. I the point, is on the graph o, then the point, must be also on its graph. An ODD unction is symmetric about the origin. Eamples o Odd Functions y 0 Tests or Symmetry: Symmetry about the y-ais (even unctions): Replace with in ( ). I ( ) ( ), then the graph is symmetric about the y-ais. Symmetry about the origin (odd unctions): Replace with in ( ). I ( ) ( ), then the graph is symmetric about the origin. Symmetry about the -ais: Replace y with y in the equation. I you get the same equation, then the graph is symmetric about the -ais. Remember that graphs symmetric about the -ais are not unctions. See the eample below. -50-

8 Chapter Analysis o Graphs o Functions. Translations o Graphs In this section, translations o graphs will be discussed. We will be using a screen produced by a TI 84+ showing an original unction drawn in a thick line and some other unctions that were produced rom that original unction. We should be able to come up with a conclusion rom all o these screens. Vertical Shits The above two screens show that i ( ) is a unction and c is a positive number, then the graph o ( ) c is eactly the same as the graph o ( ) but shited down c units. The above two screens show that i ( ) is a unction and c is a positive number, then the graph o ( ) c is eactly the same as the graph o ( ) but shited up c units. Horizontal Shits The above two screens show that i ( ) is a unction and c is a positive number, then the graph o ( c) is eactly the same as the graph o ( ) but shited to the right c units. -55-

Vertical Stretching The above screens show that i ( ) is a unction and c is a positive number greater than 1 ( c 1), then the graph o [ c ( )] is eactly the same as the graph o ( ) but vertically stretched by a actor o c Vertical Shrinking The above screens show that i ( ) is a unction and c is a positive number such that 0 c 1, then the graph o [ c ( )] is eactly the same as the graph o ( ) but vertically shrunk by a actor o c. -56-
10 Chapter Analysis o Graphs o Functions Horizontal Shrinking The above screens show that i ( ) is a unction and c is a positive number greater than 1 ( c 1), then the graph o ( c) is eactly the same as the graph o ( ) but horizontally shrunk by a actor o c. Horizontal Stretching The above screens show that i ( ) is a unction and c is a positive number such that 0 c 1, then the graph o ( c) is eactly the same as the graph o ( ) but horizontally stretched by a actor o c.

16 Chapter Analysis o Graphs o Functions Absolute Value o a Function:. Absolute Equalities and Inequalities i 0 i 0 The above notation is simply saying that when the graph is zero or positive, leave it as it is. I the graph is negative then relect it about the -ais to make it positive. 4 Eample 1: Given that 0.1, use your graphing calculator to graph y. Solution: The irst screen below shows the graph o the unction (). The second screen shows both the graph o the unction in thick lines and the graph o its absolute together. The last screen shows only the graph o the absolute o the unction. Absolute Equations: i 0 i 0 Absolute value o measures the distance rom to zero. Remember that distance must be non-negative. Thereore 7 7, 1 1, 0 0, 5 5, 10 10, and so on since the distance rom any number to zero is the positive case o that number. Eample : Solve the absolute equation. Solution: The problem is simply saying that i the distance rom to zero is units, what is? We know that the distance must be non-negative. I we want to measure units rom zero, we have two ways to do so. Either we count units to the right (this case we get +) or we can count units to the let (this case we get -). This means we have two answers or, + and -. The igure below shows how we got these two answers. units units
17 Section. Absolute Equations and Inequalities To generalize the method o solving absolute equations, we have the ollowing rules: I a b c where c is a positive number ( c 0) then, a b c or a b c I a b c where c is a negative number ( c 0) then the equation has no solution I a b 0 then, a b 0 Eample : Solve the absolute equation 5.

The less than symbol also applies to this rule. -65-

The greater than symbol The igure below shows why we call the above inequality the OR case. Notice that the interval o the solution is two separate intervals. I is in the interval, then is less than -. I is in the interval, then is greater than. Since cannot be in two places at the same time, we have to say that is less than - OR is greater than. greater than units greater than units Eample 1: Solve the absolute inequality 5 Solution: First we need to apply the rule above and remove the absolute symbol by writing the absolute inequality as two separate inequalities or 5 5 Set Notation: { 8 or } Interval Notation: (-,-8] [, ) Eample 14: Solve the absolute inequality 7 8 Solution: We have to isolate the absolute epression beore removing the absolute symbol.

24 Chapter Analysis o Graphs o Functions.4 Piecewise Functions Deinition: A piecewise unction is a deined unction that consists o several unctions (i.e. The graph o a piecewise unction consists o several graphs. Each one o these graphs is also a unction). Graphs o parts o a piecewise unction usually have one or more o the ollowing: holes, sharp corners, and jumps. Eample 1: Graph the ollowing piecewise unction and evaluate it at the given values., i 0 ;,, 0 5, i 0 Solution: To graph the given piecewise unction, we need to graph each part separately. Be sure to graph each part within its deined domain. You can see that the irst part which is a parabola is deined only over the interval (,0] and the point zero is included (closed circle). The second part represents a line. The line is deined only on the interval (0, ) where point zero is ecluded (open circle). Now, press TRACE and enter the values or at which you want to evaluate the unction. 5 1, use the second unction since is in its domain only. 4, use the irst unction since - is in its domain only 0 0 0, use the irst unction since 0 is in its domain only Computer generated graph : -71-
