1 3.1 Graphs Chapter 3 - Graphs and Functions The Cartesian Coordinate System Math Spring 2009 Definition 1. Cartesian Coordinate System - (or Rectangular coordinate system) consists of two number lines in a plane drawn perpendicular to each other. x-axis - the horizontal axis is called the x-axis. y-axis - the vertical axis is called the y-axis. Origin - the point of intersection of the two axes is called the origin. On the coordinate system we will be plotting points. To describe the points in this coordinate system we use and ordered pair of numbers (x, y). The two numbers, x and y are called the x-coordinate and y-coordinate respectively. EX 1. Plot the following points on the same set of axes: A(2, 3) B(0,1) C(-5, 0) D(-2, -1) E(3,-2) Graphs Definition 2. The graph of an equation is an illustration of the set of points whose coordinates satisfy the equation. EX Determine whether the following ordered pairs are solutions of the equation y = 2x + 5. (a) (1, 3) (b) (2, 3) 2. Graph y = 2x. 1
2 3. Graph y = 1 2 x + 3. REMARK 1. For the graphs above: The above graphs are called linear because they are straight lines. Any equation whose graph is a straight line is called a linear equation. They are also called first degree equations because the highest exponent on any of the variables is Nonlinear Graphs Equations whose graphs are not straight lines are called nonlinear equations. The key to graphing nonlinear equations is to be sure to plot enough points so we can be sure of what it will look like. EX Graph y = x Graph y = 2 x. 2
3 3. Graph y = x Functions The concept of a function is one of the most important in all of mathematics. We will discuss several ways of thinking about and defining functions. But first: EX 4. Suppose you are driving your car at a constant 40 mph. between the number of hours driven with the distance travelled? Can we find a correspondence Definition 3. We have the following terminology: The set of all possible times driven is called the domain. The set of all possible distances travelled is called the range EX 5. We have the following schematic: Definition 4. A function is a correspondence between the first set of elements, the domain, and a second set of elements, the range, such that each element of the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range. EX 6. Consider the following. 1. (Blackboard) 3
4 2. (Blackboard) 3. Consider children and biological mothers. The correspondence of children to biological mothers is a function since for each child there is only one biological mother. However the correspondence between biological mothers to children is not a function, since one biological mother could have multiple children. An Alternate Definition Definition 5. A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no first coordinate is repeated. EX 7. Determine whether the following are functions: 1. {(1, 6), (2, 3), (4, 3), (5, 7)} 2. {(1, 6), (2, 3), (1, 3), (5, 7)} 4
5 3.2.1 The Vertical Line Test Most of our functions we will have a domain and range that is either the real numbers or a subset of the real numbers. For such functions we can graph them on the cartesian coordinate system. The graph of a function is the graph of its set of ordered pairs. The vertical line test: If a vertical line can be drawn through any part of the graph and the line intersects another part of the graph, the graph does not represent a function. If a vertical line cannot be drawn to intersect the graph at more than one point, the graph represents a function. Stated more simply: if, on the graph of a function, we can draw a line that intersects at more than one point, it is not a function. If we can t, it is a function. EX 8. Determine whether the following are functions: 1. Consider the following graphs: (a) (b) 2. Use the vertical line test to determine whether the following graphs represent functions. Also determine the domain and range of each function or relation. (a) (b) 3. Critical thinking: Consider the graph (drawn on blackboard) which represents the speed versus time of a student driving to school in the morning. Describe what might be occuring for this function. 5
6 3.2.2 Function Notation Many of the equations we graphed in sections 3.1 were functions. See examples 2 and 3 from section 3.1. We notice that each of them passes the vertical line test. What are the domain and range of each of them? In this class, most of the equations we will encounter will be functions. When an equation is written in terms of x and y we will frequently wrtie the equation in function notation Warning: This is NOT multiplication. EX 9. Let s consider the equation y = 2x + 1 Notice that the value of y depends on x. f(x) read as f of x If we plug in a value for x we get a value for y, different values of x give different values of x. We say that y is a function of x. In this case, we can substitute f(x) for y. This tells us what the independent variable is. It explicitly states that the value depends on x. Our function becomes f(x) = 2x + 1 We will use both notations interchangeably. REMARK 2. We don t always us the letter f. Sometimes we use different letters for both our function and our independent variable. For example g(x), h(x), P (t), etc... EX 10. We also will evaluate functions with this notation. 1. If f(x) = 3x 2 5x + 1 find (a) f(4) (b) f(a) 2. Determine each function value: (a) g( 3) for g(t) = 1 t+4 (b) h(6) for h(x) = 2 x An application: The Celsius temperature, C, is a function of the Fahrenheit temperature, F. C(F ) = 5 (F 32) 9 Determine the Celsius temperature that corresponds to 131 F 6
7 3.3 Linear Functions Graph Linear Functions A linear function is a function of the form f(x) = ax + b The graph of a linear function is a straight line. Also, for linear functions, the domain is the set of all real numbers R. Recall: When graphing y = f(x). EX 11. Graph f(x) = 1 2 x Intercepts and Standard Form The standard form of a linear equation is ax + by = c where a, b, and c are real numbers and a and b are not both 0. In this form it is frequently easier to graph the equation using the intercepts. The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x. EX Graph 3x = 6y + 12 using the x- and y-intercepts. 2. Graph f(x) = 1 2x + 2 using the x- and y-intercepts. 7
8 3. Graph 2x + y = Vertical and Horizontal Lines Horizontal Lines Any equation of the form y = b will always be a horizontal line. EX 13. Graph the equation y = 4 (or written f(x) = 4) Vertical Lines Any equation of the form x = a will always be a vertical line. EX 14. Graph the equation x = 4 8
9 3.3.4 An Application EX 15. Suppose a store owner sells widgets for $30 each. If her monthly expenses are $3,000, answer the following: 1. Construct a function that relates the number of widgets sold to the profits. 2. How many widgets must she sell to break even? 3. Graph the profit function. 9
10 3.4 Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation Our goal in this section will be to completely describe a line using two numbers which reveal certain characteristics of the line. The characteristics we will use are the y-intercept and the slope Understand Translations Consider the graph of the function y = 1 2x. What happens if we add 2 to the right hand side? How about if I subract 2? Let s graph the following functions on the same coordinate system. y = 1 2 x + 2 y = 1 2 x y = 1 2 x 2 What are the y-intercepts? Each line is parallel to the other, but the new lines are shifted, or translated, up or down by two Slope As was mentioned we wish to describe lines using two numerical characteristics. One of those is the slope. Definition 6. The slope of a line is the ration of the vertical change (or rise) to the horizontal change (or run). slope = EX 16. We examine how to find slope: vertical change horizontal change = rise run 1. Look at the graphs from the previous example, find the slope of the lines. y = 1 2 x + 2 y = 1 2 x y = 1 2 x 2 10
11 2. Graph the equations y = 2x and and y = 2 3x and find their slopes. The slope of the line through the distinct points (x 1, y 1 ) and (x 2, y 2 ) is slope = change in y change in x = y 2 y 1 x 2 x 1 provided that x 1 x 2. We usually use the lowercase letter m to denote the slope. EX 17. Calculate the slope for the following lines: (a) (b) (c) REMARK 3. From the example we notice the following: Lines with positive slope increase as we go from left to right. Lines with negative slope decrease as we go from left to right. Any horizontal line has zero slope. What would the slope of a vertical line be? Slope-Intercept Form The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and (0, b) is the y-intercept of the line. To write an equation in slope-intercept form, solve the equation for y. EX
12 1. Consider the equation y = 2 3x + 2 and determine the slope and y-intercept. 2. Write the equation 3x + 4y = 8 in slope-intercept form and determine the slope and y- intercept Graphing Linear Equations Using Slope and y-intercept EX 19. Graph the following equations using the slope and y-intercept: 1. 2x + 4y = 8 2. f(x) = 2 3 x Point-Slope Form of a Linear Equation We investigate one more method of expressing a linear equation. For this, we take the perspective that we know a point on the line and we know the slope, how can we write an equation for the line? Point-Slope Form The point-slope form of a linear equation is y y 1 = m(x x + 1) where m is the slope of the line and (x 1, y 1 ) is a point on the line. EX
13 1. Write the equation of the line with slope 4 and passing through the point ( 2, 5). 2. Write, in slope-intercept form, the equation of the line that passes through the points (1, 5) and (3, 9) Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Definition 7. - Two lines are parallel when they have the same slope. Two lines are perpendicular when their slopes are negative reciprocals. REMARK 4. For any number a, its negative reciprocal is 1 a or 1 a. EX 21. Some problems involving parallel and perpindicular lines. 1. Suppose (0, 3) and (3, 0) are two points on line 1 also (7, 4) and (9, 2) are points one line 2. Determine whether line 1 and line 2 are perpendicular or parallel. 2. Consider the equation 3x + y = 7. Find an equation of a line that has y-intercept of 4 and is (a) parallel to the given line and (b) perpendicular to the given line. 3. Consider the equation 3y = 2x + 8 (a) Determine an equation of a line that passes through (6, 1) that is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation. Write the equation in standard form. (b) Write the equation from (a) using function notation. 13
14 3.6 The Algebra of Functions There are several ways in which we can combine functions to get new functions. We examine a few. Warning: We introduce some new notation, the actual mathematics is pretty straightforward but you must keep the notation clear. Operations on Functions If f(x) represents one function, g(x) represents a second function, and x is in the domain of both functions, then we have the following operations: Sum of Functions: (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) Difference of Functions: (f g)(x) = f(x) g(x) Product of Functions: (f g)(x) = f(x) g(x) Quotient of Functions: (f/g)(x) = f(x) g(x), provided g(x) 0 EX 22. Evaluate the following: 1. If f(x) = x 2 x + 3 and g(x) = x + 2 (a) (f + g)(x) (b) (f g)(x) (c) (g f)(x) 2. If f(x) = x 2 16 and g(x) = x 4 (a) (f + g)(3) (b) (f g)(5) (c) (g/f)(10) 3.7 Graphing Linear Inequalities First a brief review: Recall that when we graph an equation in two variables, we are marking on the Cartesian Coordinate system all points which satisfy the equation: EX 23. Graph the equation, 2x + 4y = 8. We notice that any pair of numbers, (x, y) that satisfies the equation falls on the line. important idea is we are graphically indicating which points satisfy the equation. The 14
15 3.7.1 Graph Linear Inequalities in Two Variables A linear inequality is what results when the equal sign in a linear equation is replaced by an inequality sign. EX 24. The following are example of linear inequalities: 1. (a) 2x + 4y < 8 (b) 2x + 4y > 8 2. (a) y x 1 (b) y x 1 Our goal will be two graph all points which satisfy the inequality. How can we do this? For this notice that when we graph a linear equation it splits the plane into three regions: the two sides of the line, and the line itself. Steps to graphing linear inequalities 1. Replace the inequality with an equal sign. 2. Draw the graph of the equation from step 1. (a) If the original inequality contains or, draw a solid line. (b) If the original inequality contains < or >, draw a dashed line. 3. Select any point not on the line drawn in step 2 and check whether the chosen point solves the original inequality: (a) If it does, shade the side of the line containing the point (b) If it does not, shade the side of the line not containing the point. EX 25. Graph the following linear inequalities: 1. 2x + 4y < 8 2. y x 1 15
16 3. y 1 4 x 16
