Study Notes

Graph Function Characteristics

  • A graph that forms a circle intersects all four quadrants; it does not represent a function due to the vertical line test.
  • A cubic function f(x)=2x^3+2x^2-x is classified as one-to-many, meaning each input can produce multiple outputs.

Greatest Integer Function

  • The greatest integer function defines its output as the largest integer less than or equal to x.
  • This function is represented visually with steps, typically marked with closed (included) and open (excluded) dots.

Function Characteristics from Graphs

  • A graph featuring an open dot at (2,10) and a closed dot at (2,5) indicates piecewise functions, specifically:
    • Y={x^3-3 for x < 2
    • Y=2 for x ≥ 2

Evaluating Piecewise Functions

  • For the function f(x)={-x+1 for x < 0, x for x ≥ 0:
    • Calculating specific values gives:
      • f(1)=0 as x is greater or equal to 0
      • f(-1)=2 as x is less than 0

Identifying Graph Types

  • The equation that corresponds to the greatest integer function is Y=[X]-2, indicating a downward shift of the basic step function.
  • Another piecewise function Y={X^2+4 for x < 2, Y=2 for x ≥ 2 includes parabolic growth and a horizontal line.

Absolute Value Functions

  • A graph showing coordinates (-6,-4) corresponds to the equation Y=|X+3|-4, illustrating a transformation of the basic absolute value function.
