Study Notes

Function Definitions and Graphs

  • Functions produce one output (y-value) for each unique input (x-value)
  • A vertical line drawn on a graph of a function must cross the graph at only one point. If the vertical line crosses the graph at more than one point, it is not a function

Mayda's Solution: Substituting Values

  • Substituting values for 'x' in a function equation produces only one corresponding 'y' value, indicating a function

Function Notation and Graph Relationships

  • Function notation (e.g., f(x)) links input (x) to output (y)
  • f(2).g(2) compares output values of two different functions at the same input, useful for visualizing the graph relationship

Representing Situations with Function Models

  • Function models can analyze relationships between variables (e.g., family pizza game)

Using Algebraic Expressions in Functions

  • Substituting values into function expressions determines function output and graph location

Modeling Arches with Functions

  • Parabolic arches can be modeled mathematically to understand their shape and positions (Bluewater Bridge example)

Linear Function Conversions

  • Functions represent linear transformations of data and can change data range

Function Properties and Values

  • Functions possess specific properties, such as specified domains (e.g., natural numbers) and relationships (e.g., f(x+1) rule)

Graphing Functions (x, x^2, √x, 1/x, |x|)

  • Various function types (linear, quadratic, square root, reciprocal, absolute value) have distinct graphs and characteristics, visualized with graphing calculators for domain, range, and further study
  • Reciprocal and absolute value functions have specific features and shapes

Asymptotes and Function Behavior

  • Asymptotes are lines that a graph approaches but never touches

  • These are seen in reciprocal functions, where the graph never crosses certain lines

  • Function characteristics including domain and range can be identified and analyzed from graphs
