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
