  1. Section P.3 – Functions and their Graphs

  2. Functions A relation such that there is no more than oneoutput for each input A B C W Z

  3. 4 Examples of Functions These are all functions because every x value has only one possible y value Every one of these functions is a relation.

  4. 3 Examples of Non-Functions Not a function since x=-4 can be either y=7 or y=1 Not a function since multiple x values have multiple y values Not a function since x=1 can be either y=10 or y=-3 Every one of these non-functions is a relation.

  5. The Vertical Line Test If a vertical line intersects a curve more than once, it is not a function. Use the vertical line test to decide which graphs are functions. Make sure to circle the functions.

  6. The Vertical Line Test If a vertical line intersects a curve more than once, it is not a function. Use the vertical line test to decide which graphs are functions. Make sure to circle the functions.

  7. Function Notation: f(x) It does stand for “plug a value for x into a formula f” Does not stand for “f times x” Equations that are functions are typically written in a different form than “y =.” Below is an example of function notation: The equation above is read: fof x equals the square root of x. The first letter, in this case f, is the name of the function machine and the value inside the parentheses is the input. The expression to the right of the equal sign shows what the machine does to the input.

  8. Example If g(x) = 2x + 3, find g(5). When evaluating, do not write g(x)! You want x=5 since g(x) was changed to g(5) You wanted to find g(5). So the complete final answer includes g(5) not g(x)

  9. Solving v Evaluating No equal sign Equal sign Solve for x The output is -5. Substitute and Evaluate The input (or x) is 3.

  10. Number Sets Countingnumbers (maybe0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on) Natural Numbers: Integers: Positive and negativecounting numbers (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and so on) a number that can be expressed as aninteger fraction(-3/2, -1/3, 0, 1, 55/7, 22, and so on) Rational Numbers: Irrational Numbers: a number that canNOTbe expressed as aninteger fraction(π, √2, and so on) NONE

  11. Number Sets Real Numbers: The set of allrationaland irrational numbers Rational Numbers Integers Irrational Numbers Real Number Venn Diagram: Natural Numbers

  12. Set Notation

  13. Example 1 Graphically and algebraically represent the following: All real numbers greater than 11 Graph: Inequality: Interval: 10 11 12 Infinity never ends. Thus we always use parentheses to indicate there is no endpoint.

  14. Example 2 Describe, graphically, and algebraically represent the following: Description: Graph: Interval: All real numbers greater than or equal to 1 and less than 5 1 3 5

  15. Example 3 Describe and algebraically represent the following: Describe: Inequality: Symbolic: -2 1 4 All real numbers less than -2 or greater than 4 The union or combination of the two sets.

  16. Domain and Range f x y The domain and range help determine the window of a graph.

  17. Example 1 Describe the domain and range of both functions in interval notation: Domain: Domain: Range: Range:

  18. Example 2 The domain is not obvious with the graph or table. The input to a square root function must be greater than or equal to 0 Dividing by a negative switches the sign The range is clear from the graph and table. DOMAIN: RANGE: Find the domain and range of .

  19. Piecewise Functions For Piecewise Functions, different formulas are used in different regions of the domain. Ex: An absolute value function can be written as a piecewise function:

  20. Example 1 Write a piecewise function for each given graph.

  21. Example 2 Use a graph or table to help. Find the x value of the vertex Change the absolute values to parentheses. Plus make the one on the left negative. Rewrite as a piecewise function.

  22. Basic Types of Transformations Parent/Original Function: ( h, k ):The Key Point A vertical stretch if |a|>1and a vertical compression if |a|<1 When negative, the original graph is flipped about the x-axis Horizontal shift of h units When negative, the original graph is flipped about the y-axis Vertical shift of k units

  23. Transformation Example Use the graph of below to describe and sketch the graph of . Description: Shift the parent graph four units to the left and three units down.

  24. Composition of Functions Substituting a function or it’s value into another function. There are two notations: g Second First OR f (inside parentheses always first)

  25. Example 1 Let and . Find: Substitute x=1 into g(x) first Substitute the result into f(x) last

  26. Example 2 Let and . Find: Substitute the result into g(x) last Substitute x into f(x) first

  27. Even v Odd Function Even Function Odd Function Symmetrical with respect to the y-axis. Symmetrical with respect to the origin. Tests… Replacing x in the function by –x yields an equivalent function. Replacing x in the function by –xyields the opposite of the function.

  28. Example Is the function odd, even, or neither? Test by Replacing x in the function by –x. Check out the graph first. An equivalent equation. The equation is even.

  29. Delta x Δx stands for “the change in x.” It is a variable that represents ONE unknown value. For example, if x1 = 5 and x2 = 7 then Δx = 7 – 5 = 2. Δx can be algebraically manipulated similarly to single letter variables. Simplify the following statements:
