  1. ANALYZING GRAPHS OF FUNCTIONS

  2. We have talked about functions • We have talked about graphs • Let’s talk about functions AS graphs

  3. Find the Domain and Range

  4. Use graph to evalaute function Evaluate: f(-3) f(1) f(4) f(2)

  5. Zeros of a function • The ZEROS OF A FUNCTION, f, are the x-values for which f(x) = 0 • These are the x-values where the function crosses the x-axis.

  6. To find the zeros • Set the function equal to zero and solve for x • Graph the function and note where it crosses the x-axis

  7. Practice • f(x) = 3x2 + x – 10 • h(x) = 2x + 3

  8. Change in Functions • INCREASING: A function f is increasing on an interval if, for any a, b in the interval, a < b  f(a) < f(b) • DECREASING: A function f is decreasing on an interval if, for any a, b in the interval, a < b  f(a) > f(b) • CONSTANT: A function f is constant on an interval if, for any a, b in the interval, a < b  f(a) = f(b)

  9. Where are these functions increasing? Decreasing? Constant?

  10. Draw a function that: • Increases from (-∞, -11) • Decreases from (-11, -2.5) • Increases from (-2.5, 8) • Is constant from (8, ∞)

  11. Relative Minimum, Maximum • RELATIVE MINIMUM: f(a) is a relative minimum of f if there exists an interval (x, y) that contains a such that for any b, x<b<y  f(a)<f(b) • Rewrite in a way that is easier to read!

  12. Relative Minimum and Maximum • RELATIVE MAXIMUM: f(a) is a relative minimum of f if there exists an interval (x, y) that contains a such that for any b, x<b<y  f(a)>f(b)

  13. Relate the new topics to things we studied a few days ago…Match up and explain how they are related. • Domain and range • Evaluate using algebra • Zeros of a function • Increasing/Decreasing/Constant functions • Evaluate function using a graph • X-intercepts • Slope • Input and output
