Be able to recognize the graphs for the following functions: linear, quadratic, absolute value, polynomial (cube and cube root especially), exponential, and logarithm functions.
Equation examples: [pic](Linear (degree of 1), [pic]( Quadratic (degree of 2), [pic](Absolute Value,[pic](Cube function, [pic](Cube Root, [pic](Exponential (a number raised to the x power), [pic](Logarithm
|Function |Equation etc |
|Linear |y = mx + b (SI) |

| |b is (0,b) y-intercept |

| |Horizontal line HOY |
| |y = #, zero slope |

| |Vertical lines are not functions (VUX) |

| |Ln is log base e |
Polynomials: To find the zeros of a polynomial equation, either:
1.) Graph the equation on your calculator and look at where the graph crosses/touches the x-axis
or
2.) Solve the equation by factoring and setting each factor = 0 (may need to use the quadratic formula (given to you on the ‘formula’ screen.) You must do this when you cannot tell where the graph crosses or if it doesn’t cross the x-axis.)

Finding Domain/Range,
A ‘Function’ means that x-values do not repeat---it must pass the vertical line test.
Domain – set of all x-values Range – set of all y-values
Ex 1: Find the Domain/Range of [pic].
From the graph shown: (Note: [pic] symbol means “all reals”)
Domain =
Range =
Increasing/Decreasing Intervals
As x increases from - infinity to + infinity (read from left (right), do y values increase or decrease? The intervals will be the x values in these areas.
Ex 2:. From the graph shown, one increasing interval would be from – infinity to 0. What is the other increasing interval?
Ex 3: What are the decreasing intervals?
Leading Coefficient
Ex 5. What is the sign of the leading coefficient for the graph above? _____________
Polynomial practice: Answer the examples below:
Ex 7: What is the greatest number of real zeros possible for[pic]? _____
Ex 8: What are the zeros and corresponding factors of the graph given below?
Example 9: What is a possible equation for this graph?
Transformations of Graphs:
Ex. 10: Give the name of the graph and identify the transformations from the parent:
Ex. 8: What are the possible equations of these graphs?
Rational Functions: See the chart for information on rational graphs:
|Rational Function |y = [pic] where p(x) and| Domain all real numbers|Vertical Asymptotes: Set q(x) = 0 and solve.|
| |q(x) are polynomial |except the values that |Look at domain restrictions. |
|[pic] |functions |make q(x)= 0 | |
| | | |Horizontal Asymptotes: |
| |q(x) [pic]0 |Zeros of function set |1. Degree of p(x) < Degree of q(x) y = 0 |
| | |p(x)= 0 and solve |2. Degree of p(x) > Degree of q(x) None |
| |discontinuous | |3. Degree of p(x) = Degree of q(x) |
| | | |y = LC of p(x)/LC of Q(x) [pic] |
Domain/Range of Rational Functions: Will depend on the asymptotes of the graph.
Ex 2: Find the Domain/Range of [pic].
Vertical asymptote? x = ____ Horizontal asymptote? y = _____
