Warm up • The domain of a function is its • y-values b) x-values c) intercepts • The range of a function is its a) y-values b) x-values c) intercepts
Extrema….. f(x) = anxn + an-1xn-1 + …..+ a0 The function of f has at most n – 1 relative extrema (relative minimums or maximums) • Extrema are turns in the graph. • If you are given a graph take the turns and add 1 to get the degree. • If you are given the function, take the degree and subtract 1 to get the turns.
What if you didn’t have a graph? f(x) = x4 + 2x2 – 3x Degree: __________ Number of U-Turns/Extrema: ____ Degree: __________ Number of U-Turns/Extrema: ____ f(x) = -x5 +3x4 – x Degree: __________ Number of U-Turns/Extrema: ____ f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 + 5
What is the least possible degree of this function? What is the domain and range of this function?
Domain and Range • Remember that domain is all the x-values (the input). • Remember that range is all the y-values (the output).
(2,4) (4,0) (-1,-5) What is the domain of f(x)? Ex. 1 y = f(x) [-1,4) Must be written in interval notation Domain is [-1,4)
What is the range of f(x)? (2,4) (4,0) (-1,-5) y = f(x) Range [-5,4]
(2,4) y = f(x) (4,0) Range (-1,-5) Domain

Increasing, Decreasing, and Constant How can you tell whether a graph is increasing, degreasing, or constant?
A function is increasing when its graph rises as it goes from left to right. A function is decreasing when its graph falls as it goes from left to right. dec inc inc
Increasing Decreasing Constant Decreasing from Constant from [0, 2] Increasing from
Increasing and decreasing are stated in terms of domain (x-values) Ex. 4b (-, -1] [-1, 1] [1, ) increasing increasing decreasing (-1,2) (1,-2)
Increasing and Decreasing Functions Describe the increasing and decreasing behavior. The function is decreasing over the entire real line.
Ex. 4c Increasing and decreasing are stated in terms of domain (-, 0] [0, 2] [2, ) increasing constant decreasing (0, 1) (2, 1)
Increasing and Decreasing Functions Describe the increasing and decreasing behavior. The function is decreasing on the interval increasing on the interval decreasing on the interval increasing on the interval

What’s a zero? Zeros/x-intercepts/Solutions/Roots Where the graph crosses the x-axis
Analyze the Graph of a Function x-intercepts Where the graph crosses the x-axis. Also called zeros.
Zeros? X= -3, -1, 2
y-intercepts Where the graph crosses the y-axis
