  14. Obtaining Information From Graphs You can obtain information about a function from its graph. At the right or left of a graph, you will find closed dots, open dots, or arrows. • An arrow indicates that the graph extends indefinitely in the direction in which the arrow points.

  15. Obtaining Information From Graphs • A closed dot indicates that the graph does not extend beyond this point and the point belongs to the graph. • An open dot indicates that the graph does not extend beyond this point and the point does not belong to the graph.

  16. Ex 2: Obtaining Information From a Function’s Graph

  17. Solution of part a.

  18. Solution of part b.

  19. Solution of part c.

  20. The Vertical Line Test If any vertical line intersects a graph in more than one point, the graph does not define y as a function of x.

  21. Ex 3: Using the Vertical Line Test

  22. Solution

  23. Increasing Function A function is increasing on an interval if for any x1 and x2 in the interval, where x1<x2, then f(x1)<f(x2).

  24. Decreasing Function A function is Decreasing on an interval if for any x1 and x2 in the interval, where x1<x2, then f(x1)>f(x2).

  25. Constant Function A function is constant on an interval if for any x1 and x2 in the interval, where x1<x2, then f(x1)=f(x2).
