Section 3.6 Analysis of a Function
Objective: To be able to sketch the graph of a function based on an analytical approach. • x-intercepts: set and find x-values. • y-intercepts: find • Symmetry: y-axis → origin → • Continuity: intervals where • Domain: all values of x that have functional values. • Range: switch x and y, resolve for y, then repeat #5.
7. Vertical Asymptotes: • Differentiability: all values of x where the derivative is defined. • Extrema: endpoints. • Concavity: • Points of Inflection: • Horizontal Asymptotes: • Period (of a trig function): normal periods are 2π for sin, cos, csc, sec and π for tan, and cot. It changes when a number is in front of the variable – divide period by #. • Slant Asymptote: when degree of numerator is one more than degree of denominator.
