The Key Features of Function Graphs - Preview • Domain and Range • x-intercepts and y-intercepts • Intervals of increasing, decreasing, and constant behavior • Parent Equations • Maxima and Minima
Domain • To find the domain of the graph _____________________of the graph
→ → Determining Domain - Symbols
Determining Domain • Start at the origin • Return to the origin
Examples Domain: Domain:
Example Domain:
Determining Domain - Infinity Domain:
Examples Domain: Domain:
Your Turn: • In the purple Precalculus textbooks, complete problems 3, 7, and find the domain of 9 and 10 on pg. 160 3. 7. 9. 10.
Range • To find the range of the graph _____ _________________of the graph • We also use open and closed circles for the range
Determining Range • Start at the origin • Return to the origin
Examples Range: Range:

Your Turn: • In the purple Precalculus textbooks, complete problems 4, 8, and find the range of 9 and 10 on pg. 160 4. 8. 9. 10.
X-Intercepts • Has many names: • x-intercept • Roots • Zeros
Examples x-intercepts: x-intercepts:
Y-Intercepts y-intercepts: y-intercepts:
Types of Function Behavior • 3 types: • Increasing • Decreasing • Constant • When determining the type of behavior, ____________________________________________________________________

Types of Behavior – Increasing • Direct Relationship
Types of Behavior – Decreasing • Inverse Relationship
Identifying Intervals of Behavior Increasing: [0, 4) The y-values are increasing the x-values are between 0 inclusive and 4 exclusive when
Identifying Intervals of Behavior y • Increasing: • Constant: • Decreasing: x 1 1
Identifying Intervals of Behavior, cont. y • Increasing: • Constant: • Decreasing: x -3 -1 Don’t get distracted by the arrows! Even though both of the arrows point “up”, the graph isn’t increasing at both ends of the graph!
Your Turn: • Complete problems 1 – 4 on The Key Features of Function Graphs – Part II handout.
1. 2. 3. 4.
Parent Function • The most basic form of a type of function • Determines the general shape of the graph
Linear Absolute Value Greatest Integer Quadratic Cubic Square Root Cube Root Reciprocal Basic Types of Parent Functions

Your Turn: • Complete problems 5 – 12 on The Key Features of Function Graphs handout
Identifying Minimum and Maximum Points • You can have any combination of min and max points • Minimum: • Maximum:
Your Turn: • Complete problems 1 – 6 on The Key Features of Function Graphs – Part III handout.
Find f(#) Find the value of f(x) when x equals #. Solve for f(x) or y! Find f(x) = # Find the value of x when f(x) equals #. Solve for x! Reminder: Find f(#) and Find f(x) = x
Evaluating Graphs of Functions – Find f(#) • f(1) = • f(–2) =
Evaluating Graphs of Functions – Find f(x) = # • f(x) = –2 • f(x) = 2
Example • Find f(1) • Find f(–0.5) • Find f(x) = 0 • Find f(x) = –5
Your Turn: • Complete Parts A – D for problems 7 – 14 on The Key Features of Function Graphs – Part III handout.
