Functions and equations. Mr. Thauvette DP SL Mathematics. Graphs of Functions. The x -intercepts of a function are the values of x for which y = 0. They are the zeros (i.e., solutions, roots) of the function. The y -intercept of a function is the value of y when x = 0.

Graphs of Functions The x-intercepts of a function are the values of x for which y = 0. They are the zeros (i.e., solutions, roots) of the function. The y-intercept of a function is the value of y when x = 0.
Graphs of Functions An asymptote is a line that the graph approaches or begins to look like as it tends to infinity in a particular direction. x = 2 horizontal asymptote vertical asymptote y= 2
Graphs of Functions To find vertical asymptotes, look for values of x for which the function is undefined: • If find where • If find where To find horizontal asymptotes, consider the behaviour as
Transformations of Graphs • translates vertically units. • translates horizontally units. • translates by the vector
Examples Find the equation of the relation under the translation vector indicated. Graph both the original and translated relations on the same set of axes. (a) (b)

translates by the vector EXAMPLE: Find the equation of under the translation
Dilation from the x-axis • is a vertical stretch of • with dilation factor .
Dilation from the y-axis • is a horizontal stretch of • with dilation factor .
