2 Chapter Analysis of Graphs of Functions Definitions: Continuous Functions:.1 Graphs of Functions A function is called continuous on its domain if it has no tears, gaps, or holes. That is, if it can be drawn without lifting your pencil when you draw it on paper. Increasing and Decreasing Functions: A function f is called increasing on an interval I if f f whenever in I 1 1 A function f is called decreasing on an interval I if f f whenever in I 1 1 y B D y f C A f f 1 0 a 1 b c d Increasing Increasing Decreasing Constant Functions: A function f is called constant on an interval I if f f whenever in I (or in general, whenever ) y y 5 Symmetry of Functions: Even Functions y f y A function f is called an EVEN function if it satisfies the condition f f for all in its domain. i.e. If the point, is on the graph of, then the point, must be also on its graph. An EVEN function is symmetric about the y-ais

3 Section.1 Graphs of Functions Eamples of Even Functions y f f 0 Odd Functions y f y A function f is called an ODD function if it satisfies the condition f f for all in its domain. i.e. If the point, is on the graph of, then the point, must be also on its graph. An ODD function is symmetric about the origin. Eamples of Odd Functions y 0 f f Tests for Symmetry: Symmetry about the y-ais (even functions): Replace with in f ( ). If f ( ) f ( ), then the graph is symmetric about the y-ais. Symmetry about the origin (odd functions): Replace with in f ( ). If f ( ) f ( ), then the graph is symmetric about the origin. Symmetry about the -ais: Replace y with y in the equation. If you get the same equation, then the graph is symmetric about the -ais. Remember that graphs symmetric about the -ais are not functions. See the eample below. -50-

8 Chapter Analysis of Graphs of Functions. Translations of Graphs In this section, translations of graphs will be discussed. We will be using a screen produced by a TI 84+ showing an original function drawn in a thick line and some other functions that were produced from that original function. We should be able to come up with a conclusion from all of these screens. Vertical Shifts The above two screens show that if f ( ) is a function and c is a positive number, then the graph of f ( ) c is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but shifted down c units. The above two screens show that if f ( ) is a function and c is a positive number, then the graph of f ( ) c is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but shifted up c units. Horizontal Shifts The above two screens show that if f ( ) is a function and c is a positive number, then the graph of f ( c) is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but shifted to the right c units. -55-

9 Section. Translations of Graphs The above two screens show that if f ( ) is a function and c is a positive number, then the graph of f ( c) is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but shifted to the left c units. Vertical Stretching The above screens show that if f ( ) is a function and c is a positive number greater than 1 ( c 1), then the graph of [ cf ( )] is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but vertically stretched by a factor of c Vertical Shrinking The above screens show that if f ( ) is a function and c is a positive number such that 0 c 1, then the graph of [ cf ( )] is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but vertically shrunk by a factor of c. -56-

10 Chapter Analysis of Graphs of Functions Horizontal Shrinking The above screens show that if f ( ) is a function and c is a positive number greater than 1 ( c 1), then the graph of f ( c) is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but horizontally shrunk by a factor of c. Horizontal Stretching The above screens show that if f ( ) is a function and c is a positive number such that 0 c 1, then the graph of f ( c) is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but horizontally stretched by a factor of c. Reflection About the -ais The above screens show that if f ( ) is a function, then the graph of [ f ( )] is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but reflected about the -ais. -57-

11 Section. Translations of Graphs Reflection About the y-ais The above screens show that if f ( ) is a function, then the graph of f ( ) is eactly the same as the graph of f ( ) but reflected about the y-ais. Now, that we know all operations that can be performed on a given graph, we should be able to answer the following eamples. Eample 1: The graph of the function f ( ) is shifted to the right units, then vertically stretched by a factor of 4, then reflected about the y-ais, and finally shifted down 5 units. Write the final translated function h() and give its graph.

Find the rule of the function g. Solution: We will show two methods to solve these types of problems. Method 1: Following the eact steps as given and equating the final answer to -59- f. shifted to the left vertically stretched reflected about g g g g 5 units by a factor of 4 the y-ais shifted down 4g 5 4g 5 f ; solve for g units 4g 5 ; add to both sides of the equation 4g 5 ; multiply both sides of the equation by 1/4

Translations of Graphs Note: The absolute value of any negative number is equal to the absolute value of the number itself. Method : The function g is shifted to the left 5 units, vertically stretched by a factor of 4, reflected about the y-ais, and finally shifted down units to obtain the function Perform the opposite of each transformation in reverse order on g. The function f f. to obtain the rule of the function f is shifted up units, reflected about the y-ais, vertically shrunk by a factor of 1/4, and finally shifted to the right 5 units.

16 Chapter Analysis of Graphs of Functions. Absolute Equalities and Inequalities Absolute Value of a Function: f f if f 0 f if f 0 The above notation is simply saying that when the graph is zero or positive, leave it as it is. If the graph is negative then reflect it about the -ais to make it positive. 4 Eample 1: Given that f 0.1, use your graphing calculator to graph y f. Solution: The first screen below shows the graph of the function f(). The second screen shows both the graph of the function in thick lines and the graph of its absolute together. The last screen shows only the graph of the absolute of the function. Absolute Equations: if 0 if 0 Absolute value of measures the distance from to zero. Remember that distance must be non-negative. Therefore 7 7, 1 1, 0 0, 5 5, 10 10, and so on since the distance from any number to zero is the positive case of that number. Eample : Solve the absolute equation. Solution: The problem is simply saying that if the distance from to zero is units, what is? We know that the distance must be non-negative. If we want to measure units from zero, we have two ways to do so. Either we count units to the right (this case we get +) or we can count units to the left (this case we get -). This means we have two answers for, + and -. The figure below shows how we got these two answers. units units

17 Section. Absolute Equations and Inequalities To generalize the method of solving absolute equations, we have the following rules: If a b c where c is a positive number ( c 0) then, a b c or a b c If a b c where c is a negative number ( c 0) then the equation has no solution If a b 0 then, a b 0 Eample : Solve the absolute equation 5. Solution: First we need to apply the rule above and remove the absolute symbol by writing two equations. 5 5 or 5 5 ;, 8 8 Eample 4: Solve the absolute equation Solution: We have to isolate the absolute epression before removing the absolute symbol. Therefore the equivalent equation is Now we should be able to write two equations and solve the problem or ;,9 9 Eample 5: Solve the absolute equation 7 8. Solution: We have to isolate the absolute epression before removing the absolute symbol. Therefore the equivalent equation is 7 5. But, we know that absolute value must be non-negative all the time. Therefore, the given absolute equation has no solution. Eample 6: Solve the absolute equation Solution: In this type of problems when you see zero on one side of the equation, simply remove the absolute symbol and solve the equation as usual

Just write -1/ Solving Inequalities of the Form a b c Solving Absolute Inequalities If a b c where c is a positive number c 0, then a b c and a b c If we write the above as continued inequalities, we can write the inequality as follows: c a b c If a b c where c is a negative number c 0, then the inequality has no solution If a b 0, then a b 0 Note: In the above rule, due to space limitation, we used the symbol of inequality less than or equal. The less than symbol also applies to this rule. -65-

19 Section. Absolute Equations and Inequalities The figure below shows why we call the above inequality the AND case. Notice that the interval of the solution is one continuous interval. If is in the interval (-, ), we can see that is less than AND is greater than -. less than units less than units Eample 9: Solve the absolute inequality. 5 Solution: First we need to apply the rule above and remove the absolute symbol by writing continued inequalities as follows: Set Notation: { 8 } Interval Notation: [-8, ] Eample 11: Solve the absolute inequality. 7 8 Solution: We have to isolate the absolute epression before removing the absolute symbol. Therefore the equivalent inequality is 7 5. But we know that absolute value must be nonnegative all the time. Therefore, the given absolute inequality has no solution. Eample 10: Solve the absolute inequality Solution: We have to isolate the absolute epression before removing the absolute symbol. Therefore the equivalent inequality is Now we should be able to write the inequality as continued inequalities and solve the problem Set Notation: { 9} Interval Notation: (,9) Eample 1: Solve the absolute inequality Solution: In these types of problems when you see that the inequality epression is less than or equal to zero, remove the absolute symbol, replace the inequality symbol with an equal sign and solve the equation

20 Chapter Analysis of Graphs of Functions Solving Inequalities of the Form a b c If If a b c where c is a positive number c 0, then a b c or a b c If a b c where c is a non-positive number c 0, then the solution is the set of all real numbers b a b 0, then the solution is all real numbers ecept a b b that is:,, a a Note: In the above rule, due to space limitation, we used the symbol of inequality greater than or equal also applies to this rule.. The greater than symbol The figure below shows why we call the above inequality the OR case. Notice that the interval of the solution is two separate intervals. If is in the interval, then is less than -. If is in the interval, then is greater than. Since cannot be in two places at the same time, we have to say that is less than - OR is greater than. greater than units greater than units Eample 1: Solve the absolute inequality 5 Solution: First we need to apply the rule above and remove the absolute symbol by writing the absolute inequality as two separate inequalities or 5 5 Set Notation: { 8 or } Interval Notation: (-,-8] [, ) Eample 14: Solve the absolute inequality 7 8 Solution: We have to isolate the absolute epression before removing the absolute symbol. Therefore, the equivalent inequality is 7 5. But, we know that absolute value must be non-negative all the time. Therefore, the solution to the given absolute inequality is the set of all real numbers. -67-

21 Section. Absolute Equations and Inequalities Eample 15: Solve the absolute inequality Solution: We have to isolate the absolute epression before removing the absolute symbol.

24 Chapter Analysis of Graphs of Functions.4 Piecewise Functions Definition: A piecewise function is a defined function that consists of several functions (i.e. The graph of a piecewise function consists of several graphs. Each one of these graphs is also a function). Graphs of parts of a piecewise function usually have one or more of the following: holes, sharp corners, and jumps. Eample 1: Graph the following piecewise function and evaluate it at the given values., if 0 f ; f, f, f 0 5, if 0 Solution: To graph the given piecewise function, we need to graph each part separately. Be sure to graph each part within its defined domain. You can see that the first part which is a parabola is defined only over the interval (,0] and the point zero is included (closed circle). The second part represents a line. The line is defined only on the interval (0, ) where point zero is ecluded (open circle). Now, press TRACE and enter the values for at which you want to evaluate the function f. f f f 5 1, use the second function since is in its domain only. 4, use the first function since - is in its domain only 0 0 0, use the first function since 0 is in its domain only Computer generated graph : -71-

25 Section.4 Piecewise Functions Note: There are other ways to enter the piecewise function of eample #1 in our TI. See the following screens to see how this can be done. In our opinion, the first method is easier than these other methods.

If not, always round down. Eample : Evaluate the following: f.4, 5, 1., 0, 1.45, 7 Solution: Since the value of the function is equal to if is an integer, we need to round down if is not f, 5, 1,0,, 7 an integer, Graphing Calculator Solution of Eample : Press MATH NUM 5:int( Graph of the Greatest Integer Function f : Computer G enerated G raph : Domain: The set of all real numbers or, Range: The set of all integers -7-

This is a lack of technology. All vertical segments are not part of the graph. If you want to see a better graph, you need to change the MODE in your TI from Connected to Dot. To do this, press MODE, move the cursor down to Dot and press ENTER to highlight Dot. If you do this you ll get the screen below. Now you can see why we call this function Step Function.
