Graphs of Various Functions

1. The document discusses various types of functions including: linear, quadratic, cubic, inverse, modulus, signum, greatest integer, exponential, and logarithmic functions. 2. It provides the algebraic form, domain, and range for each type of function. For example, a quadratic function is of the form f(x)=ax2+bx+c, with domain and range of all real numbers. 3. A more detailed analysis is given for the quadratic function f(x)=ax2+bx+c, discussing its graph in cases where b2-4ac is positive, negative, or zero, and whether a is positive or negative.

12 Detailed Analysis of quadratic function f(x)=ax2+bx+c= a[(x+b/2a)2 +(4ac-b2)/4a2] Graphs in various cases 1 b2-4ac<0 i)a>0 ii) a<0

x=b/2a

x=b/2a

ii) a>0

a<0

x=b/2a x1 (4ac-b2)/4a x2 x1 x=b/2a x2

Let us designate quadratic function by x then in above graphs verify the following i) For a>0 and b2-4ac>0, f(x)<0 for x1<x<x2 and for all other values x f(x)>0.Also the function has a minimum value at x=b/2a but no maximum.

ii) iii)

For a<0 and b2-4ac>0,f(x)>0 for x1<x<x2 and for all other values x f(x)<0.Function has a maximum value at x=b/2a but no minimum. For b2-4ac<0,f(x) >0
