Function and Graph

This document discusses functions and their graphs. It provides examples of how to: 1) Find the graph of a function like f(x) = x^2 by determining the coordinates (x, f(x)) for different x values. 2) Determine the domain of a function by considering restrictions, like values that cannot be zero in denominators. 3) Draw the graph of a function by finding its values over its domain and plotting the coordinates. Properties of common functions and their typical graph shapes are discussed.

FUNCTION AND GRAPH


Chapter 1.2 PROPERTIES OF FUNCTION
Function

Lets assume we have a function :

Y = x2

This function can be written as:


f(x) = x2
Horizontal line
In graph will
represent
x axis and
Vertical line will
represent f(x)

Finding graph of a function

f(x) = x2

Now, if

x = 0; thn f(0) = (0)2 =0

x = 1; thn f(1) = (1)2 =1

x = 2; thn f(2) = (2)2 =4

x = 3; thn f(3) = (3)2 =9

x = -1; thn f(-1) = (-1)2


=1

x = -2; thn f(-2) = (-2)2


=4

x = -3; thn f(-3) = (-3)2


=9

..
Graph co-ordinates

So, the coordinates of x2 are,

(x, f(x))
=(0,0), (1,1), (2,4), (3, 9), (-1,1), (-2,4), (-3, 9) as far
as u can go
DOMAIN

u can find out graph of any function u are given


using the method I just showed.

Assume a value of x and find out the value of f(x)


against tht value.

f(x) = x2 x = 3; thn f(3) = (3)2 =9

Here for a function like x2 u can choose any value of x.

HOWEVER,,, some functions has limitation, u can not just put any
value for x.

For example :
How to find domain

f(x) =

Value of x MUST
BE POSITIVE;

f(x)=

Value of x MUST NOT


BE ZERO;
1. Value inside square-root must be POSITIVE
(cz square-root cant process negative numbers
2. Denominator must not be ZERO
Example:

Find the Domain of the following equations:


y 2 + x2 = 25
Solution:
y2 + x2 = 25
y2 = 25 - x2
y = +

f(x)= | |
so,
25 - x2 > 0
x2<25
x < +5

x < |5|
So value of x
will be equal
or less thn 5
and more thn
-5
NOTE:
In calculus we write +a as |a|
So, |a| = a & -a
RULES:
|-a| = |a|
|ab| = |a| |b|
|a/b| = |a| / |b| (b must not be
ZERO)
|a+b| < |a| + |b|
..continuation of previous slide

value of x will be equal to 5 or less thn 5 and


more thn -5 can e written as

-5<x<5

So,

f(x) = | | = & -

So you have to find f(5), f(4), f(3), f(2), f(1), f(0), f(-1), f(-2), f(-3), f(-4),
f(-5)
For both & -

DO YOURSELF
..continuation of previous slide
HINTS:
FO
R,
FOR,
-
find f(5), f(4), f(3), f(2), f(1), f(0), f(-1), f(-2), f(-3), f(-4), f(-5) For and
draw the graph AND
find f(5), f(4), f(3), f(2), f(1), f(0), f(-1), f(-2), f(-3), f(-4), f(-5) For -
and draw the graph
U can chk previous slide no 3 for more details
THE GRAPH OF THE MATH WILL LOOK
LIKE THIS:
Summary

Find f(x) from y2 + x2 = 25

Which is f(x)= | |

Find domain of x which is -5<x<5

means , find f(x) for x = - 5, -4,-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,


5
Which is f(-5), f(-4).f(0)..f(4), f(-5)

For both & -

And draw graph for each of them


DURING EXAM U WILL GET MAX 5 MINS TO
COMPLETE ALL THESE STEPS SO U NEED
TO KNW THE properties of graphs..TO FINISH
THIS MATH MORE QUICKLY .
Properties of graph.

x , x2 , x3, , 1/x, sin x, cos x, tanx,

All of them has different type of shapes whn u


convert them into graph.

JUST REMEMBER THIS SHAPES OF GRAPHS


ACCORDING TO THEIR EQUATIONS.

ONCE U SEE AN EQUATION, IF CAN REMEMER


THE PROPERTIES , U CAN IMAGINE HOW THE
GRAPH WILL LOOK LIKE..

SO JUST FIND DOMAIN & RANGE, put them into


the graph and draw the shape..u dnt hav to go to
every single coordinate to find the shape.
DOMAIN & RANGE

IF

f(x)=
THN, domain : -5<x<5
And range : f(-5) < f(x) <f(5)
HOMEWORK

Find domain range and graph for :


a.) y = 1/(x-5)
b) y = (1/x) -5
c) y2 = x2 -4
d) y = 9 - x2
Tricky Example:

f(x) = (x2 - 4) / (x-2)

f(x) = (x2 - 4) / (x-2)


= (x - 2) (x+2) / (x-2)
= x + 2
so, f(x) = x+2

this is the tricky part.. u can put any value for x when f(x) = x+2;

BUT..

our main function is f(x) = (x2 - 4) / (x-2)

HERE, x MUST NOT BE 2. cz if x = 2 thn denominator is is 2-2 = 0.

so... even though f(x) = x+2 , domain is any value of X except 2.


Example: DRAW THE GRAPH of f(x)
this math, there are 3 conditions of f(x)
according to the value x.
solution:
..continuation of previous slide

so...
f(-3) = 0
f (-2) = 0
f(-1) = 0
f(0) = 1
f( 1) = 0
f(2) =2
f(3) =3
f(4) = 4
....
TRY these at home

find the graph of


f(x) = tanx (hints: tanx =sinx/cosx ; so cosx must NOT be 0)

((hints: x-1 > 0 so, x > 1...so find out f(1),
f(2)..till f() f(5) or, f(6)
