    The document discusses identifying the type of function and writing the equation of a function based on its graph. It explains the basic graphs of linear, quadratic, cubic, and reciprocal functions and how the coefficients affect the orientation and position of the graph. Students are given graphs and must select the type of function and write a possible equation that would produce that graph, with the domain and range varying between questions. Several example equations are provided as answers.

    Mathematics Form 5

    Task: Suggesting the equation of a function given its graph

    Mathematics Form Five


    Learning Area: Graphs of Functions II
    Learning Objective: 2.1 Understand and use the concept of graphs of functions
    Learning Outcome: (iv) Sketch the graph of a given linear, quadratic, cubic or reciprocal function

    The shape of the graphs of linear, quadratic, cubic and reciprocal functions are easily recognizable.

    Linear function: Quadratic function: Cubic function: Reciprocal function:


    f ( x ) = ax + b f ( x) = ax 2 + b or f ( x) = ax 3 + b a
    f ( x) = , a ≠ 0
    f ( x ) = ( mx + n ) ( px + q ) x

    However, the different values of the coefficients of these functions will determine its orientation and
    position on the Cartesian coordinates. To be able to sketch the graph of a function well, it is important
    to understand the effect of these coefficients on the graph.

    In this task, you will


    i) identify the type of function given
    ii) try out various values of a, b, c or d for the coefficients so that your graph matches the
    one given in the table below
    iii) attempt to write an equation for graphs given.

    Use the  menu to input an equation that will produce the graph. The scale on both the x-axis and the
    y-axis is 1, but the domain and the range may vary with the question.
