GRAPH OF FUNCTIONS

Graph of Functions
1. A function is a relationship that expresses a variable in terms of one
or more variables. For example, m=6 n , y=2 x +4 etc ..
2. We can represent a function by a line (straight or curved) on a
coordinate plane.
3. Examples of graphs of functions:
a) A linear function It is represented by a straight line
graph.
( y=mx +c )

b) A quadratic function It is represented by a curve


(parabola shape).
2
( y=a x +bx +c )

c) A cubic function It is represented by a curve (cubic


graph).

( y=a x +b x +cx +d )

d) A reciprocal function It is represented by a curve


(hyperbola shape).
a
( y= )
x

e) An exponential function It is represented by a curve.
