Functions and Their Graphs


2.3 Properties of Functions
1. 2≤ x≤5

3. y = 2x 2 + 3
Test for symmetry:
x - axis : Replace y by − y : − y = 2x 2 + 3 ⇒ y = −2 x 2 − 3,
which is not equivalent to y = 2x 2 + 3.
y - axis : Replace x by − x : y = 2(−x ) + 3 = 2x 2 + 3,
2

which equivalent to y = 2x 2 + 3.
Origin : Replace x by − x and y by − y : − y = 2(−x ) + 3 ⇒ y = −2x 2 − 3,
2

which is not equivalent to y = 2x 2 + 3.


Therefore, the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

5. y = x2 −9
y - intercept : Let x = 0, then y = 0 2 − 9 = −9 (0,−9)
x - intercepts : Let y = 0, then 0 = x 2 − 9 ⇒ x 2 = 9 ⇒ x = ±3 (−3,0), (3,0)

(f) Graphing the secant lines:

(g) The secant lines are beginning to look more and more like the tangent line to the
graph of f at the point where x = 0.
(h) The slopes of the secant lines are getting smaller and smaller. They seem to
be approaching the number zero.

73. Answers will vary.

75. One, at most, because if f is increasing it could only cross the x-axis at most one time.
The graph of f could not "turn" and cross it again or it would start to decrease.

77. The only such function is f (x ) = 0 .
