Introduction to Graphing Functions
What is a Function? The Cartesian Plane
A function is a relationship between two sets of values, input and The Cartesian plane, or coordinate plane, is a two-dimensional grid
output. It assigns exactly one output value for each input value. used to graph functions. It consists of two perpendicular axes: x
and y.
Graphing Basic Functions
1 Linear Functions 2 Quadratic Functions
Linear functions have a constant rate of change and are Quadratic functions have a parabolic shape, meaning their
represented by a straight line. graph forms a curve.
Graphing Complex Functions
Rational Functions Exponential Functions
Rational functions involve fractions Exponential functions show rapid
where the numerator and growth or decay based on a constant
denominator are polynomials. base.
Logarithmic Functions
Logarithmic functions are the inverse
of exponential functions, showing
slow growth.
Transformations and Graphing
Functions
Translation
1 Shifting a function up, down, left, or right.
Reflection
2 Flipping a function across the x or y axis.
Stretching/Compression
3 Making a function taller or shorter.
Identifying Functions from Graphs
Shape
1 Is it a line, a parabola, or a curve?
Intercepts
2
Where does the graph cross the x and y axes?
Slope/Rate of Change
3
How steep is the graph? How fast is the function changing?
Solving Equations Using Graphs
Finding Solutions
1
The point where graphs intersect represents the solution to a system of equations.
Graphical Analysis
2 Using graphs to visualize and solve equations can provide
insights into the nature of solutions.
