This document discusses different types of functions including polynomials, rational functions, radical functions, absolute value functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, and trigonometric functions. It provides examples of how to sketch graphs of various functions by completing the square, reflecting, shifting, compressing/expanding, and using properties of exponentials, logarithms, and trigonometric functions. Key aspects like periodicity and domains/ranges are also covered.
4. • A polynomial of degree 1 is of the form 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏 and so it is a linear
function.
• A polynomial of degree 2 is of the form 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 and is called a
quadratic function.
• The parabola opens upward if 𝑎 > 0 and downward if 𝑎 < 0 .
• A polynomial of degree 3 is of the form 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒂𝒙𝟑 + 𝒃𝒙𝟐 + 𝒄𝒙 + 𝒅 and is
called a cubic function.

Sketch 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥2
+ 6𝑥 + 10
Completing the square, we write the equation of the graph as
y = 𝑥2
+ 6𝑥 + 10 = 𝑥 + 3 2
+ 1
This means we
obtain the
desired graph by
starting with the
parabola and
shifting 3 units to
the left and then
1 unit upward.

Graph 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥2
− 1 in steps
We first graph the parabola
𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥2
− 1 by shifting the parabola
𝑦 = 𝑥2 downward 1 unit. We see that
the graph lies below the x-axis when
− 1 < 𝑥 < 1, so we reflect that part of
the graph about the x-axis to obtain the
graph of 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥2

23. • An important property of the sine and cosine functions is that they are
periodic functions and have period 2𝜋.
• The period of tangent is 𝜋.
• The remaining three trigonometric functions (cosecant, secant, and cotangent)
are the reciprocals of the sine, cosine, and tangent functions; therefore, they
have the same period.
23
Notice that for both the sine and cosine functions the domain is and the range
is the closed interval . Thus, for all values of , we have
−1 ≤ 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 ≤ 1 − 1 ≤ 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 ≤ 1
or, in terms of absolute values, 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 ≤ 1 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 ≤ 1
25. Example 2.5.a
25
Sketch the Graph 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝑥
We obtain the graph of 𝑓 𝑥 from
that of 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 by
compressing horizontally by a
factor of 2. Thus, whereas the
period of 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 is 2𝜋, the
period of 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝑥 is
2𝜋

Sketch the Graph 𝑓 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥
To obtain the graph of 𝑓 𝑥 = 1 −
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥, we again start with 𝑓 𝑥 =
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 . We reflect about the x-axis
to get the graph of 𝑓 𝑥 = −𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥
and then we shift 1 unit upward to
get 𝑓 𝑥 = 1 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥.

We start with the identity 𝑠𝑖𝑛2
𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠2
𝜃 = 1
Dividing both sides of this equation by 𝑐𝑜𝑠2
𝜃,
we obtain

Since
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃
𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃

conclude that tan2

shift it 2 units to the right to get
