• To graph a function over the interval [a,b], use
the FUNCTION command.
• The syntax for the FUNCTION command is:
▫ Function[Function, a, b]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/geogebratalk-160308152455/85/GeoGebra-Talk-A-basic-introduction-7-320.jpg)

Editor's Notes
- #6 Functions – Linear, Quadratic, Polynomials, Exponential, Logarithms, Trigonometric, inverse functions, Properties – max, min, zeros, intercepts, domain, range, increasing, decreasing,
- #7 Sample .ggb
- #8 This can be used to graph piece-wise functions.
- #11 Open Piecewise.ggb Note: Geogebra has a built in command for graphing two functions given a specific condition. This is done using the IF command. This can be found in the HELP. Also show Exam1.ggb
- #15 Use the Piecewise.ggb example. Color, size, style, name, value, shape
- #16 Open Polynomial.ggb Modify Axis: Click on MOVE and drag on axis to change scale. To find function value: f( #) To factor: Use Factor [f] . However if it is unfactorable it will return the original function. To find X-int: Use Root command Root [f] or Use Intercept Two Objects Button To find Y-int: Use Intercept Two Objects Button (Click on both) To find max & min use the Extremum command. Extremum[f] Also talk about the relationship between zeros and multiplicity, End behavior
