GRAPH OF
FUNCTIONS
• A relation can be described as a graph
a. A = {(-5, -5), (-3, -3), (-1, -1), (1, 1),(3, 3), (5, 5)}

Since the domain is limited to
the set D = {-5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5} ,
points should not be connected

The Vertical Line Test
• A graph of a relation is a function if any vertical line
drawn passing through the graph intersects it at
exactly one point.
 Determine which of the following graphs of relation represents a
function.
• Constant Functions


A constant function C consists of a single real number k in its range for
all real numbers x in its domain.
IDENTITY
FUNCTION
I(x) = x

If the domain is specified to be the set of
all real numbers, the range of the identity
function is also the set of all real numbers
• Some points on the graph of an I(x) = x are
(-2, -2), (-1, -1), (0, 0),(1, 1), (2, 2)
POLYNOMIAL
FUNCTIONS

A constant function is a polynomial function
of the degree 0. If a polynomial function is of
the first degree, then it is called a linear
function

A quadratic function
is a parabola.

The range for both
function is {y ǀ y > 0
}
Absolute Value Functions:

f (x) = x
The domain of an absolute
value function is the set of real
numbers and the range is {f(x)
f(x) > 0 }
Example: In one Cartesian
plane, draw the graph and
determine the domain and
range of each function.

y= x

a. y = x + 2
Simply shift to the
left

b. y = x - 2
Simply shift to the
right

y= x+2
The domain for both
function is the set of all
real numbers

y= x-2
The range for both
function is {y ǀ y > 0
}
Example: In one Cartesian
plane, draw the graph and
determine the domain and
range of each function.

y= x+2

y= x

a. y = x + 2

b. y = x - 2

The absolute sign does
not affect the constant.

y= x -2
The domain for both
function is the set of all
real numbers

The range for both
function is {y ǀ y > -2
}
• Draw the graph of each function. Determine its
domain and range.
