Graphs of Functions
Obtaining Information from GraphsA closed dot indicates that the graph does not extend beyond this point and the point belongs to the graph.
An open dot indicates that the graph does not extend beyond this point and the point does not belong to the graph.
An arrow indicates that the graph extends indefinitely in the direction in which the arrow points.
