3.3.1: Identifying Key Features of Linear and Exponential Graphs

http://walch.com/wu/CAU3L3S1BikeErrands

The graph below represents Kim’s distance from home one day as she rode her bike to meet friends and to do a couple of errands for her mom before returning home.

1. Use the graph to describe Kim’s journey.

2. What do the horizontal lines on the graph represent?

1. Use the graph to describe Kim’s journey.• Answers will vary. One possible response: Kim rode her

bike to her friend’s house. She stayed at her friend’s house for a while. Then she left her friend’s house and rode to a store, which is even farther away from her house. She stayed at the store for a short time and bought a couple of items. Kim then headed back toward her house, stopping once more to take a picture of a beautiful statue along the way. She then biked the rest of the way back home.

2. What do the horizontal lines represent in the graph? • The horizontal lines represent times when Kim stayed

at one location. Her distance from home did not change, but time continued to pass.

Identifying Key Features of a Linear Function

Domain and Range:Domain: all possible input valuesRange: all possible output values

Example: Domain: 1, 2, 3 Range: 4, 5, 6


Intercepts:X-intercept: The place on the x-axis

where the graph crosses the axis.-Ordered pair: (x, 0)


Intercepts:X-intercept: The place on the x-axis

where the graph crosses the axis.-Ordered pair: (x, 0)

Example 2: y = x + 20 = x +2-2 = x

x-intercept: (-2, 0)


Intercepts:y-intercept: The place on the y-axis

where the graph crosses the axis-Ordered pair: (0, y)


Intercepts:y-intercept: The place on the y-axis

where the graph crosses the axis-Ordered pair: (0, y)

Example 2: y = x + 2y = 0 +2y = 2

y-intercept: (0, 2)


Increasing or Decreasing????

Increasing: A function is said to increase if while the values for x increase as well as the values for y increase. (Both x and y increase)


Increasing or Decreasing????

Decreasing: A function is said to decrease if one of the variables increases while the other variable decreases. (Ex: x increases, but y decreases)


Intervals:An interval is a continuous series of values. (Continuous means “having no breaks”.)We use two different types of notation for intervals: 1. Brackets ( ) or [ ]

Ex: [0, 3] and 0< x < 3 both mean all values between 0 and 3 inclusive

2. inequality symbols ≤, ≥, <, >Non-inclusive Inclusive


Intervals:A function is positive when its graph is above

the x-axis.A function is negative when its graph is

below the x-axis.

Identifying Key Features of a Graph

The function is positive when x > ?

When x ≥ 4! Or [4, ∞)

Identifying Key Features of a Graph

The function is negative when x < ?

When x < 4! Or (-∞, 4)


Extrema:A relative minimum is the point that is the lowest,

or the y-value that is the least for a particular interval of a function.

A relative maximum is the point that is the highest, or the y-value that is the greatest for a particular interval of a function.

Linear functions will only have a relative minimum or maximum if the domain is restricted.

Identifying Rate of Change

Rate of Change:Rate of change or Slope is found by using the

following equation:

Or by reading the rise over the run from a graph.

Example 1:

Guided PracticeExample 1• A taxi company in Atlanta

charges $2.75 per ride plus $1.50 for every mile driven. Determine the key features of this function.

Identify the following:1. Type of function2. Domain and Range3. Y-intercept4. Intervals of Increasing

or Decreasing 5. Extrema6. Rate of Change

Example 2:

A gear on a machine turns at a rate of 3 revolutions per second. Identify the key features of the graph of this function.



Example 3:

An online company charges $5.00 a month plus $2.00 for each movie you decide to download.

Identify the following:1. Type of function2. Domain and Range3. Y-intercept4. Intervals of Increasing or

Decreasing 5. Extrema6. Rate of Change

Example 4:A ringtone company charges $15 a month plus $2 for each ringtone downloaded. Create a graph and then determine the key features of this function.



You Try 1The starting balance of Adam’s savings account is $575. Each

month, Adam deposits $60.00. Adam wants to keep track of his deposits so he creates the following equation: f(x) = 60x + 575, where x = number of months.



You Try 2The cost of an air conditioner is $110. The cost to run the air conditioner is $0.35 per minute. The table below represents this relationship. Graph and identify the key features of this function.
