Finally, note that the graphs above are “fatter” and thinner.” When we adjust the window, we change the size of the graph. The standard window [-10, 10], [-10, 10] has a basic problem because the screen is wider than the height giving distortion. The way of fixing that problem is going to the

!

Zoom 6 and then immediately to the

!

Zoom 5: Square view. This is the graph and the window. Note that the ratio of the screen is roughly 3 to 2. If we really wanted a complete curve drawn correctly to scale, we would have to change both the xmin, xmax and ymin, ymax so that they are in the same proportions (doubling them, tripling them, etc.) Normally, we don’t do these steps unless we want true accuracy. Mostly we are just interested in the shape of the graph and where it crosses the x-axis. 1. Graph the equations given in class according to the prescribed windows. a. Equation:

A curve that is symmetric to the x-axis is the same on either side of the x-axis. Anything in quadrant 1 is reflected into quadrant IV and vice versa. Anything in quadrant II is reflected to quadrant III and vice versa. A curve that is symmetric to the y-axis is the same on either side of the y-axis. Anything in quadrant 1 is reflected into quadrant II and vice versa. Anything in quadrant III is reflected to quadrant IV and vice versa. A curve that is symmetric to the origin is the same on either side of the origin. Anything in quadrant 1 is reflected into quadrant III and vice versa. Anything in quadrant II is reflected to quadrant IV and vice versa.

Symmetry check for x-axis symmetry: replacing every occurrence of y with –y yields an equivalent equation. Symmetry check for y-axis symmetry: replacing every occurrence of x with -x yields an equivalent equation. Symmetry check for origin symmetry: replacing every occurrence of x with –x AND y with -y yields an equivalent equation. If an equation is symmetric both to the x-axis and y-axis, it is automatically symmetric to the origin. But if an equation is symmetric to the origin, it is not necessarily symmetric to either the x or y axis. 2. Check the symmetry of the following and verify using the calculator. a.

domain allowable values of x in the function. Assume the domain of a function is all real numbers with the following exceptions:

- any x value which creates a zero in the denominator - any x value which creates a square root (or even root of a negative number. Any graphs with holes, vertical asymptotes, or gaps restrict the domain. range allowable values of y in the function. Assume the range of a function is all real numbers

with the following exceptions: We usually are more interested in the domain than the range.

- squares always create positive numbers. - square (or even) roots are always positive. - absolute values always create positive numbers

When analyzing domain and range, we can examine the functions from a graphical point of view or an algebraic point of view.

2. Domain ( , ) Range ( , )

3. Domain ( , ) Range ( , )

4. Domain ( , ) Range ( , )

5. Domain ( , ) Range ( , )

6. Domain ( , ) Range ( , ) We can also analyze domain from an algebraic point of view. The important thing to remember is that we assume the domain is all real numbers unless there is something to restrict it. Those restrictions usually fall into the categories of fractions with a variable in the denominator or the even roots of expressions. Find the domain of the following:

F. Piecewise Functions and Restricting the Domain

Before we examine how to restrict a domain on the calculator, we have to understand the concept of Boolean operators. First, on your calculator, find the TEST feature. To get to this screen, press, 2nd MATH . You should get the first screen. This screen opens the door to restricting domain. CLEAR and type 5 > 4. To do this, type 5 2nd MATH 3: > 4 ENTER . Your screen should look like the screen on the right. The way the calculator handles this statement is: true statements are valued as 1 while false statements are valued as 0. Since 5 > 4, you end up with 1. Now try 2 < 1. 2 2nd MATH 5 1 ENTER . Since 2 < 1 is a false statement, the calculator gives you a zero. What should this give you? 10 - 8 = 1/.5. Try it. Okay, now we are ready for a restricted domain function. Let’s examine y = 2x, x > 0. To put this into the calculator, go to your Y = screen and 2X/(X 2nd MATH 3:> 0). It looks like this: Go to TBLSET and set your table like this: Now go to TABLE. Let’s interpret this. The calculator starts with x = -3 so it evaluates Y1=2(-3)/(-3>0). Since -3>0 is false and therefore equal to zero, you are evaluating the statement -6/0 which is an error. Note that you will continue to get errors until x = 1. When x = 1, you are evaluating Y1=2(1)/(1>0). Since 1>0 is a true statement and therefore equal to one, you are finding Y1=2/1 = 2. Notice for x being positive numbers, you are always dividing by 1. Now graph the function using ZOOM 6. Values that are errors are not graphed. So you end up with y = 2x, x > 0.

So, now we are ready to try a piecewise function. Let’s try the first problem:

!

y =x + 2,x "1

x # 2,x >1

$ % &

We need to put the function in as two separate functions, Y1 and Y2. Put in the function like this and graph:

Page 11: Unit 7 – Graphs and Graphing Utilities - Classwork · 7. Graphing and Graphing Utilities - 1 - - - Stu Schwartz Unit 7 – Graphs and Graphing Utilities - Classwork A. Graphing

7. Graphing and Graphing Utilities - 11 - - www.mastermathmentor.com - Stu Schwartz

Note that you needed to enclose your expressions in parentheses. Note that this curve is not “continuous” because there is a clear break at the value of x = 1. Graph these:

1.

!

y =3x " 2, x < 2

4, x # 2

$ % &

2.

!

y =x

2 " 2, x # 0

To put in a function like this:

!

y =

2x + 7, x < "2

x2 "1,"2 # x < 2

5x "1, x $ 2

%

& '

( '

, you need three functions. Y1 and

Y3 are straightforward. To put in Y2 with its compound statement, you may not do this: While this does not generate an error, it is not what you want. Do this:

You can find the operator “and” in the 2nd MATH LOGIC menu. This is the graph of that piece. So the entire function looks like this and the graph to the right. The problem of continuity needs to be done using calculus limit techniques. Do not trust your eyes using the calculator. When graphs are nearly vertical, the calculator has trouble graphing it. ZOOMING in may or may not confirm the continuity of this function at x = 2.

Finally, when TRACING, realize that there are three separate functions here and if you are tracing at an x-value in which the curve is not defined, no y-value will show. Try these.

Write a piecewise function that describes both lawyers and graph them over 25 hours.

When is lawyer 1 cheaper to hire? When is lawyer 2 cheaper to hire?

G. Absolute Value Curves You have all learned the meaning of the absolute value. The absolute value of an expression makes the expression positive – it strips of the negative sign. However, the true definition of an absolute value is merely a piecewise function:

!

x =x, x " 0

#x, x < 0

$ % &

or expression =expression,expression " 0

#expression,expression < 0

$ % &

Absolute value curves of linear functions form the distinctive “V-shaped curve.”

So, when we graph

!

y = x , we are merely graphing

x, x " 0

#x, x < 0

If we graph

!

y = x " 3 we are looking at

!

y =x " 3, x " 3 # 0

" x " 3( ), x " 3 < 0

$ % &

' & or y =

$ % '

If we graph

!

y = 2x +1 , we are looking at

y =2x +1,2x +1" 0

# 2x +1( ),2x +1 < 0

I. Composition of Functions The concept of composition of functions is to start with a number or variable, apply function one to that variable, and take the answer and apply that answer to function two. It can be shown pictorially. Composition of functions

!

f o g= f g x( )[ ]

x

!

g x( )

!

f g x( )[ ]

!

f o g

g f

A simple example of composition of functions is when you go to the cafeteria and select a meal: Function g is ordered pairs in the form of (student, meal). Function f is in the form of (meal, cost). So

!

f g x( )[ ] will be in the form of (student, cost). Every student who purchases a meal has a cost associated with that meal. The cashier tells the student the cost … the meal itself defined the cost, but in reality is no longer important. That is what you are doing when you find a function composition. 1.

!

f x( ) = x2 + 2x "1, g x( ) = 3x "1, find the following: a)

!

f g 3( )[ ] b)

!

g f 3( )[ ] c)

!

!

f x( ) across the line y = x. • to find

f"1 , switch x and y and solve for y

• do not confuse inverse with reciprocal. “Nouns” ( expressions) have reciprocals while “verbs” (functions) have inverses.
