    Analyzing Graphs of

    Functions and Relations


    Objectives:

    • Use graphs of functions to estimate function values and find domains,

    ranges, y-intercepts, and zeros of functions.

    • Explore symmetries of graphs, and identify even and odd functions.


    Analyzing Function Graphs

    The graph of a function f is the set of ordered pairs (x, f (x)) such that x is in the

    domain of f. In other words, the graph of f is the graph of the equation y=f(x). So,

    the value of the function is the directed distance y of the graph from the point x on

    the x-axis as shown.

    You can use a graph to estimate function values.


    Real-World Example 1 Estimate Function Values

    a. Use the graph to estimate total Internet advertising revenue in 2007. Confirm the estimate algebraically.

    b. Use the graph to estimate the year in which total Internet advertising revenue reached $2 billion.
    Confirm the estimate algebraically
    GuidedPractice
    1. STOCKS An investor assessed the average daily value of a share of a certain stock over a
    20-day period. The value of the stock can be approximated by v(d)=0.002d4-0.11d3+1.77d2-8.6d+31, 0≤d≤20,
    where d represents the day of the assessment

    A. Use the graph to estimate the value of the stock on the 10th day.
    Confirm your estimate algebraically.
    B. Use the graph to estimate the days during which the stock was
    valued at $30 per share. Confirm your estimate algebraically
    Example 2
    Find Domain and Range
    Use the graph of f to find the domain and range of the function.

    Domain

    Range
    Guided Practice
    Use the graph of g to find the domain and range of each function.
    A point where a graph intersects or meets the x- or y-axis is called an intercept. An x-intercept of a
    graph occurs where y = 0. A y-intercept of a graph occurs where x = 0. The graph of a function can
    have 0, 1, or more x-intercepts, but at most one y-intercept.
    Example 3 Find y-Intercepts
    Use the graph of each function to approximate its y-intercept. Then find the y-intercept algebraically.
    Guided Practice
    GuidedPractice
    The x-intercepts of the graph of a function are also called the zeros of a function. The solutions of
    the corresponding equation are called the roots of the equation. To find the zeros of a function f, set
    the function equal to 0 and solve for the independent variable.
    Example 4 Find Zeros
    Use the graph of f(x)=2x2+x-15 to approximate its zero(s). Then find its zero(s) algebraically.
    GuidedPractice
    Use the graph of each function to approximate its zero(s). Then find its zero(s) algebraically.
    Symmetry of Graphs Graphs of relations can have two different types of symmetry.
    Graphs with line symmetry can be folded along a line so that the two halves match
    exactly.
    Graphs that have point symmetry can be rotated 180° with respect to a point and
    appear
    unchanged. The three most common types of symmetry are shown below
    Study Tip
    Symmetry, Relations, and Functions
    There are numerous relations that have x-axis, y-axis, and origin symmetry. However, the only function that
    has all three types of symmetry is the zero function, f(x)=0.
    Example 5 Test for Symmetry
    Use the graph of each equation to test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, and the origin. Support
    the answer numerically. Then confirm algebraically.

    Example 6 Identify Even and Odd Functions
    GRAPHING CALCULATOR
    Graph each function. Analyze the graph to determine whether each function is even, odd, or neither. Confirm
    algebraically. If odd or even, describe the symmetry of the graph of the function.
