f(x) = x2
Read: “f of x equals x squared”
Function notation is an efficient way to talk about functions
Is a Relation a Function?
Table/Mapping Check – repeats in domain (x)?
Graph Check – vertical line hits one or fewer points on the graph?
• A relation is a function if there is only one output for any of its inputs (i.e. an x input can only lead to one y output)

Domain and Range of a Function
• Domain– Inputs in a Table or Mapping– Independent Variable (x) on a Graph
• How far left and right my function goesx
f(x)• Range– Outputs in a Table or Mapping– Dependent Variable (y) on a Graph
• How far up and down my function goes
All Real #s
Domain and Range of a Function
• Domain: {-1, 0, 1, 2}• Range: {0, 1, 4}

• Range:
• Domain:
The farthest up/down the graph goes
The farthest left/right the graph goes
With continuous
functions, domain and
range are expressed in
interval notation.

Using Function Notation• Function notation is used to represent relations which are
functions. Finding f(-2), for example, is the same as evaluating an expression for x = -2.
Example: f(x) = 3x – 1; find f(-2)
Solution: f(-2) =
• The same substitution process can be used to complete a function table.
x f(x) = 3x + 5 f(x)

The inputs x arethe domain; theoutputs f(x) are the range
3(-2) – 1 = -6 – 1 = -7
3(-2) + 5 = -6 + 5
3(-1) + 5 = -3 + 5
3(0) + 5 = 0 + 5
3(1) + 5 = 3 + 5

Graphing Basic Functions• Graphing parent functions for linear, absolute
value, quadratic, square root, cubic, and rational functions
• Introduction to transformations
Linear & Absolute Value Functions
• f(x) = x • f(x) = |x|
Domain: All Real #s Range: All Real #s
Domain: All Real #s Range: y is greater than or
equal to 0
Quadratic & Square Root Functions
• f(x) = x2 • f(x) = x
Domain: All Real #s Range: y is greater than or
equal to 0
Domain: x is greater than or equal to 0
Range: y is greater than or equal to 0
Cubic & Rational Functions
• f(x) = x3 • f(x) =x
1
Domain: All Real #s Range: All Real #s
Domain: All Real #s except x cannot equal 0
Range: All Real #s except y cannot equal 0
Parent Graphs on the Move• Translation up
Domain: All Real #s Range: y is greater than or
equal to -3
Domain: All Real #s Range: All Real #s
• Translation down
f(x) = x3 + 1
f(x) = |x| – 3
Vertical Stretch and Shrink• Coefficients determine the shape of a graph; a coefficient
outside the function results in a vertical stretch or shrink
f(x) = 3x2
Vertical stretch by 3(rises three
times as fast)
f(x) = ½x2
Vertical shrink by 2(rises half
as fast)
3f(x) is vertically stretched by 3 ½ f(x) is vertically shrunk by 2
Domain: All Real #s; Range: y is greater than or equal to 0
Domain: All Real #s; Range: y is greater than or equal to 0
Reflections of a Function• The sign of a coefficient indicates whether it is reflected across
the x-axis or y-axis
-f(x) is reflected across the x-axis f(-x) is reflected across the y-axis
f(x) = -|x| f(x) = x
Domain: All Real #sRange: y is less than or
equal to 0
Domain: x is greater than or equal to 0Range: y is less than or equal to 0
Multiple Transformations• These transformations can occur together with changes to the
coefficient and what is added or subtracted to the function
f(x) = - ½ (x )2 + 3
Parent function: x2
(quadratic)
Reflect down
Vertical shrink by 2
Shift up 3
Domain: All Real #sRange: y is less than or equal to 3
Multiple Transformation Practice• Write the function for
the graph below• Graph the following
function
f(x) = -2(x )2 + 4f(x) = 3(x )2 – 3
Domain: All Real #sRange: y is greater than
or equal to 3
Domain: All Real #sRange: y is less than or
equal to 4
Function Characteristics• Analyzing graphs by determining domain, range,
zeros, intercepts, intervals of increase and decrease, maximums and minimums, and end behavior
Analyzing Functions• Domain: how far left and right?• Range: how far up and down?• Zeros: x-intercepts – where does
the function intersect the x-axis? • Intercepts: zeros and y-intercepts• Intervals of decrease and
increase: where does the function go up and where does it go down?
• Maximums and Minimums: what’s the highest and/or lowest the function goes?
• End Behavior: as inputs approach infinity, what happens to the function?
Does this function EVER
stop?!
Analyzing Functions:Domain and Range
• Domain: all real numbers in the input

LINEAR

Analyzing Functions:Maximums and Minimums
• Maximum: the highest point of the graph– For example, a cannon is shot into
the air. The maximum is where it changes from going up to going down (i.e. the highest it goes)
• Minimum: the lowest point of the graph– For example, a stock broker is
watching the market searching for a good time to buy Alpha-Bit stocks. She looks for a stock that appears to have reached a low cost and is about to begin to increase in value.
