By the end of this lesson we will introduce the terminology that is used to describe functions These include: Domain, Range, Continuity, Discontinuity, upper and lower bound, Local and absolute maximums and minimums, and asymptotes
4
The domain of a function is all of the possible x-values the function can have. It can be expressed as an inequality The Range of a function is all of the possible y-values the function can have. It is also expressed as an inequality
5
Domain: All Real Numbers Range: All Real Numbers Domain: x> -1 Range: x>-5
6
A graph has continuity if its graph is connected to itself throughout infinity. There are no asymptotes or holes in the graph A Graph has removable discontinuity if its graph has a hole where one x value was removed from the domain A graph has infinite discontinuity if its graph has an asymptote that can not be replaced with only one value
7
Jump Discontinuity Removable Discontinuity
8
A function is bounded above or below if the graph’s range doesn’t extend past a certain point above or below. A function is “Bounded” if the function’s range doesn’t extend below or above certain points If the function has no restrictions on its range’s extent the function is considered “unbounded”
9
This sine function is bounded above and below at 1 and -1
10
A Local Maximum/Minimum of a function is the highest/lowest point of the range in the surrounding window of the graph The absolute maximum/minimum of a function is the highest/lowest point of the entire range of the graph
11
Local Min: 3, -4, 4 Local Max: 5 Absolute Max: None (Graph goes infinitely upward) Absolute Min: -4
12
A horizontal asymptote is a part of the function which gets infinitely close to a Y- value but never touches it A Vertical asymptote is a part of the function which gets infinitely close to a x- value but never touches it
13
Identify any horizontal or vertical asymptotes of the graph of You would first start by foiling the denominator… = (x+1)(x-2) This means that the graph has vertical asymptotes of x=-1 and x=2 Because the denominator’s power is bigger than the numerator’s, y = 0 no matter what the value of x is Now you have x/((x+1)(x-2)) = 0 This means that the horizontal asymptote is zero
