Graphs of functions
- a. Use a graphing utility to produce a graph of the given function. Experiment with different windows to see how the graph changes on different scales. Sketch an accurate graph by hand after using the graphing utility.
- b. Give the domain of the function.
- c. Discuss interesting features of the function, such as peaks, valleys, and intercepts (as in Example 5).

- Field Trip A class of fourth graders walks to a park on a field trip. The function y=f(t) graphed below gives their distance from school in ft t minutes after they left school. What is the average speed going to the park? How long was the class at the park? How far away is the park? Graph the function y=0.5f(t). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? What is the average speed going to the new park? How far is the new park? Graph the function y=f(t10). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? How does the field trip described by this function differ from the original trip?arrow_forwardSwimming Laps Miyuki practices swimming laps with her team. The function y=f(t) graphed below gives her distance in meters from the starting edge of the pool t seconds after she starts her laps. Describe in words Miyukis swim practice. What is her average speed for the first 30 s? Graph the function y=1.2f(t). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? What is Miyukis new average speed for the first 30 s?arrow_forwardIn these problem you are asked to find a function that models a real-life situation. Use the principles of modeling described in this Focus to help you. Area An isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 8 cm. Find a function that models its area A in term of the length of its base b.arrow_forward
- Titanic At 2:00 p.m. on April 11, 1912, the Titanic left Cobh, Ireland, on her voyage to New York City. At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, having covered only about 2100 miles of the approximately 3400-mile trip. (a) What was the total duration of the voyage in hours? (b) What was the average speed in miles per hour? (c) Write a function relating the distance of the Titanic from New York City and the number of hours traveled. Find the domain and range of the function. (d) Graph the function in part (c).arrow_forwardSwimming Laps Miyuki practices swimming laps with her team. The function y=f(t) graphed below gives her distance (in meters) from the starting edge of the pool t second after she starts her laps. (a) Describe in words Miyuki’s swim practice. What is her average speed for the first 30 s? (b) Graph the function y=1.2(t) .How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? (c) What is Miyuki’s new average speed for the first 30s?arrow_forward
