Concept explainers
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).

- Use your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find real-life applications of approximations of functions.arrow_forwardThe circumference C of a circle is a function of its radius given by C(r)=2r. Express the radius of a circle as a function of its circumference. Call this function r(C) , Find r(36) and interpret its meaning,arrow_forwardHow do the graphs of the functions f(x)=x2 and f(x)=x21 differ? We graphed them at the start of this section. What is the difference between their graphs? How are their graphs the same?arrow_forward
- Use the graph of the function f to find (a) the domain of f, (b) the function values f(0) and f(3) and (c) the range of f.arrow_forwardWhen examining the formula of a function that is the result of multiple transformations, how can you tell a horizontal shift from a vertical shift?arrow_forwardThe graph of f(x)=3x is reflected about the y-axisand stretched verticallyby a factor of 4. What isthe equation of the new function, g(x) ? State itsy-intercept, domain, and range.arrow_forward
