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_forwardSuppose you have a job that pays $8.50 per hour and you work anywhere from 10 to 40 hours per week. a. Write an equation, with a restriction on the variable x, that gives the amount of money, y, you will earn for working x hours in one week. b. Use the function rule you have written in part (a) to complete Table 4. c. Construct a line graph from the information in Table 4. d. State the domain and range of this function.arrow_forwardOTHER APPLICATION Attitude Change Social psychologist have found that as the discrepancy between the view of a speaker and those of an audience increase to a point but decrease when the discrepancy becomes too large particular if the communicator is viewed by the audience as having low credibility, Suppose that the degree of change can be approximated by the function D(x)=x4+8x3+80x2 Where x is the discrepancy between the view of the speaker and those of the audience as measure by score on a question-naira. Find the amount of discrepancy the speaker should aim for to maximize the attitude change in the audience. Source: Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.arrow_forward
- The graph of fx=1/x is a .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_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_forward
