In Section 2.6. we will learn additional techniques to graph functions by recognizing characteristics of the functions. In many cases, we can also graph families of functions by relating them to one of several basic graphs.To prepare for the discussion in Section 2.6, use a graphing utility or plot points to graph the basic functions in Exercises 18.
1.
Tograph: plot the graph for the basic function
