  1. A Function Family Album f(x)

  2. Kinds of Functions Names Graphs • Linear • Constant • Identity • Quadratic • Cubic • Exponential • And many more! • Straight Line • Horizontal Line • Slanted Line • Parabola • Half Parabola • Twisted Parabola

  3. How can you tell if it is Linear? • Graph is a non-vertical straight line • No exponents higher than one • No operations except addition, subtraction, and multiplication • No variables multiplied together • No variables in a denominator • Must be able to put it in the form f(x) = mx + b (where b is a constant and m is a coefficient) The first number is obviously 4

  4. Is it Linear? Why or why not? • f(x) = 4x² + 4 • g(x) = ½ x – 9 • r(x) = √x + 3 • k(x) = kx – 7 • x = 6

  5. Ways to Describe Linear Functions Term Definition • Domain • Range • Y –Intercept • Slope • All Real Numbers • All Real Numbers (unless horizontal line) • Point where line crosses the y- axis • Change in Y/Change in X The second number is obviously 7

  6. Graphing a Linear Function • Example: f(x) = 2x + 4

  7. Two Kinds of Linear Equations Identity Function Constant Function • Parent Function: f(x) = x • Graph: slanted line • Domain: All Real Numbers • Range: All Real Numbers • Y-Intercept: constant • Slope : coefficient of x • Parent Function: f(x) = c • Graph: horizontal line • Domain: All Real Numbers • Range: c • Y-Intercept: c • Slope : zero The third number is obviously 5

  8. Describe the Linear Function • Domain? • Range? • Y-Intercept? • Slope? • Equation? All Real Numbers (-∞, +∞) All Real Numbers (-∞, +∞) 3 3/4 g(x) = ¾ x + 3
