Features of Functions

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a graph intersects the y-axis. It is represented as (0, y).

Front

What does it mean for a graph to be decreasing?

Back

A graph is decreasing on an interval if, as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease.

Front

What does it mean for a graph to be constant?

Back

A graph is constant on an interval if the y-values remain the same as the x-values change.

Front

What are x-intercepts?

Back

X-intercepts are the points where a graph intersects the x-axis, represented as (x, 0).

Front

What is a minimum point on a graph?

Back

A minimum point is the lowest point on a graph within a given interval.

Front

What is a maximum point on a graph?

Back

A maximum point is the highest point on a graph within a given interval.

Front

How do you determine the interval of increase for a graph?

Back

The interval of increase is determined by identifying where the y-values rise as the x-values increase.

Front

How do you determine the interval of decrease for a graph?

Back

The interval of decrease is determined by identifying where the y-values fall as the x-values increase.

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.
