Workshop - Math Function - Slopes Precalculus - Chapter 1 - Functions and Changes |
1. Sketch the following functions:
2. Clear identify the regions of the graphs where the functions increasing or decreasing
3. Have slopes = 0
4. Identify where the functions crosses the y-axis (x = 0) and y-axis (or y-intercept, y = 0).
5.Determine the vaues of the function at x = 5 and x = -5.
Function | Region(s) Increasing | Region(s) Decreasing | Zero Slope | x-intercept(s) | y-intercept | y when x = -5 | y when x = 5 |
(a) y = | x - 2| | x > 2 | x < 2 | none | x = 2 | y = 2 | 7 | 3 |
(b) | none | x < 25 | none | x = 25 | y = 5 | +/- 5 | +/- Sqrt(20) |
(c) | x> 25 | none | none | x = 25 | none | none | none |
(d) | x > 0 | x < 0 | x = 0 | x = -3 and 3 | y = -9 | 16 | 16 |
(e) | x < 0 | x > 0 | x = 0 | x = -3 and 3 | y = 9 | -16 | -16 |
(f) | x > 9 | x < 9 | x = 9 | x = 9 | y = 81 | 196 | 16 |
(g) | x > 9 | x < 9 | x = 9 | x = 9 | y = 81 | 196 | 16 |
(h) | None | All except x = 0 | None | None | None | y = -1/15 | y = 1/5 |
(i) | x < 0 | x > 0 | None | None | None | 1/25 | 1/25 |
(j) | all values | none | none | none | y = 1 | 0.00327 | 306.0197 |
(k) y = 5x | all values | none | none | x = 0 | y = 0 | -25 | 25 |
(a) y = | x - 2| | (b) |
(c) | (d) |
(e) | (f) |
(g) | (h) |
