Shape of an y=1/x graph.
2 separate graphs - 1 in Q1 & 1 in Q4 curved like a C No Origin - HA @ x=0 & VA @ y=0
T or F : Since the graph does not intersect the y-axis at any point, there is no y-intercept.
True
Shape of an y=(-x^2) graph
U facing downwards Origin @ (0,0) - (-2,-4) (2,-4)
Shape of an y=x^2 graph
U facing upwards because it is positive Origin @ (0,0) - (2,4) (-2,4)
Shape of an y=lxl (absolute value) graph
V facing upwards Origin @ (0,0) - (1,1) (2,2)
What is an x-intercept? Y-intercept?
X-intercept: Point where the graph intersects the x-axis. (x-coordinate of that point) Y-intercept : Point where the graph intersects the y-axis. (y-coordinate of that point)
In the rectangular coordinate system, the point of intersection of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis is called the _________.
origin
The axes of the rectangular coordinate system divide the plane into regions called _______. There are _______ of these regions.
quadrants / 4
The ordered pair (4,19) is a/an _______ of the equation y=x^2+3 because when 4 is substituted for x and 19 is substituted for y, the result is a true statement. Thus, it can be said that (4,19) _______ the equation.
solution / satisfies
In the rectangular coordinate system, the horizontal number line is called the _______.
x-axis
The first number in an ordered pair such as (2,8) is called the ________. The second number in such an ordered pair is called the ____________.
x-coordinate / y-coordinate
The x-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the x-axis is called a/an _______. The y-coordinate of such a point is always _______.
x-intercept / 0
In the rectangular coordinate system, the vertical number line is called the _______.
y-axis
The y-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the y-axis is called a/an _______. The x-coordinate of such a point is always _______.
y-intercept / 0
Express Mathematically : The y-value is five more than four times the x-value.
y=4x+5
The y-value is four increased by the square of the x-value.
y=x^2+4
How do you know if the formula overestimates or underestimates the graph?
Compare the data, if the formulas number is higher the formula overestimates the graph's data.
Shape of an y=x^3 graph
Curve constantly increasing Origin @ (0,0) - (1,1) (-1,-1) (2, 9) (-2,-9)
How do you find an x-intercept? Y-intercept?
Scan the x-axis (horizontal) until you find a point that the line of the graph passes through. Ex: 3. Scan the y-axis (vertical) until you find a point that the line of the graph passes through. Ex: -2
