Unit 1B Test Review

Constant Function

f(x) = c

Linear Function

f(x) = x

Quadratic (Square) Function

f(x) = x²

Cubic Function

f(x) = x³

Square Root Function

f(x) = √x

Cube Root Function

f(x) = ∛x

Absolute Value Function

f(x) = |x|

Reciprocal Function

f(x) = 1/x

Absolute Maximum

The highest point on the entire graph of a function within its domain.

Absolute Minimum

The lowest point on the graph of a function within its domain.

Local Maximum

A point on the graph where the function has a higher value than at any nearby points.

Local Minimum

A point where the function has a lower value than any nearby points.

X-intercept(s)

Found by setting f(x) = 0. The points where the graph crosses the x-axis (where y=0)

Y-intercept

Found by setting f(x) = 0. The point where the graph crosses the y-axis (where x=0).

Interval of Increase

Where the function values are rising as x moves rightward.

Interval of Decrease

Where the function values are falling as x moves rightward.

Constant Interval

An interval where the function remains the same (flat) and does not increase or decrease

Even Function

Symmetrical across the y-axis; f(-x) = f(x)

Odd Function

Origin Symmetry (rotates 180° around the origin), opposite inputs create opposite outputs; f(−x) = −f(x)

How can you tell if a function is even?

Check if the function is mirrored across the y-axis.

How can you tell if a function is odd?

Visualize rotating the graph 180 degrees around the origin.
