Function Identification: Determine if the following relations represent a function (each input having exactly one output): - 1. : Identified as a function. - 2. : Identified as a function. - 3. : Identified as a function. - 4. : Not a function (describes an ellipse). - 5. Set of Ordered Pairs: . This is a function. - 6. Set of Ordered Pairs: . This is not a function because the input is mapped to both and . - Graphs (7-10): Visual identification of functions using the vertical line test. Results vary (e.g., Problem 7 is not a function, Problem 8 is a function, Problem 9 is not a function).
Key Features of Function Graphs
For any given function (specifically referenced as , , and in problems 18, 19, and 20), the following features must be analyzed:
- Domain and Range: The sets of all possible input and output values respectively.
- Intercepts: Identify both -intercepts (points where the graph crosses the horizontal axis) and -intercepts (points where the graph crosses the vertical axis).
- Local Maxima and Minima: Identify the input values where the function reaches a relative high or low point. Explicitly state whether the point is a minimum or maximum.
- Absolute Maxima and Minima: Identify the absolute highest and lowest output values over the entire domain.
- Parity (Even, Odd, or Neither): - Even: Symmetry respect to the -axis (). - Odd: Symmetry respect to the origin ().
- Interval Behaviors: Identify intervals on the -axis where the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant.
