Characteristics of Graphs:


Domain- x values

Range- y values

End behavior-Describes whats happens to a graph on "both" ends

Absolute Max/Min- Highest/Lowest point

Local Max/Min-More than 1 high/low point

Interval Increasing-what happens to a graph ( y values) as you move along x axis if y values are up along x axis if y values are down.

Interval of Decrease- what happens to a graph as you move down along x-axis if y values are down.

X-Intercept-(a,o)

Y-Intercept-(b,o)

Symmetry- even= symmetric about the y-axis.

Even/Odd-add-symmetric about the y axis. If its neither then its none.

Asymptotes- imagery line that a graph gets closer and closer but never touch.

Function: describing what happens to a graph 

One to One: passes both vertical and horizontal line test
