that you have probably seen the most tn previous uears is y=muctc :

properties aout ee Vinee zc changes, y changes by fuer! &. gradients = 32 = BEE

find y-tnborcepts. In any y=mx+c, a Yyomle)#e , $0 we & a ypinbereepe,

can sukiply everything by the denominator bo get integer coefficients.

NOTATION/H The tuo main versions of writing a function will be: y=4x-3
or f(X)=4x-3. This takes aay x volue, multiplies ik +, and subtracts 3.
For example , F(2)=4(2)-3=5. But, as usual , you may use any Letters
for variables , such og a ‘Velociby-time’ function like vit) = 3t*+ Ze.
Domain /eAnce|'> An important detail about functions is Knowing what set of
X values You are able to plug in- the domacn, and which y values are possible
bo get ouk of the funchion - the range. The things that may restrict the domain
tnduide that: you con't divide by zero, you ‘can't do! the square root of a
negotive , and you can’t do a log f O or a negative. The range. essentially

Inverse/> We have seen how a regular function tums x's into y’s. The
inverse of a function tums those y values back into thecr respective a values,
reversing the opertions, To find these , we can switch x2y, then make y the
subject again. Then write ik with the notation: $'@) =linverse funchion]

1~ key Features of Graphs ee
Lid
dh You may well be asked to dius or sketch the graphs of Mt
functions. Drawing Should be as accurate os possible, including all relevant
gfoph features. Sketching should just give a general idea of the shape,
with some features, depending on how He question is phrased, and what
type of function & asked for.
FEATURES Here we can define the jain tupes of graph features :
Moxinus/ Minimum values /> Timing points’ of tne grog: as «
Intercepts b Uonere the gmnph crosses tre x-axis or the y-axis, .
Line of syrmetry A> Mainly reganling quodsatics , self-explanatory /
Vertex /> Mox. or in. points for quadratic function.
eles, toots/> Where y=O, i.e.: Une 2c-intercepts,
Asymptotes > A Line that a graph will get infinitely close to but will
never touch, as the x or y tends to infinity.

con use x= fa (see 2G for Aka, ZR for Au), otherwise use a GDC.
