2.4 Graphs of Functions
The graph of a function is the graph of its ordered pairs.

graphing utility. You can use it to create
tables of coordinates for a function. You
will need to enter the equation of the
function and sepcify the starting value for

Ex 1: Graphing a Function by Plotting Points
Graph the function: ( ) 2f x x
Hint: To do so, use integer values of x from
the set {0,1,4,9,16,25} to obtain six ordered
pairs. Plot each ordered pair and draw a
smooth curve through the points. Use the graph
to specify the function's domain and range.

Solution Contd.
Now we plot the six points and draw a smoth
curve through them. The points on the graph
of have -coordinates that start at zero and
extend indefinitely far to the right. Thus, the
domain consists of al

l real numbers greater
than or equal to 0, represented by [0, ).

Solution Contd.
Similarly, the points on the graph have
-coordinates that start at 2 and extend
indefinitely upward. Thus, the range
consists of all real numbers greater

Obtaining Information From Graphs
You can obtain information about a function from its graph. At the right or left of a graph, you will find closed dots, open dots, or arrows.
An arrow indicates that the graph extends indefinitely in the direction in which the arrow points.
![Page 15: 2.4 Graphs of Functions](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56812bce550346895d902829/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Obtaining Information From Graphs A closed dot indicates that the
graph does not extend beyond this point and the point belongs to the graph.
An open dot indicates that the graph does not extend beyond this point and the point does not belong to the graph.
![Page 16: 2.4 Graphs of Functions](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56812bce550346895d902829/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ex 2: Obtaining Information From a Function’s Graph
Use the graph of the function to answer
the following questions.
a. What are the function values ( 1),
(0) and (1)?
b. What is the domain of ?
c. What is the range of ?

Solution of part a.
Because ( 1,4), (0,3), and (1,0)
are points on the graph of ,
the -coordinate, 4 is the ( 1),
the -coordinate, 3 is the (0), and
the -coordinate, 0 is the (1).

Solution of part b.The arrow on the left shows that the
graph extends indefinitely to left.
The close dot on the right shows that
2 is in the domain of and does
not extend beyond this point. Thus, the
domain of is {

Solution of part c.
The points on the graph all have
-coordinates from to 4,
including 4. The graph does not
extends above 4.
Thus, the range of is { | 4}
or the interval ( , 4].

The Vertical Line Test
If any vertical line intersects a graph in more than one point, the graph does not define y as a function of x.
![Page 21: 2.4 Graphs of Functions](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56812bce550346895d902829/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

the function is even. If every term on the right
changes sign, the function is odd.
