Lecture 11: Graphs of Functions
DenitionIffis a function with domainA, then thegraphoffis the set of all ordered pairs f(x;f(x))jx2Ag; that is, the graph offis the set of all points (x;y) such thaty=f(x). This is the same as the graph of the equationy=f(x), discussed in the lecture on Cartesian co-ordinates. The graph of a function allows us to translate between algebra and pictures or geometry. A function of the formf(x) =mx+bis called alinear functionbecause the graph of the corresponding equationy=mx+bis a line. A function of the formf(x) =cwherecis a real number (a constant) is calleda constant functionsince its value does not vary asxvaries.ExampleDraw the graphs of the functions:
f(x) = 2; g(x) = 2x+ 1: Graphing functionsAs you progress through calculus, your ability to picture the graph of a functionwill increase using sophisticated tools such as limits and derivatives. The most basic method of getting
a picture of the graph of a function is to use the join-the-dots method. Basically, you pick a few values
ofxand calculate the corresponding values ofyorf(x), plot the resulting pointsf(x;f(x)gand join the dots. ExampleFill in the tables shown below for the functions f(x) =x2; g(x) =x3; h(x) =pxand plot the corresponding points on the Cartesian plane. Join the dots to get a picture of the graph
of each function. xf(x) =x23210 1 23xg(x) =x33210

Getting Information From the Graph of a function
Suppose the following graph shows the distance a runner in a 30 mile race has coveredthours after the
beginning of a race.(a) Approximately how much distance has the runner covered after 1 hour? (b) Approximately how long does it take for the runner to complete the course (30 miles)?Domain and Range on Graph
Thedomainof the functionfis the set of all values ofxfor whichfis dened and this corresponds to all of thex-values on the graph in thexy-plane. Therangeof the functionfis the set of all values f(x) which corresponds to theyvalues on the graph in thexy-plane.ExampleUse the graph shown below to nd the domain and range of the functionf(x) = 3p14x2.-1.0-0.50.51.00.51.01.52.02.53.0
y=31-4x23Graphing Piecewise dened functions
Recall that a piecewise dened function is typically dened by dierent formulas on dierent parts ofits domain. The graph, therefore consists of separate pieces as in the example shown below.We use a solid point at the end of a piece to emphasize that that point is on the graph. For
example, the point (3;3) is on the graph here, whereas the point above it, (3;9), at the end of the portion of the graph ofy=x2is not. We use a circle to denote that a point is excluded. For example the value of this function at 5 is0, therefore the point (5;0) is on the graph as indicated with the solid dot. The point above it on
the liney=x, (5;5), is not on the graph and is excluded from the graph. We indicate this with a circle at the point (5;5). Note that the formulay=1x10does not make sense whenx= 10. Thereforex= 10 is not in the domain of this function. As the values ofxget closer and closer to 10 from above, the values of1x10get larger and larger. Therefore theyvalues on the graph approach +1as we approach
x= 10 from the right. On the other hand the y values on the graph approach1asxapproaches10 from the left. Although there is no point on the graph atx= 10, the (computer generated)
graph shows a vertical line atx= 10. This line is called avertical asymptoteto the graph and we will discuss such asymptotes in more detail in calculus. 4ExampleGraph the piecewise dened function

g(x) =x x <0 x x0 5Graphs of Equations; Vertical Line Test
it is important in calculus to distinguish between the graph of a function and graphs of equations which
are not the graphs of functions. We will develop a technique called implicit dierentiation to allow us
to compute derivatives at ( some) points on the graphs of equations which are not graphs of functions.
It is therefore important to be fully aware of the relationship between graphs of equations and graphs
of functions. Recall that the dening characteristic of a function is that for every point in the domain, we getexactly one corresponding point in the range. This translates to a geometric property of the graph of
the functiony=f(x), namely that for eachxvalue on the graph we have a unique correspondingy value. This in turn is equivalent to the statement that if a vertical line of the formx=acuts the graph ofy=f(x), it cuts it exactly once. Therefore we get a geometric property which characterizes the graphs of functions: Vertical Line PropertyA curve in thexy-plane is the graph of a function if and only if no vertical line intersects the curve more than once.Recall that the graph of an equation inxandyis the set of all points (x;y) in the plane which satisfy
the equation. For example the graph of the equationx2+y2= 1 is the unit circle (circle of radius 1centered at the origin).-1.0-0.50.51.0-1.0-0.50.51.0x2+y2=1If we can solve foryuniquely in terms ofxin the given equation, we can rearrange the equation to look
likey=f(x) for some function ofx. Rearranging the equation does not change the set of points whichsatisfy the equation, that is, it does not alter the graph of the equation. Sobeing able to solve for
yuniquely in terms ofxis the algebraic equivalent of the graph of the equation being thegraph of a function. This is equivalent to the graph of the equation having the vertical line property
given above.Vertical Line TestThe graph of an equation is the graph of a function (or equivalently if we can solve
foryuniquely in terms ofx) if no vertical line cuts the curve more than once. More generally, this applies to graphs given in pieces which may be the graph of a piecewise denedfunction. One or several curves in thexyplane form the graph of a function (possibly piecewise dened)
if no vertical line cuts the collection of curves more than once. 6ExampleWhich of the following curves are graphs of functions?-4-224-1.5-1.0-0.50.51.01.52Hx2+y2L2=25Hx2-y2L-10-5510-1123452Hx+y3L=25Hx2-y3LLet us see what happens if we try to solve foryin an equation which describes a curve which does not
pass the vertical line test. If we try to solve foryin terms ofxin the equation x2+y2= 25
we get 2 new equations y=p25x2andy=p25x2: The graph of the equationx2+y2= 25 is a circle centered at the origin (0;0) with radius 5 and theabove two equations describe the upper and lower halves of the circle respectively.642-2-4-55x2 + y2 = 2542-2-4-6-5510gx() = -25 - x2642-2-4-6-5510fx() = 25 - x2The graphs of the upper and lower halves of the circle are the graphs of functions, but the circle itself
is not. 7Here is a catalogue of basic functions, the graphs of which you should memorize for future reference:
