Graphs of function Def's A function f is increasing on an open interval (a,b) if and only if for all x1 < x2 in the interval, we have f(x) < f (x2). A function f is decreasing on an open interval (a,b) if and only if for all x1 < x2 in the interval, we have f(x) > f (x2).
on an open interval (a,b), for all x1 < x2 in the interval if and only if for all x1, x2 e (a,b) we have F(x1) = F(x2) Increasing: (-oo, -1) Decreasing: (-1, 1/2) Constant: (1,3)
A function f has a relative maximum at n, if and only if there exists an open interval (a,b) containing n, such that, for all x1e (a,b) where x1 =/= n, we have f(n) > f(x1) A function f has a relative minimum at n, if and only if there exists an open interval (a,b) containing n, such that, for all x1e (a,b) where x1 =/= n, we have f(n) < f(x1)
A) At what numbers does f have relative maximum? B) What are the relative maximum>
C) w/ minimum D) w/ minimum
A function f is even if and only, for all x, f (-x) = f(x). A function f is odd if and only if, for all x, f(-x)=-f(x) Motivation: Ex: f(x)= x4+3x2+2 f(-x)= (-x)4+3(x)2+1n f(-x)= x4+
Slope: The slope of a line, through ponts (x,y) + (x2,y2) rise over run Point-slope form of a line. m=y-y2 y-y2=m(x-x2) x-x2
