Graph Functions
1. The problem asks to graph three different functions and determine several properties: x-intercepts, y-intercepts, domain, range, maxima or minima, and the number of solutions.
2. Since the functions are not specified, let's illustrate with three sample functions:
1) $$f(x) = x^2 - 4$$
2) $$g(x) = \sin(x)$$
3) $$h(x) = \frac{1}{x}$$
3. For each function, we analyze as follows:
**Function 1: $$f(x) = x^2 - 4$$**
- X-intercepts where $$f(x) = 0$$:
$$x^2 - 4 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 = 4 \Rightarrow x = \pm 2$$
So, intercepts at $(-2,0)$ and $(2,0)$.
- Y-intercept where $$x=0$$:
$$f(0) = 0^2 - 4 = -4$$
So, y-intercept at $(0,-4)$.
- Domain:
$$\text{All real numbers } (-\infty, \infty)$$
- Range:
Since it is a parabola opening upwards with vertex at $(0,-4)$, range is
$$[-4, \infty)$$
- Minimum point:
Vertex at $(0,-4)$ is the minimum point.
- Number of solutions to $$f(x) = 0$$:
Two solutions, $x = -2, 2$.
**Function 2: $$g(x) = \sin(x)$$**
- X-intercepts:
$$\sin(x)=0 \implies x = n\pi, n \in \mathbb{Z}$$
- Y-intercept:
$$g(0) = 0$$
- Domain:
All real numbers $(-\infty, \infty)$
- Range:
$$[-1,1]$$
- Maxima and minima:
Max at $(\frac{\pi}{2} + 2n\pi, 1)$
Min at $(\frac{3\pi}{2}+ 2n\pi, -1)$
- Number of solutions to $$g(x) = 0$$:
Infinitely many solutions at integer multiples of $\pi$.
**Function 3: $$h(x) = \frac{1}{x}$$**
- X-intercept:
Solve $$\frac{1}{x} = 0$$ no solution (function never zero).
- Y-intercept:
Undefined at $x=0$, so no y-intercept.
- Domain:
$$(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$$
- Range:
$$(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$$
- No maxima or minima.
- Number of solutions to $$h(x)=0$$:
Zero solutions.
4. To graph these, use any graphing tool like DESMOS or GeoGebra by entering the respective functions.
5. Printing: After graphing, use the print or export function in the app to obtain a physical or digital copy.
These steps help understand key properties of different function types and how technology aids graphing and analysis.
