Document Summary

Provide a generalization to each of the key terms listed in this section. Linear functions are functions, which are normally labeled f , if they are written in the following form: f (x) = mx + b. Linear function examples y = 2x + 5 f (x) = . If a linear function is increasing over its given domain, then its slope will be positive. If a linear function is decreasing over its given domain, then its slope will be negative. If a linear function is constant, which is normally a horizontal line like y = 3, over its given domain, then its slope will be zero. If a linear function is unde ned, which is normally a vertical line like x = 3, over its given domain, then its slope will be unde ned. The following is is a chart with four of the common polynomials along with their proper terms, degrees, and forms:

But if you compute the derivative, you will see that there is a maximum when x-0.75 and a minimum when x 1.

This means that our work is cut in half. If we know what the curve looks like for 0, then we need only reflect about the y-axis to obtain the com- plete curve [see Figure 3(a). Here are some examples: y-ey-ry x). and for all x in D, then f is an odd function and the curve is symmetric about the origin. Again we can obtain the complete curve if we know what it looks like for x0.
