Increasing if m>0
decreasing if m<0.
constanct if m=0
Parallel.
/ not
f(x) = -2x+6.
g(x)=-2x-4
f(x) = 3x+2.
g(x)=2x-2
correlation coefficient
r>0 --> increasing
r<0 --> decreasing
closer to 0 = more scattered
closer to 1 or -1 = less scattered
Graphs
Function Behavior
Average rate of change
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Piecewise functions
(absolute functions)
|x|= x. x≥0.
-x. x<0
Inverse Functions
f(x) = y, the inverse is f^-1(x)
f^-1(x) = 1/f(x)
Transformations
Vertical and horizontal transformations
shift
stretch
compress
flip
Rational Functions
Vertical
x=0 as x approaches
0, f(x) tends to either
infinity or - infinity
Removable Discontinuities
Horizontal
y=b, the graph approaches the
line as the input
increases/decreases without
bound
Asymptotes
f(x) = ((x+1)^2 (x-3)) / ((x+3)^2 (x-2))
- at the x-int x=-1
corresponding to the
(x+1)^2 factor the
numerator, the graph
bounces - at the x-int x=3
corresponding to the
(x-3) factor the
numerator, the graph
passes through axis - at
x=-3 corresponds to the
(x+3)^2 factor of the the
the denominator, the
graph heads toward
positive infinity on both
sides - at x=2,
corresponds to the (x-2)
factor of the
denominator, the graph
heads to + infinity on the
left & - infinity on the
right
Composite Functions

f of g = f(g(x))
