Begin by graphing the standard cubic function, \(f(x)=x^{3} .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ h(x)=\frac{1}{2} x^{3} $$
What must be done to a function's equation so that its graph is reflected about the \(y\) -axis?
Group members should consult an almanac, newspaper, magazine, or the Internet to find data that lie approximately on or near a straight line. Working by hand or using a graphing utility, construct a scatter plot for the data. If working by hand, draw a line that approximately fits the data and then write its equation. If using a graphing utility, obtain the equation of the regression line. Then use the equation of the line to make a prediction about what might happen in the future. Are there circumstances that might affect the accuracy of this prediction? List some of these circumstances.
Begin by graphing the square root function, \(f(x)=\sqrt{x} .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ h(x)=\sqrt{x+1}-1 $$
Describe one advantage of using \(f(x)\) rather than \(y\) in a function's equation. For people filing a single return, federal income tax is a function of adjusted gross income because for each value of adjusted gross income there is a specific tax to be paid. On the other hand, the price of a house is not a function of the lot size on which the house sits because houses on same-sized lots can sell for many different prices. a. Describe an everyday situation between variables that is a function. b. Describe an everyday situation between variables that is not a function.
