Traits and Characteristics Of Graphs


Domain: X-Values (left and right)
Range: Y-Values (up and down)

End Behavior: describing the end of an equation
          (up) y-> infinity (down) y->  negative infinity

Absolute Max/Min: The highest or lowest point on a graph
Local Max/Min: more than one point, lowest or highest on a graph.

Interval of Increase: section of the graph where Y-Values increases.
Interval of Decrease: section of the graph where the Y-Values decrease.

X-intercept: (A,0)
Y-intercept: (0,B)

Symmetry: When you can fold the graph in half and the graph will stay the same.

Even: Semetric on the Y-axis
Odd: semetric to the origin.
Neither: When the graph isnt semetric to the y-axis or the origin.

Asymptotes: The imginary line that a graph will come closer and closer to without ever touching.

Function: Passes the vertical line test.
One to One: Passes vertical line and horizontal line test.
