A _______________ is a mathematical relation that maps a set of input values to a set of output values such that each
input value is mapped to exactly ___ output value.
Note: In previous courses, you may have used the “Vertical Line Test” to determine if a graph is a function or not. Later
in this course, we will learn that this test does not always work!
The set of input values of a function is called the ______________, represented by the ___________________ variable.
The set of output values of a function is called the ____________, represented by the __________________ variable.
Example 1: Sketch a graph for −4 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 4 for the function rules below.
a) The function 𝑓 halves each b)
input value and then adds 1.
Graphical Behavior of Functions
Increasing Decreasing Concave Up Concave Down
As the input values As the input values
increase, the output values increase, the output values The rate of change is The rate of change is
always increase: If 𝑎 < 𝑏, always decrease: If 𝑎 < 𝑏, increasing. decreasing.
then 𝑓(𝑎) < 𝑓(𝑏). then 𝑓(𝑎) > 𝑓(𝑏).

Example 2: The graph of ℎ(𝑥) is shown above. Use the graph of ℎ to find the open intervals where ℎ has the following
behaviors.
a) ℎ is increasing b) ℎ is decreasing c) ℎ is concave up
d) ℎ is both increasing and concave down e) ℎ is both decreasing and concave up
Example 3: The graph of 𝑘 is increasing on the intervals (−4, 1) and (5, 7), and 𝑘 is decreasing on the interval (1, 5).
Additionally, the graph of 𝑘 is concave up on the interval (3, 6) and concave down on the intervals (−4, 3) and (6, 7).
Sketch a graph of 𝑘(𝑥) below.
