Characteristics & Traits
- Domain: x-values, describe a graph as it moves left to right.
- Range: y-values, describe a graph as it goes up and down.
- End Behavior: describes what happens an both ends.
- Absolute Max/Min: Highest or lowest point.
- Local Max/Min: More than one highest or lowest point.
- Interval of increase: What happens to the graph as you move along the x-axis.
- Interval of decrease: What happens to the graph as you move along the x-axis.
- X-intercept: (a,0)
- Y-intercept: (0,b)
- Symmetry:
Even: Symmetric about the y-axis.
Odd: Symmetric about the origin.
Neither: No symmetry
- Asymptotes: Imaginary line that a graph gets closer to, but never touches.
- Function: Passes vertical line test.
- One to One: Passes both line tests.
