Characteristics of Graphs

                                               Characteristics of Graphs:
Domain: x-values

Range: y-values

End Behavior: description of what happens on both ends

Absolute Max/Min: 1 highest/lowest point

Local Max/Min: more than 1 highest/lowest point

Interval of Increase: what happens to a graph(y values) as you move along x-axis if y values are increasing 

Interval of Decrease: what happens to a graph as you move along x-axis if y values are decreasing

X Intercept: (a,o)

Y Intercept: (o,b)

Symmetry: even: symmetric about y-axis
                   odd: symmetric about origin
                   Neither: none

Even/Odd/Neither:  even: symmetric about y-axis
                                 odd: symmetric about origin
                                 Neither: none

Asymptotes: imaginary line that a graph gets closer and closer to but never touch

Function: describing what happens to a graph (function)

One to One: passes both vertical and horizontal line test
