Vertical asymptote
x=
Horizontal asymptote
y=
Three types of symmetry
Even, odd, neither
Even symmetry
Plus in 2 and -2 and if the same value, then even. These functions will be symmetrical about the y axis. Example: y=x^2
Odd symmetry
Example: y=x^3. Plug in 2&-2 and will get same value except one positive one negative. Like 10&-10. These functions are symmetrical about the origin.
f(x)= -f(-x) f(-x)= -f(x)
Neither
When a function does not reflect across the axis. Plug in 2 and -2. 8 doesn’t = 14.
X-intercept
Y=0
Called roots, zeros, solutions
Y-intercept.
X=0.
Calculating x-intercepts on Calc
2nd trace. Zero. Left bound, right bound.
What creates an asymptote?
For logs and exponents. A line that can never be crossed.
Name the asymptote for log base 3 (x+5)
Vertical asymptote at x=-5.
Where do logs start at?
(1,0)
Name the asymptote for 3^x -1.
Horizontal asymptote at y=-1.
Where do exponentials start at?
(0,1)
What determines our end behavior?
Horizontal asymptotes.
Remember, no end behavior for vertical asy.
