Worksheet 2 Graphs of Functions II

1 To draw the graph of a given function, the

following steps are taken.
(a) Construct a table of values.
(b) Use a suitable scale for the axes if the
scale is not given.
(c) Plot the points and complete the graph b
!oining the points.

2 Tpes of functions.

where m is the gradient and c is the &intercept
of the line.

2 The region which satisfies the ine-ualities
' mx % c is the shaded region as shown
below.



y $ mx %c
3 0f the boundar of the shaded region is a dashed
line, then the boundar is not part of the ine-ualit
given. 1or instance, the region which represents
the ine-ualit * mx %c is as shown below.


y $ mx %c

)
4 To determine the region of a given ine-ualit,
change the ine-ualit so that is the sub!ect of
the ine-ualit.
(i) 0f * f(x) , then the region is below the line
$f(x).
(ii) 0f ' f(x) , then the region is above the line
$f(x).
