Lesson 1.4: Sketching Graphs and Comparing End Behaviors

Front

Domain

Back

The values of x for which f(x) is defined.

Front

Range

Back

The values that f(x) take as x varies.

Front

Intercepts

Back

Where the graph crosses the x- or y-axis.

Front

Symmetry

Back

Where one side of the graph is a reflection or rotation of the other side.

Front

End Behavior

Back

What the graph is doing at the right and left sides as x approaches infinity or negative infinity.

Front

Extrema

Back

High or low points where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa.

Front

Increasing/Decreasing

Back

Where the graph is going up or down as x increases.

Front

Positive/Negative

Back

Where the graph is above or below the x-axis.
