Graphing Constant Functions

This video tutorial explains how to graph a constant function, specifically p(r) = 5, by plotting points. It covers selecting input values, finding corresponding outputs, and plotting ordered pairs on a Cartesian plane. The tutorial demonstrates that the graph of a constant function is a horizontal line and verifies the graph using a calculator.

What is the main focus of this lesson on graphing functions?

• Graphing logarithmic functions

• Graphing quadratic functions

• Graphing constant functions

• Graphing exponential functions

What is the output of the function p(r) = 5 for any input r?

• The square of the input

• The input value

• The constant 5

• The input plus 5

Which of the following input values is NOT used in the example for plotting points?

• 4

• 0

• 3

• -2

What is the ordered pair for the input value of 1 in the function p(r) = 5?

• (0, 5)

• (1, 1)

• (5, 1)

• (1, 5)

How is the graph of a constant function described?

• A vertical line

• A diagonal line

• A curved line

• A horizontal line

What is the vertical intercept of the function p(r) = 5?

• (0, 0)

• (0, 5)

• (5, 5)

• (5, 0)

Why is it unnecessary to check the graph of p(r) = 5 on a calculator?

• The function has no intercepts

• The graph is a simple horizontal line

• The function is too complex

• The calculator cannot graph constant functions

What should you press on the calculator to clear old functions before graphing a new one?

• Press 'Delete'

• Press 'Reset'

• Press 'Enter'

• Press 'Clear'

What is the purpose of pressing 'Zoom 6' on the calculator?

• To set the graph to a standard window

• To reset the graph

• To zoom out of the graph

• To zoom in on the graph

What is verified by scrolling up and down the table on the calculator?

• The graph's shape

• The graph's size

• The graph's color

• The inputs and outputs match the table
