Understanding Graphs and Functions

The video tutorial explains graphing functions, focusing on the behavior of quadratic and cubic functions. It discusses how even and odd exponents affect the graph's interaction with the x-axis, such as bouncing or slicing through. The tutorial uses examples like x-1 squared and x plus four to illustrate these concepts, emphasizing the role of multiplicity and leading coefficients in determining the graph's shape and direction.

What happens to the graph of (x-1)^2 at x=1?

• It bounces off the x-axis.

What is the effect of an even exponent on the graph?

• It causes the graph to disappear.

• It causes the graph to remain constant.

• It causes the graph to bounce.

What is the degree of the function when (x+4) is introduced?

• Third degree
