Understanding Graphs: Fair Method

The video tutorial explains the concept of 'fair' in graphing, introducing the FAIR method: Factorise, Acetotes, Intercepts, and Regions. It details the importance of factorising graphs for easier analysis, describes different types of acetotes and their significance, and explains how to find intercepts and determine graph regions. The tutorial concludes with a practical application of the FAIR method on a specific graph example, emphasizing the importance of understanding graph behavior and constraints.

What is the main characteristic of horizontal asymptotes?

• They are always at y = 0

• They cannot be crossed by the graph

• They are related to limits as x approaches infinity

• They are determined by the numerator

What are the two types of intercepts discussed in the FAIR method?

• X and Y

• Positive and negative

• Factorized and non-factorized

• Vertical and horizontal

What does the 'R' in FAIR stand for?

• Ranges

• Roots

• Rational

• Regions

How do regions help in graphing?

• They show the slope of the graph

• They indicate the sign of the graph

• They determine the color of the graph

• They provide the exact values of intercepts
