10. GRAPHS OF FUNCTIONS II 1b) the type of function given a graph. Students are expected tobe able to identify: ‘8)_ the shape of the graph given a type of function Quadratic ax thxte yracte lysate * SKILLS a. ~Complete the table by calculating | ~ Linear Function y= ax +e the value of y = Quadsatic Function y= ax’ + bx +e (Aypes of fimetions are involved: | ~ Cubie Funetion y= ax’ +bx 4e linear, quadratic .eubie and : reciprocal fictions ) ~ Reciprocal Function yt b. Plan and draw the graph systematically ~ Identify the range for x - axis ~ Identify the range for y - axis ~ Identify the position of the x-axis and y-axis = Mark x - axis and y - axis for the siven range and with uniform seale, ~ The plotting of values on the x —axis and the y-axis must ben the gap paper ~ Use 1 big square (2 em) to represent 1 unit for x — axis and 2 em to represent the corresponding units as given in the scale for the y — axis. = The graph paper in the question ‘measures 8 big squares (width ) x 11 big squares (height )- 16emx 22 em ~ Use (x) to plot the points on the raph paper.Draw the curve forthe graph. = Draw x— axis and y— axis according to the uniform scale and all the plotted points must be within ‘the graph paper ~ Mark all the points accurately ~ Join all the points by using a sharp pencil ~ The graphs for quadratic, cubie or reciprocal funetions (curves) nmst be i. neat i. pass through all the plotted points iii, no straight portion (do not use rules) iv, Drawing the curve using "free hand” is more suitable, ‘The minimum or the maximum points cannot be sharp. 4. Find the value of y or x when given ‘value of x ot y from the graph. State the value on the graph or in the answer space. - Draw parallel line to the y= axis to find the value of x. State the value on the graph or in the answer space. fe. ~ Drawing the straight line ~ Compared the original equation with the given equation. ~ Arrange it with the mark (=) on the same line on the left or right. ~ Add or subizact to get rid of the x term in powers of 2 or 3 + Write the equation as y=mx +e. ~ Build a table to get a pair of points. Suggestion. Get the value of y when x=Oand when x=2 ~ Mark the points accurately on the graph ~ Use a ruler to join the points On the same axes, draw a suitable straight line which satisfies the equation. Determine the solutions by reading off the x-coordinates of the point of intersection of the two graphs. ‘Draw parallel line to the y—axis from the given x value until it touches the ‘graph and from there draw a parallel line to the x—axis. State the value of y ~ Draw parallel line to the x-axis from the given y value until it touches the graph and from there draw a parallel line to the y — axis. ~ State the value of x - = The value that is obtained by calculation is not accepted. y = Rr8KTS w-12x-1=0 Re-arrange the equation, y= @-8x+5 0 = -12x-1 @ - @) y-0 = 8x 12K +6 y = 4x+6 or X-8x+5 x 1dx- @ - Gi) “Sx +12x+6 = y-0 ax +6= y Do not use "free hand” to draw the straight line Make sure your straight line cuts the original graph (the curve) at at least one point.
