Graph Function
•
The
graph
of a function
f
is the collection of all ordered pairs (
x
,
f
(
x
)). Inparticular, if
x
is a real number,
graph
means the graphical representation of thiscollection, in the form of a curve on a Cartesian plane, together with Cartesianaxes
•
Graphing on a Cartesian plane is sometimes referred to as
curve sketching
. Ifthe function input
x
is an ordered pair (
x
1
,
x
2
) of real numbers, the graph is thecollection of all ordered triples (
x
1
,
x
2
,
f
(
x
1
,
x
2
)), and its graphical representation isa surface
•
The graph of a function on real numbers is identical to the graphic representationof the function
•
The graph of a function is the set of all points whose co-ordinates (
x
,
y
) satisfythe function
y
=
f
(
x
). This means that for each
x
-value there is a corresponding
y
-value which is obtained when we substitute into the expression for
f
(
x
).
•
The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs (x, f(x)), where x is in thedomain of f and y = f(x).
•
Since there is no limit to the possible number of points for the graph of thefunction, we will follow this procedure at first:- select a few values of
x
- obtain the corresponding values of the function- plot these points by joining them with a smooth curve
•
A graph is sometimes also called a plot.
•
A collection of vertices and edges connecting them.
•
A function is a relation (usually an equation) in which no two ordered pairs havethe same x-coordinate when graphed.
Example 1:
A man who is 2 m tall throws a ball straight up and its height at time
t
(in
s
) is givenby
h
= 2 + 9
t
- 4.9

m. Graph the function.We start at
t
= 0 since negative values of time have no practical meaning here.

Example 2:
Solve the function f(x) = 3x
2
- 4 and plot the x and y axis value of the given function f (x).Solution:Given:F(x) = 3x
2
- 4We take f(x) value as y. so the given equation is3x
2
– y - 4 = 0In the next step we are going to equate the above equation with respect to x we get3x
2
= y + 4In the next step we are going to divide the above equation in the value of -1. We get
3x
2
= -y - 4y = 3x
2
– 4From equation (1) we get the following valuesx -2 -1 0 1y 8 -1 -4 -1
