Functions and Their Graphs The Graph of a Function * Relation — A set of all ordered pairs (coordinates). * Domain — All of the x values * Range — All of the y values * Function — A special relation, where every element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range.

If the vertical line intersects the line on the graph in only one place, then the graph is a function, Not a Lnclion HS a Rneten The Graph of a Function * Increasing — The areas with a positive slope * Decreasing — The areas with a negative slope * Constant - The areas with the slope of zero (A flat plane) * Local Maxima — The y values at the high points in the graph. — All the mountain peaks (written as f@)=4) * Local Minima — The y-values at the low points in the graph.— All the valleys (written as f(5) = —3) *There can be more than one of each piece above!
