    This document provides an introduction to squiggly functions. It explains that a squiggly function represents the number of points where a horizontal line intersects the graph in the xy-plane. An example problem asks the reader to determine the number of x-values where the function g(x) equals 1 by drawing a horizontal line at y=1 and counting the number of intersection points. The document concludes by stating that similar problems may ask about intervals where a function is negative or positive and provides an example of determining intervals where a function equals zero.

    When a horizontal line crosses the 𝑥𝑦-coordinate
    plane that passes through the 𝑦-axis, then the
    number of points at which the horizontal line
    intersects represents the squiggly function.
    Squiggly Functions
    Example:
    The graph of 𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑥) is shown in the 𝑥𝑦-coordinate plane
    below. If −3 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 7 ,for how many values of 𝑥 does g 𝑥 = 1?
    𝑥 – value of a point is like the
    location or address of the point

    𝑔 𝑥 ,𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑦

    How many points on the graph


    have a y-value of 1?

    3 values of 𝑥, where g 𝑥 = 1
    Squiggly Functions

    A horizontal line can be a very useful tool.

    How many values of 𝑥 does


    𝑔 𝑥 = 1?
    • Draw a horizontal line
    across 𝑥y-coordinate plane,
    passing through the 𝑦 −
    axis at the given value
    • Count the no. of points, the
    horizontal line intersects the
    squiggly function
    Squiggly Functions
    Sometimes the ACT will ask questions like, over what interval is 𝑓 𝑥 = negative?
    or what are the values of 𝑥 for which 𝑓 𝑥 is negative?

    −6 ≤ 𝑥 < 3 and 1 < 𝑥 < 5


    𝑓 𝑥 =0 , not negative
