General Math (Week 3 Lessons)

1. The document discusses four basic functions - constant, linear, quadratic and their graphs. 2. It provides examples of each function, constructing tables of values and sketching their graphs. Constant functions have a horizontal line graph. Linear functions have a straight line graph defined by their slope and y-intercept. Quadratic functions have a parabolic graph defined by their vertex. 3. The objectives are to demonstrate understanding of these functions and how to set up tables and sketch their graphs.

BASIC FUNCTIONS

AND THEIR
GRAPHS

GENERAL MATHEMATICS (Advanced Algebra, Basic Business Math and Logic)


OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, you are expected
to:

1. demonstrate your understanding about a


constant function, a linear function and a
quadratic function; and
2. set up a table of values for each of these basic
functions to sketch the graph.

GENERAL MATHEMATICS (Advanced Algebra, Basic Business Math and Logic)


CONSTANT FUNCTION
CONSTANT FUNCTION is a linear function for which
the range does not change no matter which member of the
domain is used. Its graph is a horizontal line. It is denoted by
the equation y = c where c is a constant. The degree of a
constant function is 0. The slope (m) of a constant function is 0
and its y-intercept (b) is c.
Examples:
Set up a table of values for each constant function and
sketch the graph. y

LINEAR FUNCTION
LINEAR FUNCTION is a function whose graph is
a non-vertical straight line. It is denoted by the equation
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The degree of a linear function is 1.

Examples:
Construct a table of values for each linear function
and sketch the graph. y

QUADRATIC FUNCTION
Quadratic Function is a function whose graph is
a parabola that opens upward or downward. It is
denoted by the its vertex form y = a(x – h)² + k where
(h, k) is the vertex and x = h is the axis of symmetry. Its
degree is 2.
Examples:
Construct a table of values for each quadratic
function and draw the graph. y y=x
