Section 1.3
More on Functions and
Their Graphs
Math 112
Section 1.3
A function is said to be increasing on an interval if, for
all a and b in the interval, a > b implies f(a) > f(b).
Or simply put, increasing means up, decreasing means
down, and constant means level.
Increasing: (4 , 1)  (4 , )
Decreasing: ( , 4)
Constant: (1 , 4)
Relative Minimum: 2
The intervals describing
where functions increase,
decrease, or are constant,
use x-coordinates and
not the y-coordinates.
Find where the graph is increasing?
Where is it decreasing? Where is it
constant?

Even and Odd Functions
and Symmetry
Math 112
A graph is symmetric with respect to the
y-axis if for any point (x , y) on the graph,
the point (x , y) is also on the graph.
(x , y)
(x , y)
Math 112
Section 1.7
A graph is symmetric with respect to the
origin if for any point (x , y) on the graph,
the point (x , y) is also on the graph.
(x , y)
(x , y)
Math 112
Section 1.7
If the graph of a function f is symmetric with
respect to the y-axis, (that is, f(x) = f(x)),
then f(x) is an even function.
If the graph of a function f is symmetric with
respect to the origin, (that is, f(x) = f(x)),
then f(x) is an odd function.

defined by different formulas for different
parts of the domain.

A function that is defined by two or more equations over
a specified domain is called a piecewise function. Many
cellular phone plans can be represented with piecewise
functions. See the piecewise function below:
A cellular phone company offers the following plan:
$20 per month buys 60 minutes
Additional time costs $0.40 per minute.
C t  

if 0  t  60
20  0.40(t  60) if t>60
Example

if 0  t  60
20  0.40(t  60) if t>60
