Need help with graphing!! For each function, determine the domain and range, intercepts, positive/negative intervals, and increasing/decreasing intervals. State the equation of the reciprocal function. Then sketch the graphs of the original and reciprocal functions on the same axes. f(x)= x^2-x-12
any time your polynomial degree is 2 it looks like a variation of this |dw:1428205947812:dw|
to find x intercepts you can factor it
based on the graph. x's will go on forever and y's will go on forever
The domain is all real numbers. For range, check the y-axis. Where does it start and at which direction is the parabola going? Is it pointing to values less than or equal to the starting point?
For y-intercept, x=o. For x-intercept, factor the quadratic function...like this: |dw:1428206473426:dw|
