Cubic, Square Root, and Reciprocal Functions The graph of the cubic function f(x) = x3 has the following features. • Domain and Range = • The function is odd. • The graph goes thru (0,0) • It is increasing from • Symmetric about the origin. y = x 3
The graph of the reciprocal function. • Domain and Range • (-∞, 0) (0, ∞) • Odd function • No intercepts • Decreasing (-∞, 0) and (0, ∞) • Symmetric to origin
The graph of the square root function. • Domain and Range • nonnegative real numbers • Intercept at (0, 0) • Increasing (0, ∞)
Summary of Graphs of Common Functions f(x) = c y = x y = x 3 y = x2
