The pixel rectangles are the same size, and do not change in shape during any application. Graphing utilities use pixel-by-pixel plotting to produce graphs. Graphing Utility Screens Image Magnification to show pixels The portion of a rectangular coordinate system displayed on the graphing screen is called a viewing window and is determined by assigning values to six window variables: the lower limit, upper limit, and scale for the x axis; and the lower limit, upper limit, and scale for the y axis. 1-2-4

7. Copyright © 2000 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Functions Defined by Equations In an equation in two variables, if to each value of the independent variable there corresponds exactly one value of the dependent variable, then the equation defines a function. If there is any value of the independent variable to which there corresponds more than one value of the dependent variable, then the equation does not define a function. The equation y = x 2 – 4 defines a function. The equation x 2 + y 2 = 16 does not define a function. The equation y = x 2 – 4 defines a function. The equation x 2 + y 2 = 16 does not define a function. 1-3-6

Vertical Line Test for a Function An equation defines a function if each vertical line in the rectangular coordinate system passes through at most one point on the graph of the equation. If any vertical line passes through two or more points on the graph of an equation, then the equation does not define a function. (A) 4y – 3x = 8(B) y 2 – x 2 = 9 1-3-7

If a function is defined by an equation and the domain is not indicated, then we assume that the domain is the set of all real number replacements of the independent variable that produce real values for the dependent variable. The range is the set of all values of the dependent variable corresponding to these domain values. The symbol f(x) represents the real number in the range of the function f corresponding to the domain value x. Symbolically, f: x  f(x). The ordered pair (x, f(x)) belongs to the function f. If x is a real number that is not in the domain of f, then f is not defined at x and f(x) does not exist. Agreement on Domains and Ranges 1-3-8 The Symbol f(x)
