4. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.1 Increasing, Decreasing, and Piecewise Functions; Applications  Graph functions, looking for intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant, and estimate relative maxima and minima.  Given an application, find a function that models the application; find the domain of the function and function values, and then graph the function.  Graph functions defined piecewise.

5. Slide 2.1-5 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Increasing, Decreasing, and Constant Functions On a given interval, if the graph of a function rises from left to right, it is said to be increasing on that interval. If the graph drops from left to right, it is said to be decreasing. If the function values stay the same from left to right, the function is said to be constant.

6. Slide 2.1-6 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Definitions A function f is said to be increasing on an open interval I, if for all a and b in that interval, a < b implies f(a) < f(b).

7. Slide 2.1-7 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Definitions continued A function f is said to be decreasing on an open interval I, if for all a and b in that interval, a f(b).

8. Slide 2.1-8 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. A function f is said to be constant on an open interval I, if for all a and b in that interval, f(a) = f(b). Definitions continued

9. Slide 2.1-9 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Relative Maximum and Minimum Values Suppose that f is a function for which f(c) exists for some c in the domain of f. Then: f(c) is a relative maximum if there exists an open interval I containing c such that f(c) > f(x), for all x in I where x  c; and f(c) is a relative minimum if there exists an open interval I containing c such that f(c) < f(x), for all x in I where x  c.

11. Slide 2.1-11 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Applications of Functions Many real-world situations can be modeled by functions. Example A man plans to enclose a rectangular area using 80 yards of fencing. If the area is w yards wide, express the enclosed area as a function of w. Solution We want area as a function of w. Since the area is rectangular, we have A = lw. We know that the perimeter, 2 lengths and 2 widths, is 80 yds, so we have 40 yds for one length and one width. If the width is w, then the length, l, can be given by l = 40 – w. Now A(w) = (40 – w)w = 40w – w 2.

12. Slide 2.1-12 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Functions Defined Piecewise For the function defined as: find f (-3), f (1), and f (5). Some functions are defined piecewise using different output formulas for different parts of the domain. Since –3 0, use f (x) = x 2 : f (–3) = (–3) 2 = 9. Since 0 < 1 2, use f (x) = 4: f (1) = 4. Since 5 > 2 use f (x) = x – 1: f (5) = 5 – 1 = 4.

Functions Defined Piecewise Graph the function defined as: a) We graph f(x) =  3 only for inputs x less than or equal to 0. b) We graph f(x) =  3 + x 2 only for inputs x greater than 0 and less than or equal to 2. f(x) =  3, for x  0 f(x) =  3 + x 2, for 0 < x  2
