Continuous Function
A function that has no limits of breaks
Can be drawn without lifting the pen
Formula of a hyperbola
y=k/x
What type of function is a hyperbola
inverse function
y asymptote of hyperbola
x -> ∞
x asymptote of hyperbola
y -> ∞
Transformed hyperbola formula
y=k/(bx+c)
Formula of an absolute value
|x|{ (x if x≥0), (-x if x<0)
Transformed absolute value formula
f(x) = |x - h| + k
|x|≤ a
-a≤x≤a
|x| ≥ a
x≤-a x≥a
Transformations of a circle formula
(x-a)²+(y-b)²=r²
How is the circle function created
using pythag, y is the distance of one side of a right angle triange to a point on a circle, x is the distance of the other, and the radius is the length of the hypotenuse
y=-f(x)
reflect over x axis
y=f(-x)
reflect over y axis
Combined functions
f(x)+g(x)
f(x)-g(x)
f(x) * g(x)
f(x)/g(x)
etc…
Composite functions
f(g(x)
the output of one function becomes the input of the outer function
Steps of a reciprocal function
1) any point where f(x)=0, 1/f(x) has a verticle asymptote
2) any point where f(x)=±1, 1/f(x)=f(x)
3) as f(x)->0, 1/f(x) -> ∞ and as f(x) -> ∞, 1/f(x) -> 0
4) all turning points for f(x) become turning point 1/f(x)
