The Graph of a Function

GRAPH OF
 To graph a given function, follow these steps.

1. Take representative value of x in the domain of the function

and solve for f(x).

2. Then construct a table of values for x and f(x).

3. Plot the points whose coordinates are the ordered pairs (x,
f(x)) from the table of values.
4. Join the plotted points in the plane with a straight line or a
smooth curve. Label the graph.
 Example:
Sketch the graph of the function f (x ) = 5.
Solution:
Step 1. For x = -2, -1, 0, 1 and 2, the function of values are as follows:
f ( -2) = 5. f (0) = 5. f (2) = 5.
f ( -1) = 5. f (1) = 5.
Step 2. Table of Values Step 3. Plot the points

NOTE. That every value of x, the value of function is equal to 5 and the
graph is a straight line parallel to the x – axis.
 Example:
Sketch the graph of the function g (x ) = x.
Solution:
Step 1. For x = -2, -1, 0, 1 and 2, the function of values are as follows:
g ( -2) = -2. g (0) = 0. g (2) = 2.

g ( -1) = -1. g (1) = 1.

NOTE. The function of x is equal to itself and the graph is a diagonal line that
divides the first and the third quadrants.
 Example:
 Sketch the graph of the function

Solution:
Step 1. When x is positive the value of the function is itself. When x is
negative, we multiply b -1.
