Best Answer

If a > 0, it is stretched, in the vertical direction, by the factor a

If a = 1 it is unchanged

If 0 < a < 1, it is shrunk bt the factor a

If a = 0, it is coincident with the x-axis

If a < 0 then as above, but it is also reflected about the x-axis (turned upside down).

What are the steps for finding a function rule if you are given the graph of a function?

In general, it is impossible. You could try putting together a data set using as many of the points as possible from the graph. Then try various regressions. You may have to perform transformations on the data if the function rule is not straightforward. This could require some very high level statistical techniques. You could be lucky and the graph is a straight line!


What a function rule?

As you get to harder and higher analysis of functions, it's not required. A function rule, apparently, is an equation that represents a function. A function, properly defined, is its graph. A graph is a subset of a plane, where it's the set of all points (a, b), and for every value a, f(a) = b is the definition of a function. So you can get a plane, squible some lines that's not over lapping, you get a function. How the HELL do you get an equation for that? Hence, the function is kinda useless? No! Function equations can help us making analysis of those that does have one. In terms of derivatives, limits etc.


How can you find a function rule from a table?

you see the difference between the two numbers rather it could be multiply, divide, subtract, or add and it could also be more than one rule the rule could be x+6*8 and it has to apply to the rest of the table


How do you you rewrite a rule as a function?

You need to give an example of the rule and the function you want.
