YES!

Simply by taking a quick glance at a graph, you can see several characteristics of the function: local minimums/maximums, points of inflection, end behavior, asymptotes, etc etc...

If you wanted to find these without the graph, you would have to do some math which might end up being very time consuming for very complicated functions. Even worse: what if the function is not elementary, and you can't express it in terms of finite arithmetic operations?
