Only if y = 0 then it is the entire x-axis. Otherwise, for y = k and k is any number except zero, the graph is parallel to the x-axis and does not intersect.

What can be used to determine if a graph represents a function?

If the graph is a function, no line perpendicular to the X-axis can intersect the graph at more than one point.


Is Y equals 0 an even or odd function?

f(x) = 0 is a constant function. This particular constant function is both even and odd. Requirements for an even function: f(x) = f(-x) Geometrically, the graph of an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis The graph of a constant function is a horizontal line and will be symmetric with respect to the y-axis. y=0 or f(x)=0 is a constant function which is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Requirements for an odd function: -f(x) = f(-x) Geometrically, it is symmetric about the origin. While the constant function f(x)=0 is symmetric about the origin, constant function such as y=1 is not. and if we look at -f(x)=f(-x) for 1, we have -f(x)=-1 but f(-1)=1 since it is a constant function so y=1 is a constant function but not odd. So f(x)=c is odd if and only iff c=0 f(x)=0 is the only function which is both even and odd.


What is the relantionship between x and y?

On the Cartesian plane x is the horizontal axis and y is the vertical axis and they intersect at right angles at the origin (0,0))


The horizontal asymptote for exponential function is?

The graph of an exponential function f(x) = bx approaches, but does not cross the x-axis. The x-axis is a horizontal asymptote.


Where does a function equal zero?

If you set a function equal to zero and solve for x, then you are finding where the function crosses the x-axis.
