What are the characteristics of the graph of a function?

What is the linear parent function?
The linear parent function is y=x. The line on a graph passes through the origin(0,0) with a slope of 1. The line will face left to right on the graph like this /.
What do the absolute value of a function do to the graph of that function?
The absolute value of a function changes the original function by ensuring that any negative y values will in essence be positive. For instance, the function y = absolute value (x) will yield the value +1 when x equals -1. Graphically, this function will look like a "V".
What does function of x equals function of -x mean?
It means that the value of the function at any point "x" is the same as the value of the function at the negative of "x". The graph of the function is thus symmetrical around the y-axis. Examples of such functions are the absolute value, the cosine function, and the function defined by y = x2.
What is a polynomial function as a graph?
A polynomial function have a polynomial graph. ... That's not very helpful is it, but the most common formal definition of a function is that it is its graph. So, I can only describe it. A polynomial graph consists of "bumps", formally called local maxima and minima, and "inflection points", where concavity changes. What's more? They numbers and shape varies a lot for different polynomials. Usually, the poly with higher power will have more "bumps" and inflection points, but it is not a absolute trend. The best way to analyze the graph of a polynomial is through Calculus.
