Math Problem Statement

Analyze the characteristics and properties of the four given graphs.

Solution

The image contains four graphs of functions labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each graph has distinct characteristics such as turning points, asymptotes, and intercepts. Let me analyze the graphs:

  1. Graph 1: A parabola opening upwards, with a vertex at (2,3)(-2, -3), and passes through points (0,0)(0, 0) and (4,3)(4, 3).
  2. Graph 2: A cubic-like curve decreasing from the top left, crossing through (0,0)(0, 0), and increasing towards the bottom right.
  3. Graph 3: An exponential growth curve starting at (2,4)(-2, -4), crossing (0,0)(0, 0), and leveling off near y=3y = 3.
  4. Graph 4: A reciprocal function with vertical asymptote at x=0x = 0 and horizontal asymptote at y=1y = -1.

How would you like me to assist with these graphs? For example, would you like me to determine equations, analyze specific properties, or compare them?


Here are five related questions:

  1. What are the equations for each of these graphs?
  2. What are the domain and range of each function?
  3. Are there any symmetries in the graphs? If so, which ones?
  4. How do the intercepts affect the behavior of the functions?
  5. What transformations could produce these graphs from basic parent functions?

Tip: Understanding the key features of graphs—like intercepts, asymptotes, and turning points—helps in identifying their equations more easily.
