Besides determining the direction in which the 2 parabola = opens, the number a is a scaling factor. The parabola widens as a approaches zero and narrows as becomes large.

Hence, in the first quadrant, the graph moves up without bound as it moves right. 2 Since = 2 , it follows that, if any point , lies on the graph in the first quadrant, then the point , also lies on the graph in the second quadrant. Thus, the graph is symmetric with respect to the axis. The axis is called the axis of symmetry of this parabola.

Functions and Their Graphs
Functions; Domain and Range
A function is defined as a set of ordered pairs ( x, y), such that for each value of the independent variable x, there corresponds only one value of the dependent variable y. The set of x values is called the domain of the function, while the set of all corresponding values of is called the range of the function. The notation f ( x) is often used in place of y to indicate the value of the function f for a specific x and is read “ f of x” or “ f at x.”
Example (4): Verify the domains and ranges of these functions.

Graphs of Functions
The graph of a function is the graph of the equation: = ( ). If ( x, y) is a point on the graph, then = ( ) is the height of the graph above the point x if ( ) is positive or below x if ( ) is negative (see Fig.(1.7)). Fig.(1.7): If ( x, y) lies on the graph of f , then the value = ( ) is the height of the graph above the point x (or below x if ƒ( x) is negative)..

Inverse Hyperbolic Functions
When hyperbolic function keys are not available on a calculator, it is still possible to evaluate the inverse hyperbolic functions by expressing them as logarithms, as shown below: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f)

Shifting a Graph of a Function
− −
To shift the graph of a function = ( ) straight up, add a positive constant to the right hand side of = . To shift the graph of a function = ( ) straight down, add a negative constant to the right hand side of = ( ). To shift the graph of = ( ) to the left, add a positive constant to x. To shift the graph of = ( ) to the right, add a negative constant to x.
