Question 1

Which of the following best describes the symmetry of the function shown in the first graph?

Accepted Answer

The function is neither even nor odd; it is not symmetric about the y-axis or the origin.

Question 2

What is the domain of the function shown in the first graph?

Accepted Answer

The domain is $(-\infty, \infty)$.

Question 3

What is the range of the function shown in the first graph?

Accepted Answer

The range is $[-4, \infty)$.

Question 4

For the function in the first graph, at which x-value does the relative minimum occur, and what is the minimum value?

Accepted Answer

The minimum occurs at $x = 2$ and the minimum value is $-4$.

Question 5

Which intervals is the function in the first graph increasing?

Accepted Answer

The function is increasing on $(2, \infty)$.

Question 6

Which intervals is the function in the first graph decreasing?

Accepted Answer

The function is decreasing on $(-\infty, 2)$.

Question 7

Is the function in the first graph a function according to the vertical line test?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because no vertical line intersects the graph more than once.

Question 8

For the function in the second graph, which of the following best describes its symmetry?
