No CommentsAn Overview of Basic Graphs
Description
A detailed tutorial on seven different basic graphs. Step by step tutorial including several visual examples of seven different basic graphs for reference.
Overview
A lot of time in any math class is devoted to the subject of graphs and graphing. But forming a graph when you are only given an equation can be difficult – unless you have some basic graphs memorized. Once you have these seven graphs memorized, it is very easy to follow the patterns in the equation and and simply fix your basic graphs to fit these new requirements. The basic graphs are the most basic patterns that x can be found in on any function – this is x, x squared, and x cubed. There is also the absolute value of x, the natural log of x, and the exponential function of x. The last one is one divided by x, which while not being a basic form of x, is a very important form.
