TWELVE BASIC FUNCTIONS

In advanced mathematics you will find it helpful to analyze functions that appear repeatedly.  This lesson will help you recognize basic properties and characteristics of common functions.

DIRECTIONSGive a complete analysis for each of the twelve basic functions.  The analysis should include as many of the following as possible:

• Domain• Range• Continuity• Increasing/decreasing behavior• Symmetry• Boundedness• Local extrema• Horizontal asymptotes• Vertical asymptotes• End behavior• x­intercepts• y­intercepts
