To exercise your skills, you are to perform the following using different tools available to you (e.g. Excel spreadsheet, graphing calculator, etc.) and write and explanation on your findings:
The graph of: f(x)= 0
The graph of: f(x) = a0 , where a0 ≠ 0
The graph of: f(x) = a0 + a1x , where a1 ≠ 0
For each of the three above:
What does the graph look like- describe the x placement
What is the graph function called?
Give an example of a number you could place in for the variable x, and describe the shift from the original graph. Remember to note what your value you are calculating for the variable x.
