Characteristics and traits

Domain- Describing left/right of a graph (x-values) 
Range- Describing up/down of a graph (y-values)


End behavior- Describing the 2 ends of an equation 


Absolute max/min- The 1 point that is the highest on a graph (x,y)


Local max/min- More than one point that are the highest/ lowest points


Interval of increase- Section of a graph where y values are increasing


Interval of decreasing- Section of graph where y values decrease 


Symmetry- 
         Even symmetry- symmetric about y axis
         Odd symmetry- symmetric about x origin 
        Neither- no symmetry 


One to one- Passes vertical/horizontal line test




Function-  Passes vertical line test 


Asymptotes- Curve in a line, line that gets close to the line but never touches it                                                         




X intercept-  (a,0) crosses x axis
Y intercept- (0,b) crosses y axiz
