A quick guide to functions and the


shape of their corresponding graphs.
Linear Function
A linear function is in the form
f(x) = mx + b,
where m is the slope and
b is the y-intercept.

The graph is a straight line and looks like this:


Constant Function
A constant function is in the form
f(x) = k,
where k is a constant.
The graph of a constant function is a
horizontal line and looks like this:
Identity Function
The Identity Function is in the form
f(x) = x

The graph is a straight line with a slope = 1 that


goes through the origin and looks like this:
Square Function
The Square Function is in the form

The graph is a parabola that goes through the


origin and looks like this:
Cube Function
The Cube Function is in the form

The graph curves upward in the first quadrant,


downward in the third quadrant, and goes
through the origin. It looks like this:
Square Root Function
The Square Root Function is in the form

The graph starts at the origin and exists only in


the first quadrant and looks like this:
Reciprocal Function
The Reciprocal Function is in the form

The graph is a rectangular hyperbola. Each part of the graph gets


closer to the y-axis as x gets closer to 0 but it never meets the y-
axis because there is no value for y when x = 0. The graph looks
like this:
Absolute Value Function
The Absolute Value Function is in the form

The graph of the function forms a “V” in the first


and second quadrants and includes the origin.
The graph looks like this:
Greatest Integer Function
The Greatest Integer Function is in the form

Where f(x) is the greatest integer less than or


equal to x. The function is also known as the
Step Function and looks like this:
