Sketching Equations
• Given an equation, we can pick values for one of the variables and solve for the other– E.g. Given y = -x2 when x = -2, y = -4• Thus, (-2, -4) lies on the graph of y = -x2
• By repeating the process a few times, we obtain a graph of the equation– Usually 3 to 4 points are satisfactory– Pick both positive and negative values

Equations & Shapes of Graphs
• We can often determine the shape of a graph based on its equation– Important to acquire this skill
• Equations of the form:y = mx + b are lines y = ax2 + bx + c are U-shaped

Finding Intercepts of Equations
• x-intercept: where the graph of an equation crosses the x-axis– Written in coordinate form as (x, 0)– To find, set y = 0, and solve for x:• May entail solving a linear or quadratic equation
• y-intercept: where the graph of an equation crosses the y-axis– Written in coordinate form as (0, y)– To find, set x = 0, and solve for y• May entail solving a linear or quadratic equation

Using Symmetry to Sketch Equations
![Page 12: Graphs of Equations MATH 109 - Precalculus S. Rook](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2b5503460f94c4653c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Symmetry
• Knowing that an equation has symmetry means that we can use reflections to help us graph it
• Symmetry is also helpful when asked to predict the behavior or shape of an equation
• Most common types of symmetry:– Symmetry about the y-axis– Symmetry about the x-axis– Symmetry about the origin
![Page 13: Graphs of Equations MATH 109 - Precalculus S. Rook](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2b5503460f94c4653c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Symmetry about the y-axis
• Given an equation containing the point (x, y), the equation is symmetrical about the y-axis IF it also contains the point (-x, y)– Substituting -x for x into the equation does
NOT change it• Ex: y = |x|
![Page 14: Graphs of Equations MATH 109 - Precalculus S. Rook](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2b5503460f94c4653c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Symmetry about the x-axis
• Given an equation containing the point (x, y), the equation is symmetrical about the x-axis IF it also contains the point (x, -y)– Substituting -y for y into the equation does
NOT change it• Ex: x = -y2
![Page 15: Graphs of Equations MATH 109 - Precalculus S. Rook](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2b5503460f94c4653c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Symmetry about the Origin
• Given an equation containing the point (x, y), the equation is symmetrical about the origin IF it also contains the point (-x, -y)– Substituting -x for x & -y for y into the
equation does NOT change it– Reflects over the line y = x• Ex: y = x3
![Page 16: Graphs of Equations MATH 109 - Precalculus S. Rook](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f2b5503460f94c4653c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Determining Symmetry (Example)
Ex 3: Use algebraic tests to check for symmetry with respect to both axes and the origin:
a) x – y2 = 0 b) xy = 4
c) y = x4 – x2 + 3 d) y = 5x – 1

Using Symmetry to Sketch a Graph
• If an equation is symmetric to the y-axis:– Get points using either x ≥ 0 or x ≤ 0– Obtain additional points by taking the opposite of x and keeping y
the same (-x, y)• If an equation is symmetric to the x-axis:– Get points using either y ≥ 0 or y ≤ 0– Obtain additional points by taking the opposite of y and keeping x
the same (x, -y)• If an equation is symmetric to the origin:– Get points using either x >= 0 or x <= 0– Obtain additional points by taking the opposite of both x and y (-x, -y)

Standard Equation of a Circle
• Circle: the set of all points r units away, where r is the radius, from a point (h, k) called the center
• Given the radius and the center, we can construct the standard equation of a circle:
where: (h, k) is the centerr is the radius

General Equation of a Circle
• An equation in the form x2 + y2 + Ax + By + C = 0 (A, B, and C are constants) is known as the general equation of a circle– Notice that the right side of the general equation
is set to 0• To extract the center and radius:– Complete the square on x and then on y to
convert the general equation to the standard equation• We will review the process of completing the square in
the next example24
