Problem:
Compare the graphs of the functions
f(x) = x- 3 and g(x) = x- 5.
Visualization:
In the following LiveMath Notebook, you can view the graphs of y = f(x)
(blue graph) and y = g(x) (red graph).
You can change the function in the notebook above. Try
- f(x) = x-4 and g(x) = x-8
- f(x) = x-3 and g(x) = x-8
- f(x) = x-3 and g(x) = x-1
[To change the definition of f(x) in the notebook above, highlight the exponent in
right-hand
side of the second equation and then type in the new exponent.
Do not forget to also change the first equation which is the formula for g.]
