OK, let's pick the domain to go from -5 to 5. \n" ); document.write( "From x=-5 to x=0 (not including x=0), the function is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "From x=0 (including x=0) to x=5, the function is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Since for a straight line, we only need two points we will use x=-5,0 for \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Plot those two points, (-5,-4) and (0,1) and draw the straight line connecting them. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Next for the quadratic, we need more that 2 points, we'll pick x=0,1,2,3,4,5. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Plot those and connect those points. \n" ); document.write( "Note the change in scale of the graph. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Also, note the discontinuity at x=0. \n" ); document.write( " |
