Question 1210673: Precalculus
Chapter 1, section 1.2
Q. 42
The graph of an equation is given. The graph is a curve rising from quadrant 2 on the xy-plane through the point (0,1) and moving upward into quadrant 1.
A. Find the intercepts.
B. Indicate if the graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, or the origin.

A.From the given picture, it looks like the curve will never cross the x-axis. I think the asymptote of the curve is the line y = 0. I say there are no x-intercepts. The curve does go through the point (0,1). The point (0,1) is the y-intercept, which can also be expressed as the line y = 1. You say?
I am not sure how to answer B.

Question 1210672: Precalculus
Chapter 1, section 1.2
Q. 41 (odd number question here).
The graph of an equation is given. The graph is a parabola opening to the left and right of the y-axis. The parabola opening to the left of the y-axis passes through the point (-1,0). The parabola opening to the right of the y-axis passes through the point (1,0).
A. Find the intercepts.
B. Indicate if the graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, or the origin.
For A, I found the x-intercepts to be the points given on the graph. That is, the points (-1,0) and (1,0). Can I also represent the x-intercepts by saying x = -1 and x = 1? The two parabolic sketches do not cross the y-axis. So, my conclusion is that there are no y-intercepts. You say?
I don't know how to answer B.
Thank you

Question 1165384: The graph of f(x) is shown below. https://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/b/a/dba24dce7c2734af95b18f61b73b2a32f213cd79.png
For each point (a,b) on the graph of y = f(x), the point ( 3a - 1, b/2) is plotted to form the graph of another function y = g(x). For example, (0,2) lies on the graph of y = f(x), so (3 * 0 - 1, 2/2) = (-1,1) lies on the graph of y = g(x).
(a) Plot the graph of y = g(x). Include the diagram in your solution.
(b) Express g(x) in terms of f(x).
(c) Describe the transformations that you would apply to the graph of y = f(x) to obtain the graph of y = g(x). For example, one transformation might be to stretch the graph horizontally by a factor of 5.
