How to graph the function f(x) =x and the function g(x) =x^2
Graph the function f(x) = x and the function g(x) = x2 in the same set of coordinate axes. At what point (s) do the functions intersect? Label the points on your graph.
It is my understanding that the function f(x) = x is the most linear function, called the identity function, because it assigns each real number to itself.
g(x) = x2 is a squaring function if I'm correct.
However, what I'm confused on is below the instructions for the problem my teacher wrote a table of values for which she said to use.
This is fine. The table of values starts with a row for x, and then a row for f(x)=x+1, and a final row for x, f(x)
I am confused on the row f(x) = x+1.
I thought the instructions were to "graph the function f(x)= x
Where did x + 1 come from?
I have just started graphing functions so still new to the concept.
Thank you!
