Your favorite function

mark

(5 pts)

As students in a 200 level math class, I assume that you all have a favorite function. Your first assignment is to tell us about it. Specifically,

  • Type out your favorite function using LaTeX syntax and
  • Include a graph of your favorite function.

Check out this post on formatting in the forum to see how to input stuff nicely into the forum.

My favorite function is f(x) = e^{-x^2}.

I typed that math part in like so: $f(x) = e^{-x^2}$.

It’s graph looks like so:

jnarehoo

My favorite function is f(x) = |sin(x)|.

ssatterw

My favorite function is |x|+|y|=9

maugsbur

My favorite function is f(x)=e^x because it makes integrals easier!

wcshamblin

My favorite function is cos(x! * y!) = sin(x! * y!)

The graph looks like this!

hgrant2

My favorite function is f(x) = x^2

chooke

My favorite function is f(x) = sin(x^2)
It looks like this:

jcoumarb

My favorite function is f(x) = sin(x)

It’s graph looks like:

asword

My favorite function is f(x) = x^{3}-3x

nfourie

My favourite function is f(x) = |tan(x)|

This is the graph:

papplega

My favorite function is: cos(x^{-2}).

jfennimo

My favorite function is f(x)=sinx^3

Here’s what the graph looks like:

tfields

My favorite function is f(x) = x^3

because of the simple symmetry.

gavin

My favorite function is f(x) = \frac{x}{2} cos(x)

csabb

My favorite function is r = tan(17Θ) + cot(17Θ).

The graph looks like this!

jbrandy1

My favorite function is f(x) = x^4+x^3

jtweeten

The absolute best function is f(x) = |x|

esalzber

My favorite function is f(x)=x^3

asmith42

My favorite function is f(x)=tan(x^2).

The graph looks like this:
