    Graphing [f(x)]^2

    AHL 2.16

    To sketch [f(x)]2 from f(x):

    • Square all y-values: for each x, the new y-value is (f(x))2.

    • Because y2≥0, the entire graph of [f(x)]2 is on or above the x-axis.

    • Points where f(x)=0 remain on the x-axis.

    • Any minima below the x-axis become maxima above the x-axis.

    • Any maxima below the x-axis become minima above the x-axis.

    • If ∣f(x)∣<1, squaring makes it closer to 0; if ∣f(x)∣>1, squaring makes it larger.

    Negative parts of f(x) become positive when squared, so everything below the x-axis is reflected above it, with the magnitude of y-values adjusted according to the square.

    Notice the "rounded corners" where the function touches the x-axis, as opposed to the sharp corners for ∣f(x)∣.
