A Function Is A Rule Which Maps A Single Number To Another Single Number X - X Is A Function X - X It Is Not A Fuction

This document discusses functions and their properties. It provides examples of functions defined in terms of x, including linear, quadratic, rational, radical, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. It also covers combining functions using operations like addition, multiplication, composition, and finding inverse functions. Several problems involve sketching functions or expressing one function in terms of another.
