GENERAL DEFINITION :

If to every value (Considered as real unless otherwise stated) of a variable x, which belongs to some
collection (Set) E, there corresponds one and only one finite value of the quantity y, then y is said to be
a function (Single valued) of x or a dependent variable defined on the set E ; x is the argument or
independent variable .
If to every value of x belonging to some set E there corresponds one or several values of the variable y,
then y is called a multiple valued function of x defined on E.Conventionally the word "FUNCTION is
used only as the meaning of a single valued function, if not otherwise stated.

DOMAIN, CO
DOMAIN & RANGE OF A FUNCTION :
Let f : A B, then the set A is known as the domain of f & the set B is known as co-domain of f .
The set of all f images o f elements of A is known as the range of f . Thus :
Domain of f = {a a A, (a, f(a)) f}
Range of f = {f(a) a A, f(a) B}
It should be noted that range is a subset of codomain . If only the rule of function is given then the domain of
the function is the set of those real numbers, where function is defined. For a continuous function, the interval
from minimum to maximum value of a function gives the range.

IMPORTANT TYPES OF FUNCTIONS :

POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION :
If a function f is defined by f (x) = a0 xn + a1 xn1 + a2 xn2 + ... + an1 x + an where n is a non negative integer
and a0, a1, a2, ..., an are real numbers and a0 0, then f is called a polynomial function of degree n .
NOTE : (a)
A polynomial of degree one with no constant term is called an odd linear
function . i.e. f(x) = ax , a 0
(b)

There are two polynomial functions , satisfying the relation ;

f(x).f(1/x) = f(x) + f(1/x). They are :
&
(ii) f(x) = 1 xn , where n is a positive integer .
(i) f(x) = xn + 1

(ii)

ALGEBRAIC FUNCTION :
y is an algebraic function of x, if it is a function that satisfies an algebraic equation of the form
P0 (x) yn + P1 (x) yn1 + ....... + Pn1 (x) y + Pn (x) = 0 Where n is a positive integer and
P0 (x), P1 (x) ........... are Polynomials in x.
e.g. y = x is an algebraic function, since it satisfies the equation y x = 0.
Note that all polynomial functions are Algebraic but not the converse. A function that is not algebraic is
called TRANSCEDENTAL FUNCTION .

(iii)

FRACTIONAL RATIONAL FUNCTION :

A rational function is a function of the form. y = f (x) =

(IV)

g(x )
h (x )

, where

g (x) & h (x) are polynomials & h (x) 0.

EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION :
A function f(x) = ax = ex ln a (a > 0 , a 1, x R) is called an exponential function. The inverse of the
exponential function is called the logarithmic function . i.e. g(x) = loga x .
Note that f(x) & g(x) are inverse of each other & their graphs are as shown .

EQUAL OR IDENTICAL FUNCTION :

Two functions f & g are said to be equal if :
The domain of f = the domain of g.
The range of f = the range of g
and
f(x) = g(x) , for every x belonging to their common domain. eg.
x
1
f(x) =

CLASSIFICATION OF FUNCTIONS :
One One Function (Injective mapping) :
A function f : A B is said to be a oneone function or injective mapping if different elements of A
have different f images in B . Thus for x1, x2 A & f(x1) ,
f(x2) B , f(x1) = f(x2) x1 = x2 or x1 x2 f(x1) f(x2) .
Diagramatically an injective mapping can be shown as

OR
Note : (i)

Any function which is entirely increasing or decreasing in whole domain, then

f(x) is oneone .
(ii)
If any line parallel to xaxis cuts the graph of the function atmost at one point,
then the function is oneone .
Manyone function :
A function f : A B is said to be a many one function if two or more elements of A have the same
f image in B . Thus f : A B is many one if for ; x1, x2 A , f(x1) = f(x2) but x1 x2 .

(ii)

Any continuous function which has atleast one local maximum or local minimum, then f(x) is
manyone . In other words, if a line parallel to xaxis cuts the graph of the function atleast
at two points, then f is manyone .
If a function is oneone, it cannot be manyone and vice versa .

Onto function (Surjective mapping) :

If the function f : A B is such that each element in B (codomain) is the f image of atleast one element
in A, then we say that f is a function of A 'onto' B . Thus f : A B is surjective iff b B, some
a A such that f (a) = b .
Diagramatically surjective mapping can be shown as

OR
Note that : if range = codomain, then f(x) is onto.
Into function :
If f : A B is such that there exists atleast one element in codomain which is not the image of any
element in domain, then f(x) is into .
Diagramatically into function can be shown as

OR
Note that : If a function is onto, it cannot be into and vice versa . A polynomial of degree even will
always be into.

Thus a function can be one of these four types :

(a)

oneone onto (injective & surjective)

(b)

oneone into (injective but not surjective)

(c)

manyone onto (surjective but not injective)

(d)

manyone into (neither surjective nor injective)

Note : (i)
(ii)

If f is both injective & surjective, then it is called a Bijective mapping.

The bijective functions are also named as invertible, non singular or biuniform functions.
If a set A contains n distinct elements then the number of different functions defined from
A A is nn & out of it n ! are one one.

Identity function :
The function f : A A defined by f(x) = x x A is called the identity of A and is denoted by IA.
It is easy to observe that identity function is a bijection .

COMPOSITE OF UNIFORMLY & NON-UNIFORMLY DEFINED FUNCTIONS :

Let f : A B & g : B C be two functions . Then the function gof : A C defined by
(gof) (x) = g (f(x)) x A is called the composite of the two functions f & g .
f (x)

x
Diagramatically

g (f(x)) .

Thus the image of every x A under the function gof is the gimage of the fimage of x .
Note that gof is defined only if x A, f(x) is an element of the domain of g so that we can take its
g-image. Hence for the product gof of two functions f & g, the range of f must be a subset of the domain
of g.
PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE FUNCTIONS :
(i)
The composite of functions is not commutative i.e. gof fog .
(ii)
The composite of functions is associative i.e. if f, g, h are three functions such that fo (goh) &
(fog) oh are defined, then fo (goh) = (fog) oh .
(iii)
The composite of two bijections is a bijection i.e. if f & g are two bijections such that gof is
defined, then gof is also a bijection.

HOMOGENEOUS FUNCTIONS :
A function is said to be homogeneous with respect to any set of variables when each of its terms
is of the same degree with respect to those variables .
For example 5 x2 + 3 y2 xy is homogeneous in x & y . Symbolically if ,
f (tx , ty) = tn . f (x , y) then f (x , y) is homogeneous function of degree n .
BOUNDED FUNCTION :
A function is said to be bounded if f(x) M , where M is a finite quantity .
IMPLICIT & EXPLICIT FUNCTION :
A function defined by an equation not solved for the dependent variable is called an
IMPLICIT FUNCTION . For eg. the equation x3 + y3 = 1 defines y as an implicit function. If y has been
expressed in terms of x alone then it is called an EXPLICIT FUNCTION.
INVERSE OF A FUNCTION :
Let f : A B be a oneone & onto function, then their exists a unique function
g : B A such that f(x) = y g(y) = x, x A & y B . Then g is said to be inverse of f . Thus
g = f1 : B A = {(f(x), x) (x, f(x)) f} .
PROPERTIES OF INVERSE FUNCTION :
(i)
The inverse of a bijection is unique .
(ii)
If f : A B is a bijection & g : B A is the inverse of f, then fog = IB and
gof = IA , where IA & IB are identity functions on the sets A & B respectively.
Note that the graphs of f & g are the mirror images of each other in the
line y = x . As shown in the figure given below a point (x ',y ' ) corresponding to y = x2 (x >0)

changes to (y ',x ' ) corresponding to y = + x , the changed form of x = y .

ALGEBRAIC OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS :

If f & g are real valued functions of x with domain set A, B respectively, then both f & g are defined in
A B. Now we define f + g , f g , (f . g) & (f/g) as follows :
(i)
(f g) (x) = f(x) g(x)
(ii)
(f . g) (x) = f(x) . g(x)

Constant function :
A function f : A B is said to be a constant function if every element of A has the same f image in B .
Thus f : A B ; f(x) = c , x A , c B is a constant function. Note that the range of a constant
function is a singleton and a constant function may be one-one or many-one, onto or into .

NOTE : (a)
f (x) f (x) = 0 => f (x) is even & f (x) + f (x) = 0 => f (x) is odd .
(b)
A function may neither be odd nor even .
(c)
Inverse of an even function is not defined .
(d)
Every even function is symmetric about the yaxis & every odd function is
symmetric about the origin .
(e)
Every function can be expressed as the sum of an even & an odd function.

e.g. f ( x) =

(f)
(g)

f ( x) + f ( x ) f ( x) f ( x)
+
2
2

The only function which is defined on the entire number line & is even and odd at the same time
is f(x) = 0.
If f and g both are even or both are odd then the function f.g will be even but if any one of
them is odd then f.g will be odd .

14.

PERIODIC FUNCTION :
A function f(x) is called periodic if there exists a positive number T (T > 0) called the period of the
function such that f (x + T) = f(x), for all values of x within the domain of x.
e.g. The function sin x & cos x both are periodic over 2 & tan x is periodic over .
NOTE : (a)
f (T) = f (0) = f (T) , where T is the period .
(b)
Inverse of a periodic function does not exist .
(c)
Every constant function is always periodic, with no fundamental period .
(d)
If f (x) has a period T & g (x) also has a period T then it does not mean that
f (x) + g (x) must have a period T . e.g. f (x) = sinx + cosx.

If f (x) = f (x) for all x in the domain of f then f is said to be an even function.
e.g. f (x) = cos x ; g (x) = x + 3 .
If f (x) = f (x) for all x in the domain of f then f is said to be an odd function.
