Concept of Function
Function is one of the core concepts in Mathematics. Corresponds to exactly one element of the
second set or range.
Relation defined as a relationship between sets of information usually represented by ordered pairs.
The first value or elements of the ordered pairs called domain which represents all components of
x. The second elements called Range represent all components of y.
Evaluating Function:

Subtraction f-g (f·g)(x) = x4+3x3+x2-3x-2
(f-g)(x) = f(x)-g(x)

Rational Equation In rational equation, Least Common Denominator or LCD is taken into
consideration. Then, multiply them both sides of the equation to simplify the equation. Find the
values of the variable and look for extraneous root which will be the value that causes the
equation to be undefined.

Rational Inequality A rational inequality uses < , > , < , > for function of x or f(x) where f is a
rational equation to determine the solution set of rational inequality, transfer all terms in one side
using rules in solving equation to make the other side equal to zero. Then, follow the procedure
in solving rational equation.

Inverse Function if the function f is one to one with domain X and range Y, Then its inverse
function, denoted f1, has domain X and range Y and it is defined by; F-1 (y) = x if and only
f(x)=y for any y in B In the previous example if R=f(T) where resistance is a function of
temperature, then T=f1 (R) temperature is the inverse of function of resistance. It is read as “f-
inverse of R”.
