Functions and Basic Algebra
 Definition of a Function
A function is a rule that assigns to each element in a set exactly
one element, called , in a set .

• Notation: .
• is called the input (independent
variable).
• is called the output (dependent
variable).
• The set is called domain.
• The set is called co-domain.
• The set of all outputs is called the
range.

Note: We usually represent functions using algebraic formulas.

 Definition of a Function
Example 1: Consider the function

Find the domain, the co-domain, and the range.

Solution:

• . • Domain = .

• . • Co-domain = .

• . • Range = .

Graph of a Function

• The graph of a function is a

geometric representation of the
function.

• We will usually be interested in the

‘general shape’ of the function, so
sketching the graph is enough.

• Knowing the most frequently used

types of functions will help in
sketching a graph.
 Types of Functions
• Constant function: .
 Output is always the constant
 Its graph is a horizontal line.

Graph of

• Linear function: .
 Its graph is always a straight line.

Graph of
 Types of Functions
• Quadratic functions: .
 The graph is always a parabola.

 Types of Functions
• Rational functions:

( )

is a rational function.

• R

is a root function.

A function is called an algebraic function if it can be constructed

using algebraic operations ( ) starting from polynomials.

 Types of Functions
A function is called a transcendental function if is not algebraic

• Natural logarithmic function:

.

• Trigonometric functions:
 Types of Functions
A piecewise function is a function defined by multiple sub-functions,
where each sub-function applies to a different sub-domain and are
grouped together via the symbol.

Example 6: Let

Find .

Solution:
• . • .

• . • .

 Types of Functions
The absolute value or modulus of a real number , denoted , is the non-
negative value of without regard to its sign.

Example 6:

is the absolute value function. It can be written as a piecewise function as

follows:

• . • .

• . • .
 Factoring Polynomials
1. Factoring by common factor:
•
•
•
•

2. Factoring by grouping (works well if we have 4 terms):

•

•
 Factoring Trinomials
A trinomial is an expression of the form

To factor the trinomial :

• Find two numbers that have a product equal to and a sum equal to .
• Replace by the sum of two like terms whose coefficients are the two numbers
found in the previous step.
• Factor the resulting four-term polynomial by grouping.
