GENERAL MATHEMATICS REVIEWER


I. DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT EACH GIVEN IS A FUNCTION.
1) {(1, 2), (2, − 2), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 10), (6, − 10), (7, 3), (8, 5)}

The given set of ordered pairs models a function. There is no first element being repeated.

2) {(1, 2), (2, − 2), (3, 3), (4, 2), (2, 10), (3, − 10), (2, 3), (1, 5)}

The given set of ordered pairs does not model a function. Some first elements were repeated.

3)

𝒙 −2 −1 0 1 2
The given table of values models a function. There

4 is no element in 𝑥 being repeated.


𝒚 4 1 0 1

4)

𝒙 4 1 0 1 4
The given table of values does not model a
function. Some elements in 𝑥 were repeated.
𝒚 −2 −1 0 1 2

II. VERTICAL LINE TEST

Definition: A graph represents a function if and only if no vertical line intersects the graph in
more than one point.

III. EVALUATION OF FUNCTION


 Finding a value of a given algebraic expression is to substitute the value(s) of the variable(s)
given to the expression.
 To evaluate a given function 𝑓(𝑥) is the same as finding the function value given the value
of the variable 𝑥 by substituting this value for the function. These values of 𝑥 must belong to
the domain of the function.

Examples:

IV. OPERATION ON FUNCTIONS

Let 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) be two functions defined in their respective domains. These functions can be
combined to form new function ℎ(𝑥) defined as follows:

V. COMPOSITION OF FUNCTIONS

Given two functions 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥), the composite function of 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) is defined and
denoted by: (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥)); and (𝑔 ∘ 𝑓)(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑓(𝑥))

VI. RATIONAL EQUATIONS, INEQUALITIES, AND FUNCTIONS

A rational equation is an equation containing at least one fraction whose numerator and
𝑝(𝑥)
denominator are polynomials, . These fractions may be on one or both sides of the equation.
𝑞(𝑥)

A rational inequality is an inequality that contains a rational expression, where a rational


expression is a ratio of two polynomials. That is, a rational expression is of the form 𝑝(𝑥)/𝑞(𝑥)
where 𝑝(𝑥) and 𝑞(𝑥) are polynomials and 𝑞(𝑥) is not zero.

A rational function is a function that is the ratio of polynomials.

Any function of one variable, x, is called a rational function if, it can be represented
p(x)
as f(x) = , where p(x) and q(x) are polynomials such that q(x) ≠ 0.
q(x)
