Functions Review
A function 𝑓 is a rule that assigns to each element 𝑥 in a set 𝐷 exactly one element, called 𝑓(𝑥), in a
set 𝐸.

𝐷 is the domain of the function


𝐸 is the range of the function

Types of Functions
Linear
𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
Where: 𝑚 is the slope and 𝑏 is the y-intercept

Ex. 𝑓(𝑥) = −𝑥 + 4

Polynomial
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎 𝑥 + 𝑎 𝑥 + ⋯+ 𝑎 𝑥 + 𝑎 𝑥 + 𝑎
n is a non-negative integer
n is the degree of the polynomial if an
a0, a1, a2, …, an are constant coefficients

Quadratic: degree 2
Cubic: degree 3

Quadratic Quadratic Cubic


𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) = −𝑥 − 2𝑥 + 1 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥

Degree 4 Degree 5
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 4𝑥 + 𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) = 6𝑥 − 11𝑥 + 8𝑥

Power Functions Polynomial functions with only 1 term


𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥
3 Cases: 1. 𝑛 > 1
2. 0 < 𝑛 < 1 (root function)
3. 𝑛 is negative integer (reciprocal function)
Case 1 Case 1 Case 1
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥

Case 2 Case 2 Case 3


/ /
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥

Exponential Functions
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎
2 cases: 1. a > 1
2. a <1

𝑓(𝑥) = 2 𝑓(𝑥) = 0.5

Logarithmic functions
𝑓(𝑥) = log (𝑥)

Combination of Functions
(𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)

Composite Functions
(𝑓 ◦ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓 𝑔(𝑥)

Piecewise Functions
functions defined by multiple sub-functions and each sub function has a different interval in the domain.
𝑥 , 𝑥 > −1
Example 1: Sketch the graph function 𝑓(𝑥) =
1 − 𝑥, 𝑥 ≤ −1

Example 2: Write a formula for a piecewise function that will generate the following graph

Trigonometric Functions

𝑓(𝑥) = sin 𝑥

𝑓(𝑥) = cos 𝑥

𝑓(𝑥) = tan 𝑥
