Definition of a Function

A function fff is a relation that assigns exactly one output f(x)f(x)f(x)


for each input x

2. Types of Functions

 Linear Functions:

o Form: f(x)=mx+cf(x) = mx + cf(x)=mx+c

o Graph: Straight line with slope mmm and y-intercept


ccc.

 Quadratic Functions:

o Form: f(x)=ax2+bx+cf(x) = ax^2 + bx +


cf(x)=ax2+bx+c

o Graph: Parabola opening upwards if a>0a > 0a>0 or


downwards if a<0a < 0a<0.

 Exponential Functions:

o Form: f(x)=a⋅bxf(x) = a \cdot b^xf(x)=a⋅bx

o Graph: Rapid growth or decay depending on the base


bbb.

3. Domain and Range

 Domain: The set of all possible inputs xxx.

 Range: The set of all possible outputs f(x)f(x)f(x).

4. Composite Functions

 Form: (f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))(f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))

 Example: If f(x)=2xf(x) = 2xf(x)=2x and g(x)=x+1g(x) = x +


1g(x)=x+1, then:

o (f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x+1)=2(x+1)=2x+2(f \circ g)(x) =


f(g(x)) = f(x + 1) = 2(x + 1) = 2x + 2(f∘g)
(x)=f(g(x))=f(x+1)=2(x+1)=2x+2

5. Inverse Functions

 If f(x)f(x)f(x) is a one-to-one function, its inverse f−1(x)f^{-1}


(x)f−1(x) satisfies:

o f(f−1(x))=xf(f^{-1}(x)) = xf(f−1(x))=x and


f−1(f(x))=xf^{-1}(f(x)) = xf−1(f(x))=x

 To find the inverse, swap xxx and yyy in the equation y=f(x)y
= f(x)y=f(x) and solve for yyy.

6. Key Graphing Techniques

 Identify intercepts (x-intercepts and y-intercepts).

 Determine symmetry (odd/even functions).

 Analyze asymptotes for rational functions.

7. Common Graphs

 Linear: y=mx+cy = mx + cy=mx+c

 Quadratic: y=ax2+bx+cy = ax^2 + bx + cy=ax2+bx+c

 Exponential: y=a⋅bxy = a \cdot b^xy=a⋅bx

 Logarithmic: y=log⁡b(x)y = \log_b(x)y=logb(x)
