Review of Functions
Function, domain, and range
• A function 𝑓 consists of a set of
inputs, a set of outputs, and a
rule for assigning each input to
exactly one output.
• The set of inputs: domain of 𝑓
• The set of outputs: range of 𝑓

Example
• 𝑓 𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 1
• 𝑓 𝑥 : 1, 𝑓 1 = 6 ; 2, 𝑓 2 = 4 ; 3, 𝑓 3 = 2 ; 4, 𝑓 4 = 2
3𝑥 + 1 𝑥 ≥ 2
• 𝑓 𝑥 =ቊ 2
𝑥 𝑥<2

• Example Evaluating the function 𝑓 𝑥 = 3𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 1 at
𝑓 −2 , 𝑓 2 , 𝑓 𝑎 + ℎ
• Example Finding domain and range of the following

Vertical line test
• Given a function 𝑓, every vertical line that may be drawn
intersects the graph of 𝑓 no more than once. If any
vertical line intersects a set of points more than once, the
set of points does not represent a function

Zeros and 𝑦-intercepts of a function
• Zeros of a function : values of 𝑥 such that 𝑓 𝑥 = 0
• 𝑦-intercept of a function 𝑓: 𝑓 0

Example Consider the function 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 + 3 + 1


a) Find all zeros of 𝑓
b) Find the 𝑦-intercept (if any)
c) Sketch a graph of 𝑓

Increasing/decreasing function
• A function 𝑓 is increasing on the
interval 𝐼 if for all 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 ∈ 𝐼,
𝑓 𝑥1 ≤ 𝑓 𝑥2 when 𝑥1 < 𝑥2 . 𝑓 𝑥 = 3𝑥
• A function 𝑓 is decreasing on the
interval 𝐼 if for all 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 ∈ 𝐼,
𝑓 𝑥1 ≥ 𝑓 𝑥2 when 𝑥1 < 𝑥2 .
• A function 𝑓 is strictly increasing on
the interval 𝐼 if for all 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 ∈ 𝐼,
𝑓 𝑥1 < 𝑓 𝑥2 when 𝑥1 < 𝑥2 .
• A function 𝑓 is strictly decreasing
on the interval 𝐼 if for all 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 ∈ 𝐼, 𝑓 𝑥 = −𝑥 3

𝑓 𝑥1 > 𝑓 𝑥2 when 𝑥1 < 𝑥2 .

Increasing/decreasing function
• Example Determine which function is decreasing, increasing or
non-decreasing/increasing on its domain
• 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑏 𝑥 , 0 < 𝑏 < 1, 𝐷 = ℝ
Consider 𝑥1 < 𝑥2 , then 𝑓 𝑥1 − 𝑓 𝑥2 = 𝑏 𝑥1 − 𝑏 𝑥2 = 𝑏 𝑥1 1 − 𝑏 𝑥2−𝑥1
𝑏 𝑥1 > 0
𝑥2 − 𝑥1 > 0 ൡ ⇒ 𝑓 𝑥1 − 𝑓 𝑥2 > 0 ⇒ 𝑓 decreases
ቅ ⇒ 𝑏 𝑥2−𝑥1 < 1
0<𝑏<1

• 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 2𝑘+1 , 𝑘 ∈ ℕ
