C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
It would be near impossible to
describe all the functions out there.
Luckily, in calculus, our methods only
work on functions that are sufficiently
“well-behaved”. The following are the
families we will be studying:
1. Polynomials
2. Rational
3. Algebraic
4. Exponential
5. Trigonometric
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
•Polynomials
For any real number m, the function
is called a power function.
A polynomial is a sum of multiples of
power functions with whole number
exponents.
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
•Polynomials
The general form of a polynomial is:
- The numbers are called coefficients.
- The degree of P(x) is n (assuming ).
- The coefficient is called the leading coefficient.
- The domain of P(x) is R.
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
Polynomials
Is f(x) = x + x-1 a polynomial? Why not?
Example:
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
•Rational
Functions
A rational function is a quotient of two
polynomials.
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
Rational Functions
Analyze this statement: “Every
polynomial is a rational function, but not
every rational function is a polynomial.”
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
•Algebraic
Functions
An algebraic function is produced by
taking sums, products, and quotients
of roots of polynomials and rational
functions.
Example:
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
•Algebraic
Functions
In general, algebraic functions are
defined by polynomial equations
between x and y. This means y is
implicitly defined as a function of x.

of functions.

•Exponential
Functions
The function where b > 0, is called
the exponential function with base b.
The most common exponential
function in calculus is (e is the
decimal by the door).
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
Trigonometric Functions
Functions built from sin(x) and cos(x)
are trigonometric functions.
Sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent,
secant, and cosecant.
We will get to these soon…
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
Constructing New Functions
By taking the sum, difference,
product, quotient, or composition of
these basic families of functions, all*
the functions we will see in calculus
can be created. We call these
creations “elementary functions”.
C6: Describe the basic classes
of functions.
Summary:
• All the functions we will see can be
created from combining the families
of functions here.
