1.1 Review On Functions

This document provides information about functions including: 1. The definition of a function as a rule that assigns each element in the domain to exactly one element in the range. 2. Ways functions can be represented including ordered pairs, tables, graphs, and equations. 3. The domain is the set of inputs and the range is the set of outputs. A function's domain may have restrictions like the denominator cannot be zero. 4. Functions can be increasing, decreasing, or constant based on how the output values change as the input increases. Even and odd functions are defined based on the behavior when the input is made negative.

Definition: Function
A function f from set A to set B is a rule
of correspondence that assigns to each
element x in set A exactly one
element y in set B.
Set A is the domain (or set of inputs) of
the function f, and set B contains
range (or set of outputs).
Functional Notation
Read f(x) = 3x - 4 as “f of x equals three times
x subtract 4.”
x inside parenthesis is the
input or independent variable.
f outside parenthesis is the
output or dependent variable.
For the function f(x) = 3x - 4,
f(5) = 3(5) - 4 = 15 - 4 = 11, and
f(-2) = 3(-2) - 4 = - 6 - 4 = -10.
Representation of functions

Functions may be represented by:


• Mapping/correspondence
• a set of ordered pairs,
• a table (table of values),
• graph (of the ordered pairs), or
• an equation

Vertical Line Test for a Function

A set of points in a coordinate


plane is the graph of
y as a function of x
if and only if no vertical line
intersects the graph at more than
one point.

• Domain and Range of Functions
• Special Functions
Domain of a Function
Generally, the domain is implied to be the set
of all real numbers that yield a real
number functional value (in the range).
Some restrictions to domain:
1. Denominator cannot equal zero (0).
2. Radicand must be greater than or equal to
zero (0), if the index is even.
3. Practical problems may limit domain.
Piece-Wise Defined Function

A “piecewise function” defines the function


in pieces (or parts).
In the function below,
if x is less than or equal to zero,
f(x) = 2x - 1; otherwise, f(x) = x2 - 1.

 2 x  1 if x  0
f ( x)   2
 x  1 if x  0
Increasing, Decreasing, and Constant
Function
On the interval containing x 1 < x2,
1. f(x) is increasing if f(x1) < f(x2).
Graph of f(x) goes up to the right.
2. f(x) is decreasing if f(x1) > f(x2).
Graph of f(x) goes down to the right.
On any interval,
3. f(x) is constant if f(x1) = f(x2).
Graph of f(x) is horizontal.
Even and Odd Functions
1. A function given by y = f(x) is even if,
for each x in the domain,
f(-x) = f(x).
2. A function given by y = f(x) is odd if,
for each x in the domain,
f(-x) = - f(x).
