Do you still remember?

1. x – 9
2. 3x + 7
3. X^2 + 4 – 10
4. 2x^2 - 6x + 26

Do you still remember?
Solution:
1. x–9 3. X^2 + 4 – 10
=3–9 = 3^2 + 4 - 10
= -6 = 11
2. 3x + 7 4. 2x^2 - 6x + 26
= 3(3) + 7 = 2(3)^2 – 6(3) + 26
= 16 = 26
5. 3x^2 – 6
= 3(3)^2 – 6
Types of Functions
Constant Function –
A constant function is a function that has the same
output value no matter what your input value is.
Because of this, a constant function has the form f
(x) = b, where b is a constant (a single value that
does not change).

Example : y = 7
Types of Functions
Identity Function –
The identity function is a function which returns the
same value, which was used as its argument. In
other words, the identity function is the function f (x)
= x , for all values of x.

Example: f (2) = 2
Types of Functions

Polynomial Function –
A polynomial function is defined by y = a^0 + a^1 x
+ a^2 x^2 +... a^n x^n, where n is a non-negative
integer and a^0 , a^1 , a^2 ,…, n ∈ R
Types of Functions

Linear Function –
The polynomial function with degree one. It is in the
form y = mx + b

Example: y = 2x + 5
Types of Functions
Quadratic Function –
If the degree of the polynomial function is two, then
it is a quadratic function. It is expressed as y = ax^2
+ bx + c , where a ≠ 0 and a, b, c are constant and
x is a variable.

Example: y = x^2 + 2x + 3
Types of Functions
Power Function -
A power function is a function in the form b y =
ax^b where b is any real constant number. Many of
our parent functions such as linear functions and
quadratic functions are in fact power functions.

Example: f(x) = 8x^5


Types of Functions
Rational Function -
A rational function is any function which can be
represented by a rational fraction say, p(x)/q(x) in which
numerator, p(x) and denominator, q(x) are polynomial
functions of x, where q(x) ≠ 0.

Example: f(x) = x^2 – 3x + 2 / x^2 – 4


Types of Functions
Exponential function -
These are functions of the form: y = ab^x , where x
is in an exponent and a and b are constants. (Note
that only b is raised to the power x; not a.) If the
base b is greater than 1 then the result is
exponential growth.

Example: y = 2^x
Types of Functions
Logarithmic Function –
Logarithmic functions are the inverses of exponential
functions, and any exponential function can be
expressed in logarithmic form. Logarithms are very
useful in permitting us to work with very large
numbers while manipulating numbers of a much
more manageable size. It is written in the form
y = logb x, x > 0, where b > 0 and b 1
Types of Functions
Absolute Value Function -
The absolute value of any number, c is represented
in the form of |c|. If any function f: R→ R is defined
by f (x) = |x| , it is known as absolute value
function. For each non-negative value of x, f(x) = x
and for each negative value of x, f(x) = -x, i.e., f(x)
= {x, if x ≥ 0; – x, if x < 0.
Types of Functions
Greatest Integer Function -
If a function f: R→ R is defined by f(x) = [x], x ∈ X.
It round-off to the real number to the integer less
than the number. Suppose, the given interval is in
the form of (k, k+1), the value of greatest integer
function is k which is an integer.

Example: f (x) = |x| + 1 where x is the greatest


Evaluating function
Evaluating function is the process of determining the
value of the function at the number assigned to a
given variable. Just like in evaluating algebraic
expressions, to evaluate function you just need to
a.) replace each letter in the expression with the
assigned value and
b.) perform the operations in the expression using
the correct order of operations. (PEMDAS)
