Functions

• A function is a relationship that assigns each


input exactly one output.

• Example: In math, f(x) = x + 2 means adding 2


to any input x.
What is a Function?
• Definition: A function links each input to only
one output.

• To identify a function, use the Vertical Line


Test - if a vertical line crosses the graph more
than once, it's not a function.
Types of Functions
• 1. Linear Function: Example - f(x) = 2x + 3
• 2. Quadratic Function: Example - f(x) = x^2
• 3. Exponential Function: Example - f(x) = 2^x

• Each type has unique characteristics that


define its behavior.
Set-Builder Notation and Interval
Notation
• Example 1: f(x) = x^2, where x ≥ 0
• - Set-Builder Notation: { x | x ≥ 0 }
• - Interval Notation: [0, ∞)

• Example 2: f(x) = 1/x, where x ≠ 0


• - Set-Builder Notation: { x | x ≠ 0 }
• - Interval Notation: (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞)

• Domain: Range of valid inputs; determined by


Graphing a Function
• To graph a function:
• 1. Plot points by substituting values for x and
finding corresponding y.
• 2. Identify intercepts (where the graph crosses
axes).
• 3. Consider asymptotes if the function has
undefined points.

• Example: Graphing y = x^2 shows a parabolic


shape centered at the origin.
Application in Real Life Scenarios
• 1. Population Growth: Exponential functions
can model population growth over time.
• 2. Budgeting: Linear functions are used in
budgeting to forecast expenses based on
income.

• These applications show how functions help in


predicting and planning.
Summary and Conclusion
• Recap:
• - Functions assign each input one output.
• - Types include linear, quadratic, and
exponential functions.
• - Set-builder & interval notation clarify
function domains.

• Key Takeaway: Functions are crucial for solving


real-world problems in areas like science,
finance, and planning.
