Concept of Functions
It is a relationship between inputs and outputs where each
input is related to exactly one output
Function Notation: y = f (x)
Examples Of Function
• y=2x+1
• y=tan(x)
Examples of Not a Function
• x=y^2
• Circle
• Ellipse

Categories of Functions
1. Inverse Functions
2. Logarithmic Functions
3. Algebraic Functions
4. Trigonometric Functions
5. Exponential Functions

Domain Of Function
The set of all the possible inputs of the function
Constraints on Domain
• f(x) must be real
• f(x) must be defined
Key Points for finding Domain
• Rational Functions : Denominator 0
• Square Root Functions: >= 0
• Logarithmic Functions : (0,)
• Exponential Functions :

Range Of Function
The set of all the possible outcomes of a function w.r.t. its domain
Tid Bit for Range
Solve your function for x in terms of y and then find its defined behaviour
Range vs Co-Domain
• Range
• Range : Set of actual/desired outcomes from a function
• Co-Domain : Set of all the possible outcomes either Desired or not
Desired from a function

Vertical Line Test
If the vertical line cuts the graph of the equation at
only one point, then it is a function else not
