FUNCTION
-It is a relation in which each element of the domain
corresponds to exactly one element of the range.
-relationships between two or more variables.
Ordered Pairs – (x,y)
Domain – First set of coordinates
OPERATION ON FUNCTIONS
Range – Second set of coordinates
Function can be represented in different ways:
Table of Values
Ordered Pairs
Graph
Equation
Function – Many to One
Not a Function – One to Many
Vertical Line Test - A graph represents a function if and only if
each vertical line intersects the graph at most once.
EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONS
Function Notation - y=f(x) tells that y is a function of x
f(x) is read as “f of x” representing value of function x.
Odd or Even Functions
Even Functions
The function f is an even function if and only if changing (-x)
COMPOSITION ON FUNCTIONS
to the givn variables, it will go back to its original equation.
Odd Functions
The function f is an odd function if and only if changing (-x) to
the given variables will change ALL signs of the given
equation.
Neither
If the given function does not meet all the given statements
above.
Step 1: Write the Composition: (g∘f)(x)=g[f(x)]
Step 2: Substitute the First Function: substitute f(x) into g(x)
Step 3: Replace x by the Second Function
Step 4: Combine Like/Simillar Terms
Step 5: Simplify
Domain - Find the value that makes the number the function
undefined, by getting its Extraneous Roots.
Extraneous Roots - Is a solution to an equation which looks
correct but after analyzing turns out as incorrect.
- The roots of the equation that will make the rational
equation undefined.
Range - To find the range of a rational function, you need to
find the domain of the inverse function. (−∞, + ∞)
RATIONAL FUNCTION
Asymptote of Rational Function
Asymptote - In graphing a rational function there are times
where its graph is getting closer to a certain line or curve.
Vertical Asymptote - At the value(s) for which the domain is
undefined, there will be one or more vertical asymptotes. Solving Rational Expression
Steps in Solving Rational Expression:
1. Identify the LCD
2. Multiply each side of the equation by the LCD
3. Solve the resulting equation
4. Check the answer (by substitution). If the answer is a
solution or not.
Extraneous Roots – roots or solutions that does not solve its
equation. A false value.
Horizontal Asymptote
Operation Involving Rational Functions
INVERSE FUNCTION
Defined as a function, which can reverse into
another function
In simple words if any function “f” takes x to y then,
the inverse of “f” will take y to x
If the function is denoted by “F” or “f”, then the
inverse function is denoted by f^-1 or F^-1
EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION
In finding for the inverse of Domain and Range given
Ordered Pairs, The values of Domain will interchange
with values of Range and vice versa.
Graphs of Inverse Functions - Inverse functions have graphs
that are reflections over the line y = x and thus have reversed
ordered pairs.
One to One Function - no two elements in the domain of f
correspond to the same element in the range of f.
Horizontal & Vertical Line Test -intersecting a function's graph
at most once.
Steps in finding the inverse of a one-to-one function:
1. Replace f(x) with y.
2. Interchange x and y.
3. Solve this equation for y.
4. The resulting equation f ^-1(x)
Exponential Equation – Includes equation with variables in the
exponent.
Logarithmic Function
Logarithm – is an exponent. The common base logarithm has
a base of 10.
