CONCEPT OF FUNCTION
FUNCTION AND RELATION
What is Relation? Function?
RELATION FUNCTION
1. f(x) = x + 5 FUNCTION
★ It is a RULE that ★ It is a RELATION
relates values where each
from a set of domain in the
values from a set is related to
set of values only one range.
(called the ★ A set of ordered
Domain) to a pairs (x,y) such
second set of that no two
values (called ordered pairs
Range). have the same 2. x^(2) NON FUNCTION
★ It is also a set of x-values but
ordered pairs different
(x,y). y-values
EVALUATION OF FUNCTION

NOT FUNCTION
EVEN FUNCTION AND ODD
FUNCTION
EVEN ODD NEITHER ODD
FUNCTION FUNCTION NOR EVEN
FUNCTION
f (x) = f(-x) f(-x) = -f(x) f(x) ≠ f(-x) |
f(-x) ≠ -f(x)

OPERATION ON FUNCTION
The definition for operation on functions are
as follows. If f and g are functions the,
Sum of Function Product of Function

FORM TO EXPONENTIAL FORM AND VICE
VERSA.
COMPOSITION OF FUNCTION
The output of the function is used as the
input for another function.
EXAMPLES:
SOLVE FOR X SOLVE FOR X
INVERSE OF A FUNCTION
To find inverse of a function;
FIRST
Write the function in the form y = f(x).
SECOND
Interchange the x and y variables.
THIRD
Solve for y in terms of x.
DOMAIN AND RANGE
RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
DOMAIN is the set of all possible x-values.
IT IS A FUNCTION OF THE FORM - Find all x w/c do not make the
denominator equal to zero.
RANGE is the set of all possible y-values.
- Find the inverse of a function then
RATIONAL RATIONAL do the rule for finding the domain.

HOW TO FIND … OF A RATIONAL
FUNCTION
DOMAIN
● Find all x w/c do not make the
denominator equal to zero.
RANGE
● Find the inverse of the function, then
do the rule for finding the domain.
VERTICAL ASYMPTOTE
● Find the values of x where the
denominator of the reduced rational
function is zero. (x=a)
HORIZONTAL ASYMPTOTE
● If n<m, then y=0.
● f n=m, then y=a/b. (a & b are the
leading coefficient of numerator and
denominator)
● If n>m, then there is no horizontal
asymptote
X-INTERCEPT
● Find all values of x where the
numerator is zero but the
denominator is non-zero.
Y-INTERCEPT
● If zero is not in the domain, then
there is no y-intercept
● If zero is in the domain, then
y-intercept is f(0).
VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL X AND Y INTERCEPT
ASYMPTOTE
X-INTERCEPT
VERTICAL ASYMPTOTE (x=a) - Find all x w/c make the numerator
- Find all x w/c make the denominator equal to zero but the denominator is
of the reduced function equal to zero. non - zero
HORIZONTAL ASYMPTOTE Y -INTERCEPT
- If n<m, then y=0. - If zero is not in the domain, then
- If n=m, then y=a/b. (a & b are the there is no y-intercept.
leading coefficients of numerator - If zero is in the domain, then y
and denominator) If n>m, then there -intercept is f(0).
