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 identifying values that don't violate function rules (e.g.,
division by zero).
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.
• Example1 : Graphing y = x^2 shows a parabolic shape
centered at the origin.
• Example 2 : Graphing y=-x^2 shows a negative parabolic
shape
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.
