    The document provides an overview of different types of functions including: 1) Identity functions which return the same value as the input. Absolute value functions contain an expression within absolute value symbols. 2) Piecewise functions are defined by multiple equations that each apply to different parts of the domain. 3) Common functions include linear, quadratic, and constant functions. Linear functions have an equation of the form y=mx+b. Quadratic functions have the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c. 4) Operations on functions include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division which follow specific rules like combining like terms.

    General Mathematics Reviewer Identity Function is a function that always

    returns the same value as its argument. In other


    words, the identity function is the function
    Lesson 1.1 - Representation of Function f(x) = x.

    Function – is a relation where for every value of Absolute Value Function is a function that
    the independent variable (x) there is a unique contains an algebraic expression within
    value of the dependent variable (y). absolute value symbols. Recall that the absolute
    value of a number is its distance from 0 on the
    number line. The absolute value parent
    Function vs Not Function function, written as f(x)=| x |.

    A function may also be expressed in terms of Piecewise Function is a function defined by at


    equation. An equation is a function if the least two equations ("pieces"), each of which
    dependent variable is raised to an odd power. applies to a different part of the domain.
    Piecewise defined functions can take on a
    A function may also be in the form of a graph. variety of forms. Their "pieces" may be all
    We use the vertical line test to determine if the linear, or a combination of functional forms
    graph is a function or not. The vertical line must (such as constant, linear, quadratic, cubic,
    intersect the graph at only one point, otherwise square root, cube root, exponential, etc.).
    the graph is not a function.

    Lesson 1.2 - Evaluation of Function


    Kinds of Functions
    The function y = 3x^2 + 4x - 5 can be written as
    Linear Function whose general equation is y = f(x) = 3x^2 + 4x - 5 which is read as the
    mx + b, where m and b stand for constants and “function of x equals 3x^2 + 4x - 5.” f(x) is used
    m ≠ 0. A function in which the highest power in function notation. It replaces the dependent

    function that is represented by a line when same as the independent variable

    Quadratic Function is a function that can be

    + bx + c, where a ≠ 0. In a quadratic function, Addition and Subtraction
    the greatest power of the variable is 2. The
    graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. - Combine Similar Terms

    Constant Function is a linear function for which ( f + g )( x )=(2 x¿¿ 2+ 4 x−7)+(3 x 2−3 x +9) ( f + g ) ( x )=5 x2 + x
    the range does not change no matter which
    member of the domain is used. f(x1)=f(x2) for
    any x1 and x2 in the domain. With a constant
    function, for any two points in the interval, a
    change in x results in a zero change in f(x).
    Multiplication

    f (x) where N(x) and D(x) are polynomials
    D( x )
    - Factor the Numerator and/or the Denominator
    and D(x) is not a zero polynomial.
    and then cancel the common factor or just leave
    it as the final answer if there is none
    A rational Inequality is composed of rational

    Lesson 1.4 – Word Problems on Functions

    Step 1: Write a function for the Problem

    Step 2: Solve the equation, answer the problem.

    Example:

    At the Manila East Acropolis, a bike is for rent. A


    minimum amount of Php 100 has to be paid and
    additional Php 50 per hour will be charged in
    excess of 1 hour or a fraction thereof. How
    much will it cost you if you would like to rent for
    3.5 hours?

    Step 1: Write a function for the Problem

    Y = Rent X = Hours

    y=100+ 50 ( [ x ] −1 )

    Step 2: Solve the equation, answer the problem.

    y=100+ 50 ( [ 3.5 ] −1 ) y =100+50 ( 4−1 ) y=100+50 ( 3 ) y=100+150 y=250


    Answer: It will cost me Php 250.00 to rent a bike
    for 3.5 hours.

    Lesson 2.1 – Concepts on Functions

    A rational expression is nothing more than a


    fraction in which the numerator and/or the
    denominator are polynomials.
