Review of Functions
Function
A function f is a rule that assigns to each value x in a set D
a unique value denoted f(x). The set D is the domain of the
function. The range is the set of all values of f(x) produced
as x varies over the entire domain.
If f is a function that maps elements of set X to elements
of set Y.

Set X is the domain Set Y is the range

- Set X is the domain of the function.


- The set of images in Y is the range of f.
- The set of all the elements of Y is called the codomain.
Function
A function is a special kind of relation where each element
of set X is related to one and only one element of Y.

Vertical Line Test:
If the vertical line cuts the graph at exactly one point, then the
graph is a function.
If the vertical line cuts the graph at more than one point, then
the graph is not a function.
Vertical Line Test for Functions
Do the graphs represent y as a function of x?

no yes yes

Secant Lines and the Difference Quotient
A line through any two points on the a curve is called a
secant line.

The slope of the secant line through P and Q, which is


denoted msec and is given by

change in y f  x  h   f  x  also known as a


msec   difference quotient
change in x  x  h  x
Example 3: Simply the difference quotient for
f(x) = x2 – 4x + 7.
Solution : f ( x  h)  f ( x )

Analyzing Graphs of Functions
Example 4:
Find:
a. the domain [-1,4)
(2,4)
b. the range [-5,4]

c. f(-1) = -5 (4,0)

d. f(2) = 4

Increasing and Decreasing Functions

-2 -1 1 2 3 4 5

1. The function is decreasing on the interval (-2, 0).


2. The function is constant on the interval (0, 3).
3. The function is increasing on the interval (3, 5).
A function f is increasing on an interval if, for any
x1 and x2 in the interval,
x1 < x2 implies f(x1) < f(x2)

A function f is decreasing on an interval if, for any


x1 and x2 in the interval,
x1 < x2 implies f(x1) > f(x2)

A function f is constant on an interval if, for any


x1 and x2 in the interval,
f(x1) = f(x2)

Here is a way to remember how to B
make the 3 basic Trig Ratios Hypotenuse
Opposite
A
Adjacent
1) Identify the Opposite and Adjacent
sides for the appropriate angle.

2) SOHCAHTOA is pronounced “Sew Caw Toe A” and it


means
Sin is Opposite over Hypotenuse, Cos is Adjacent over
Hypotenuse, and Tan is Opposite over Adjacent
