Functions Functions and and

Let X and Y be two nonempty sets of real numbers. A function from X into Y is a relation that associates with each element of X a unique element of Y.

The set X is called the domain of the function.

For each element x in X, the corresponding element y in Y is called the image of x. The set of all images of the elements of the domain is called the range of the function.

Example: Which of the following relations are function?

A Function

Not A Function

Functions are often denoted by letters such as f, F, g, G, and others. The symbol f(x), read “f of x” or “f at x”, is the number that results when x is given and the function f is applied.Elements of the domain, x, can be though of as input and the result obtained when the function is applied can be though of as output.

Restrictions on this input/output machine:

1. It only accepts numbers from the domain of the function.

2. For each input, there is exactly one output (which may be repeated for different inputs).

For a function y = f(x), the variable x is called the independent variable, because it can be assigned any of the permissible numbers from the domain.

The variable y is called the dependent variable, because its value depends on x.

The independent variable is also called the argument of the function.

Example: Given the function f x x( ) 2 52

Find: )3(f

f ( )3 2 3 5 232( )

f (x) is the number that results when the number x is applied to the rule for f.

Find: )( hxf

5)(2)( 2 hxhxf 2 2 52 2( )x xh h 2 4 2 52 2x xh h

The domain of a function f is the set of real numbers such that the rule of the function makes sense.

Domain can also be thought of as the set of all possible input for the function machine.Example: Find the domain of the following function:

g x x x( ) 3 5 13

Domain: All real numbers

Example: Find the domain of the following function:

s tt

( ) 4

1Domain of s is tt|1.

Example: Find the domain of the following function:

h z z( ) 2z 2 0z 2

Domain of h is zz|2.

Example: Express the area of a circle as a function of its radius.

Range: [-3,3]

Find f(0), f(4), and f(12)

f(0) = -3 f(4) = 0

f(12) does not exist since 12 isn’t in the domain of f

A function f is even if for every number x in its domain the number -x is also in the domain and f(x) = f(-x).

A function is even if and only if its graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

A function f is odd if for every number x in its domain the number -x is also in the domain and -f(x) = f(-x).

A function is odd if and only if its graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.

A function f is increasing on an open interval I if, for any choice of x1 and x2 in I, with x1 < x2, we have f(x1) < f(x2).

A function f is decreasing on an open interval I if, for any choice of x1 and x2 in I, with x1 < x2, we have f(x1) > f(x2).

A function f is constant on an open interval I if, for any choice of x in I, the values of f(x) are equal.
