Study Notes

Quadratic Functions

  • A quadratic function is a polynomial function of degree two.
  • The standard form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0.
  • The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.
  • The vertex of the parabola is the point where the function reaches its maximum or minimum value.

Odd and Even Functions

  • A function f(x) is an odd function if f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain.
  • A function f(x) is an even function if f(-x) = f(x) for all x in the domain.

Domain and Range

  • The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values).
  • The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values).

Function Composition

  • The composition of two functions f(x) and g(x) is denoted by (f∘g)(x) and is defined as f(g(x))
  • The composition of functions is a way of combining two functions to create a new function.

Inverse Functions

  • The inverse of a function f(x) is denoted by f^-1(x) and is defined as the function that "undoes" the effect of f(x).
  • The inverse of a function only exists if the function is one-to-one, which means that each input value has a unique output value.
  • To find the inverse of a function, switch the x and y variables and then solve for y.
