Study Notes
Finding Domain & Range
- Domain is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which a function is defined.
- Range is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.
- To find the domain, consider what values of x would make the function undefined (e.g., division by zero).
- To find the range, consider what values of y can be achieved by the function.
Domain and Range Examples:
-
f(x) = (x-4)^2 + 5:
- Domain: All real numbers (represented as (-∞, ∞))
- Range: y ≥ 5 (represented as {y | y ≥ 5})
-
f(x) = 3x + 2 - 1:
- Domain: All real numbers
- Range: All real numbers
-
f(x) = 3 / (x-2):
- Domain: All real numbers except x = 2 (represented as {x | x ≠ 2})
- Range: All real numbers except y = 0 (represented as {y | y ≠ 0})
Representing Functions:
- Functions can be represented using tables, graphs, and formulas.
- Tables: Organize input (x) and output (y) values.
- Graphs: Visualize the function's relationship between input and output, plotting (x, y) points.
- Formulas: Express the function's rule, defining output (y) in terms of input (x).
Natural Domain:
- The domain of a function is considered the natural domain if no specific domain is given.
- This often means all real numbers where the function is defined.
- The square root function f(x) = √x has a natural domain of non-negative real numbers, as the square root of a negative number is not a real number.
Set-builder Notation:
- Defines a set of numbers using a specific property or condition.
- Example: {x | 1 < x < 5} represents the set of all real numbers x where x is greater than 1 and less than 5.
- The notation {x | x has some property} is read as "the set of real numbers x such that x has some property".
Interval Notation:
- Represents a range of numbers.
- Example: (1, 5) represents the interval of all numbers greater than 1 and less than 5 (excluding 1 and 5).
Even and Odd Functions:
- Even Function: f(x) = f(-x) for all x in the domain of f.
- Odd Function: f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain of f.
- Even Functions: Symmetric about the y-axis.
- Odd Functions: Symmetric about the origin (rotational symmetry).
Absolute Value Function:
- Defined as f(x) = -x for x < 0 and f(x) = x for x ≥ 0.
- Represented as |x|.
- Makes all nonzero inputs positive, but outputs 0 if x = 0.
- Range: y ≥ 0 (represented as {y | y ≥ 0}).
- Even function.
Vertical Line Test:
- Determines if a graph represents a function.
- If a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is not a function.
- If a vertical line intersects the graph at only one point, it is a function.
Function Combinations:
- Sum (f+g): (f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
- Difference (f-g): (f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
- Product (f⋅g): (f⋅g)(x) = f(x)⋅g(x)
- Quotient (f/g): (f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x) (where g(x) ≠ 0)
- Domain of Combinations: The domain of the new function is the intersection of the domains of f and g, excluding any values that would make the denominator zero in the case of the quotient (f/g).
