    Study Notes

    Functions and Their Properties

    • A function (or map) assigns one element from a set B (co-domain) to each element from a set A (domain).
    • Both domain and co-domain are non-empty.
    • Notation: f: A → B (f is a function from A to B)
    • Argument (input) x ∈ A is inserted into the function f.
    • Function value f(x) ∈ B is the element from the co-domain to which x is mapped.
    • Image of f: Im(f) - Set of all function values.
    • A function value is unique for a given input. Several inputs can map to the same output value.

    Types of Functions

    • Identity function: Maps each element to itself (id(x) = x).
    • Constant function: Assigns a single element to all inputs (const(x) = c).
    • Absolute value function: Maps negative inputs to positive outputs. |x| = x if x ≥ 0, -x if x < 0

    Graphical Representation

    • Graph of a function: Visual representation in a coordinate system.
    • Point pairs (x, f(x)) represent the graph.

    Elementary Functions

    • Linear function: f(x) = ax + b (a, b are real numbers). The graph is a straight line.

      • 'a' determines the slope of the line.
      • 'b' is the y-intercept.

    • Quadratic function: f(x) = ax² + bx + c (a, b, c are real numbers, a ≠ 0). The graph is a parabola.

      • Parabola opens upwards if a > 0.
      • Parabola opens downwards if a < 0.
      • Parameter 'c' shifts the parabola vertically.
      • Parameter 'b' shifts the vertex horizontally.

    • Third-order polynomial function: f(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d

    • Polynomial functions of degree n: A generalized polynomial function, expressed using the sum symbol Σ, describing terms with increasing input variable powers.

    Composition of Functions

    • Composition: Combining functions.
      • Given functions f: A → B and g C → D, where all values in f(A) are also in the domain of g (f(x) ∈ C for all x ∈ A), the composition g ∘ f: A → D has the form g(f(x)).
      • Calculation order: Inner function first, then outer function.
    • Composition is not commutative (f ∘ g ≠ g ∘ f).

    Properties of Functions

    • Surjective: Function f: A → B is surjective if every element in the co-domain B has at least one corresponding element in the domain A.

    • Injective: Function f is injective if different input values result in different output values. That is, if f(x₁) = f(x₂), then x₁ = x₂.

    • Bijective: Function f is bijective if it is both surjective and injective.

    Invertible Functions

    • Invertible function: A function that has an inverse function.
    • Inverse function (f⁻¹): A function g that reverses the effect of function f.
    • g ∘ f = identity and f ∘ g = identity
    • For a function to be invertible, it must be bijective.

    Exponential Functions

    • General exponential function: f(x) = aˣ, where a is a positive constant and x is any number.
    • Used for growth or decay models.

    Logarithmic Functions

    • Logarithmic function: g(x) = logₐx, the inverse of exponential function.
    • loga(aˣ) = x and a logₐx = x

    Natural Exponential Function

    • Natural exponential function: exp(x) = eˣ.
    • Exp(x) is used for modeling growth and decay processes and continuously-compounded interest calculations.
    • Euler's constant (e) is ≈ 2.718.

    Trigonometric Functions

    • Defined using the unit circle.
    • Includes sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent.
    • Periodic functions (values repeat).
    • Inverse trigonometric functions exist when the domain of the original function is restricted to an interval where the function is strictly monotonically increasing or decreasing. These restricted functions are thus bijective and invertible. 
      • Includes arcsine, arccosine, arctangent, and arccotangent.
