Study Notes
Functions in Algebra
- A function is defined as a relation where each input has exactly one corresponding output.
- In a function, "y" is a function of "x," meaning each "x" value can only yield one "y" value, preventing multiple outputs for a single input.
Types of Functions
-
Three primary types of functions include:
- Linear
- Quadratic
- Exponential
-
Additional types of functions:
- One-to-one (Injective)
- Many-to-one
- Onto (Surjective)
- Into
- Polynomial
- Identical
- Linear
- Quadratic
Writing and Describing Functions
- Functions can be written using a function name, like f(x), g(x), or h(t) for functions dependent on time.
- Each function establishes a relationship between inputs and permissible outputs, exemplified by mapping a number to its square (e.g., f(x) = x^2).
Identifying Functions
- The vertical line test is used to determine if a relation is a function; it must intersect the graph only once at any location.
- An equation is a function if it fits the definition of associating each input with only one output; some equations do not satisfy this condition.
Parent and Family Functions
- Parent functions are the simplest forms in a function family, examples include:
- Linear
- Quadratic
- Cubic
- Absolute
- Reciprocal
- Exponential
- Logarithmic
- Square Root
- Trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, cosecant)
Concepts and Characteristics
- Functions are tied to specific rules or formulas, mapping input values to output values.
- A function defines a unique output for each input value from two non-empty sets (A and B).
Functions in Excel
- Key Excel functions include:
- VLookup
- Concatenate
- Text to Columns
- Remove Duplicates
- Pivot Tables
Summary of Function Types
- Functions can be divided into different types, including polynomial functions based on their degree; a polynomial is a constant function if its degree is zero.
