What is a function?
A function f from set A to set B, denoted f: A→B, is a subset of the Cartesian product A×B where for each element 'a' in A, there is exactly one pair (a, b) in the subset. 'A' is the domain, where 'b' is from codomain 'B'.

Study Notes
Fundamentals of Functions
- Functions are composed of a domain, codomain, and a subset of the product of the domain and codomain, subject to a specific condition. The domain is the set of input values, the codomain is the set of possible output values, and the subset is the set of mappings from inputs to outputs.
- A function maps each element in the domain to exactly one element (output) in the codomain.
- A function can be represented graphically by a plot of points or algebraically by an equation that links inputs (x) to outputs (y).
- Input variables are independent variables, while output variables are dependent variables.
- A function is represented by the notation f(x) = y, where f is the name of the function, x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable.
- Function notation follows this format, y = f(x) where x is the input (independent variable), and y is the output (dependent variable) and the name of the function.
- Not all formulas necessarily define a function. A formula needs both a domain and a codomain for it to properly define the function.
Types of Functions
- Constant maps: A function where all inputs map to a single output value (i.e., f(x) = c for all x).
- Identity maps: A function that returns the input value (i.e., f(x) = x).
- Inclusion maps: Maps a subset of one set to a larger superset.
- Restriction maps: A subset of input domain of a larger function which is restricted
- Extension maps: An extension of a function's domain.
- Projection maps: maps an element from two variables set to a single variable set (for example A x B → A).
Function Composition
- Combining two or more functions to create a new function. The output of the first function becomes the input of the second.
- Function composition is written as (g°f)(x) = g(f(x)), meaning the function g is performed after function f.
- The Codomain of the first function must equal the domain of the second function for composition to be valid.
Injectivity, Surjectivity, and Bijectivity
- Injective (one-to-one): Each distinct input has a distinct output; no two inputs map to the same output.
- Surjective (onto): Every element in the codomain is the output of at least one element in the domain.
- Bijective (one-to-one and onto): A function that is both injective and surjective.
- Graphs can be analyzed for injectivity, surjectivity and bijectivity by applying the horizontal line test, where horizontal lines intersect the graph at most once, twice, or multiple times (which determine if functions are injective, surjective or neither).
Inverse Functions
- The inverse function reverses the original function's mapping process.
- To be invertible, a function must be bijective (one-to-one and onto).
- If a function and its inverse exists, they satisfy the condition that f(f⁻¹(x)) = x and f⁻¹(f(x)) = x.
Defining f⁻¹
- Notations : f⁻¹(Q) = {x ∈ A | f(x) ∈ Q}, which refers to a set of x in the domain that maps to Q in the codomain This notation defines an inverse function as a set.
- A function f has an inverse f⁻¹ (which is also a function) if and only if f is bijective.
