Key Concepts in Calculus

Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change and relationships between variables.
Functions describe the relationship between two variables and are fundamental in mathematical analysis.

Understanding Functions

Defined as a relation where each input is associated with exactly one output.
Functions can be graphed in the Cartesian coordinate system, with the domain as input values and range as output values.

Types of Functions

Even Functions: Symmetric about the y-axis; satisfies f(x) = f(-x).
Odd Functions: Symmetric about the origin; satisfies f(-x) = -f(x).
Other types include Linear, Polynomial, Exponential, Trigonometric, and Logarithmic functions.

Properties of Even and Odd Functions

Example 1: f(x) = -3x² + 4 is an even function (f(x) = f(-x)).
Example 2: f(x) = 2x³ - 4x is an odd function (f(-x) = -f(x)).
Example 3: f(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 4x + 4 is neither even nor odd.

Periodic Functions

Defined by f(x + kT) = f(x) where k is an integer and T is the period.
Graphs repeat in a cyclic manner over specified intervals.

Applications of Periodic Functions

Euler's Formula and Jacobi Elliptic Functions relate to oscillations and pendulum motion.
Fourier Series are used in diverse fields like quantum mechanics, signal processing, and heatwave representation.

Inverse Functions

Defined by rearranging y=f(x) to solve for x, then swapping x and y.
The graphs of a function and its inverse are symmetric around the line y=x.

Composite Functions

Formed when a function depends on an intermediate variable: y=f(g(x)).
Can generalize to multiple layers of functions.

Linear Functions

Expressed in the form y = ax + b, where "a" denotes the slope.
Fundamental for understanding straight-line relationships in mathematics.
