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.
