    Study Notes

    Types of Mathematical Functions

    Algebraic Functions

    • A function that can be expressed as a polynomial or a rational function (i.e., the quotient of two polynomials)
    • Examples: f(x) = x^2, f(x) = 1/x

    Trigonometric Functions

    • Functions that relate to the angles and triangles in a right triangle
    • Examples: sin(x), cos(x), tan(x)

    Exponential Functions

    • Functions that have a base raised to a power
    • Examples: f(x) = 2^x, f(x) = e^x

    Logarithmic Functions

    • Functions that are the inverse of exponential functions
    • Examples: f(x) = log(x), f(x) = ln(x)

    Function Operations

    Composition

    • Combining two functions by applying one function to the output of another
    • Notation: (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x))

    Inverse

    • A function that reverses the effect of another function
    • Notation: f^(-1)(x)

    Function Properties

    Domain

    • The set of all input values for which the function is defined

    Range

    • The set of all possible output values of the function

    Even and Odd Functions

    • Even function: f(-x) = f(x)
    • Odd function: f(-x) = -f(x)

    Graphical Representations

    Cartesian Coordinates

    • A system of coordinates that uses x and y axes to plot points

    Graph of a Function

    • A visual representation of a function's behavior
    • Can be used to identify key features such as maxima, minima, and asymptotes

    • Notation for function composition is (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)).
    • Inverse functions reverse the effect of another function.
    • Notation for inverse functions is f^(-1)(x).

    Function Properties

    • Domain is the set of all input values for which the function is defined.
    • Range is the set of all possible output values of the function.
    • Even functions satisfy the condition f(-x) = f(x).
    • Odd functions satisfy the condition f(-x) = -f(x).

    Graphical Representations

    • Cartesian coordinates use x and y axes to plot points.
    • Graph of a function is a visual representation of a function's behavior.
    • Graphs can be used to identify key features such as maxima, minima, and asymptotes.

    Graphing Equations

    • The general form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.
    • To graph an equation, follow these steps: write the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), plot the y-intercept on the coordinate plane, use the slope to find additional points on the line, and draw the line through the points.

    Distance Formula

    • The distance formula is used to calculate the distance between two points on a coordinate plane.
    • The formula is: √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
    • The distance formula can be used to find the length of a line segment, the distance between two points, or the radius of a circle.

    Slope-intercept Form

    • Slope-intercept form is a way of writing linear equations in the form y = mx + b.
    • In slope-intercept form, m is the slope (a measure of how steep the line is) and b is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).
    • Slope-intercept form is useful for graphing equations and identifying the slope and y-intercept.

    Midpoint Formula

    • The midpoint formula is used to find the midpoint of a line segment.
    • The formula is: ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints of the line segment.
    • The midpoint formula can be used to find the midpoint of a line segment, or to find the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment given the endpoints.
