, Chapter 1: Functions
1.1 Functions and Their Graphs
A function can be represented by an equation, a graph, a numerical table, or a verbal description.
Functions; Domain and Range
The value of one variable quantity, say y, depends on the value of another variable quantity, which
we often call x. We say that ‘’y is a function of x’’ and write this symbolically as
''
y=f ( x ) (' ' y equals f of x )
The symbol f represents the function, the letter x is the independent variable representing the input
value to f, and y is the dependent variable or output value of f at x.
Definition: A function f from a set D to a set Y is a rule that assigns a unique value to f(x) in Y to each
x in D.
The domain are all possible x. The range are all possible y. Changing the domain to which we apply a
formula usually changes the range as well. If the range of a function is a set of real numbers, the
function is real-valued. The domains and ranges of most real-valued functions we consider are
intervals or combinations of intervals.
Graphs of Functions
If f is a function with domain D, its graph consists of the points in the Cartesian plane whose
coordinates are the input-output pairs for f. In set notation, the graph is
{( x , f ( x ) ) ∣ x ∊ D }
The graph of a function f is a useful picture of its behaviour. If (x,y) is a point on the graph, then y=f(x)
is the height of the graph above (or below) the point x. The height may be positive or negative,
depending on the sign of f(x).
Representing a Function Numerically
A function may be represented algebraically by a formula and visually by a graph. Another way to
represent a function is numerically, through a table of values. The graph consisting of only the points
in the table is called a scatterplot.
The Vertical Line Test for a Function
A function f can have only one value f(x) for each x in its domain, so no vertical line can intersect the
graph of a function more than once. A circle can not be the graph of one function.
Piecewise-Defined Functions
Sometimes a function is described in pieces by using different formulas on different parts of its
domain. One example is the absolute value function
{−x ,∧x <0
|x|= x ,∧x ≥ 0
Piecewise-defined functions often arise when real-world data are modelled.
Increasing and Decreasing Functions
Definitions: Let f be a function defined on an interval I and let x1 and x2 be two distinct points in I.
1. If f(x2)>f(x1) whenever x1<x2, then f is said to be increasing on I.
