What are functions in mathematics?
A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of allowed outputs with the property that each input is associated with exactly one output. Let A and B be any two non-empty sets; The mapping from A to B is a function only if every element in set A has an edge, only one image in set B.
Example:
Another definition of a function is that it is a relation "f" in which each element of the set "A" is associated with a single element belonging to the set "B". Also in a function there cannot be two pairs with the same first element.
A condition for a function:
DefineAand adjustBmust not be empty.
In a function, a specific input is given to get a specific output. So a functionf: A->Bmeans that f is a function ofAProB, Where fromAis a domain andBis a codomain.

Vertical line test:
The vertical line test is used to determine whether or not a curve is a function. If a curve intersects a vertical line at more than one point, the curve is not a function.
function representation
Functions are usually represented asf(x).
you are f(x) = x3.
We say that f of x is equal to x cubes.
Functions can also be represented by g(), t(),...etc.
Steps to solve functions

(yo) t = 0
(ii) t = 2
Solution:
The given function is g(t) = 6t2+5
(i) At t = 0, g(0) = 6(0)2+ 5 = 5
(ii) Em t = 2, g(2) = 6(2)2+ 5 = 29

Composite and periodic functions
One - a function (injective function)
If each element in the scope of a function has a specific image in the scope, the function is calledone - one function.
For exampleF; R R given by f(x) = 3x + 5 is one – one.
many - one role
On the other hand, if there are at least two elements in the domain whose images are equal, the function is said to be a many-to-one function.
For examplef : R R dada por f(x) = x2+ 1 is many one.
in function (surjective function)
A function is calledin functionif each element in the range has at least one ancestor in the domain.
function
If there is at least one element in the range that is not an image of an element in the domain, the function is Into.
(Q) Let A = {x : 1 < x < 1} = B be a function f : A B, find the nature of the given function (P). F(x) = |x|
f(x) = |1|
Solution for x = 1 & -1
Therefore, it is very important that the range of f(x) be from [-1, 1] to [0, 1], which is not equal to the codomain.
So it works.
Suppose we have a function,
\(\begin{array}{l}f(x)=\left\{\begin{matriz} x^2 & ; & x\geq 0\\ -x^2 & ; & x<0 \end{matriz }\direita.\end{matriz} \)
For different input values, we have different outputs, so it's... a function that is also handled equals its codomain, so that's it too.
polynomial function
A real valued functionf : PAG → PAGdefined by
\(\begin{matriz}{l}y = f(a) = h_{0}+h_{1}a+…..+h_{n}a^{n}\end{matriz} \)
, Where fromnorte∈ norte mi h0+h1+ … + hnorte∈ P, for eacha ∈ P,it's called ppolynomial function.- norte= a non-negative integer.
- odegreeof the polynomial function is the highest power in the expression.
- yes orthe degree is Null, is called a constant function.
- yes orgrade is inand is called a linear function. Example: b = a+1.
- Graph type: Always a straight line.
Therefore, a polynomial function can be expressed as:
\(\begin{matriz}{l}f(x)= a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+…..+a_{1}x^{ 1}+a_{0}\end{matriz} \)
The highest power in expression is known asDegree of the polynomial function. The different types ofpolynomial functionsby grade are:
- The polynomial function is called a constant function if the degree is zero.
- The polynomial function is called linear if the degree is one.
- The polynomial function is quadratic if the degree is two.
- The polynomial function is cubic if the degree is three.
lineal funtion
All functions in the form of ax + b, where a, b∈R& a ≠ 0 calledlinear functions. The graph will be a straight line. In other words, the linear polynomial function is a first degree polynomial where the input must be multiplied by m and added to c. It can be expressed by f(x) = mx + c.
Example: f(x) = 2x + 1 at x = 1
f(1) = 2,1 + 1 = 3
f(1) = 3
Another example of a linear function is sy = x + 3
identical function
Of theThe functions f and g must be identicalwhat if
(a)The domain of f = domain of g
(b)The area of f = the area of g
(C)f(x) = g(x)∀ x ∈ DF&Dgram
For examplef(x) = x
\(\begin{matrix}{l}g(x) = \frac{1}{1/x}\end{matrix} \)
Solution: f(x) = x is defined for all x
but
\(\begin{matrix}{l}g(x) = \frac{1}{1/x}\end{matrix} \)
is undefined of x = 0So it is identical for x∈ R-{0}
quadratic function
All functions in the form y = ax2+ bx + conde a, b, c∈R, a ≠ 0 will be known as a quadratic function. The graph will be parabolic.
\(\begin{matriz}{l}\text{At}\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{D}}{2}\end{matriz} \)
, we get its maximum at the minimum value depends on the leading coefficient and this value is -D/4a (where D = discriminant)in a nutshell,
A quadratic polynomial function is a polynomial of the second degree and can be expressed as;
F(x) = ax2+ bx + c, and a is nonzero.
where a, b, c are constants and x is a variable.
Example, f(x) = 2x2+ x - 1 y x = 2
Se x = 2, f(2) = 2,22+ 2 – 1 = 9
For example: y = x2
For more information, see:quadratic function formula
rational function
These are real functions of type
\(\begin{matriz}{l}\frac{f(a)}{g(a)}\end{matriz} \)
Where fromFa)miGeorgia)are polynomial functions ofadefined in a domain whereg(a) ≠ 0.- For examplef : PAG – {– 6} → PAGdefined by
\(\begin{array}{l}f(a) = \frac{f(a+1)}{g(a+2)}\forall a\in P – {-6},\end{array} \)
Is arational function. - Graph type: asymptotes (the curves touch the lines of the axes).
algebraic functions
An algebraic equation is known as a function consisting of a finite number of terms, involving powers and roots of the independent variable x and basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
For example,
\(\begin{matriz}{l}f(x)=5x^{3}-2x^{2}+3x+6\end{matriz} \) \(\begin{matriz}{l}g(x)=\frac{\sqrt{3x+4}}{(x-1)^{2}}\end{matriz} \)
cubic function
A cubic polynomial function is a polynomial of the third degree and can be expressed as;
F(x) = ax3+ bx2+ cx + d y a is nonzero.
In other words, any function of the form f(x) = ax3+ bx2+ cx + d, onde a, b, c, d∈R& and ≠ 0
For example:y = x3
Domain∈R
Reach∈R
module function
the true functionf : PAG → PAGdefined by f(a) = |a| = that when that≥ 0. y f(a) = -a si a < 0 ∀ a ∈p is calledmodule function.
- DomainVonF=PAG
- reachF=P+tu {0}
\(\begin{matriz}{l}y=|x|=\left\{\begin{matriz} x & x\geq 0\\ -x & x<0 \end{matriz}\right.\end{ Vielfalt} \)
Domain: R
Range: [0,∞)
signal function
the true functionf : PAG → PAGis defined by
\(\begin{matriz}{l}\left\{\begin{matriz}\frac{\left | f(a) \right |}{f(a)}, a\neq 0 \\ 0, a= 0 \end{matriz}\right.= \left\{\begin{matriz} 1, cae x>0\\ 0, cae x=0\\ -1, cae x<0\end{matriz}\right. \end{matriz} \)
dicesignal functionosignal function. (indicates the sign of the real number)
- Domain of definition of f =PAG
- range f = {1, 0, - 1}
Example: Character(100) = 1
sign (register 1) = 0
character(x)21) =1
largest integer function
the true functionf : PAG → PAGdefined byf(a) = [a], a ∈ PAGtakes the value of the largest integer that is less than or equal toa,dicelargest integer function.
- Then f(a) = [a] = – 1 for – 1 ⩽ a < 0
- f(a) = [a] = 0 for 0 ⩽ a < 1
- [a] = 1 for 1 ⩽ a < 2
- [a] = 2 for 2 ⩽ a < 3 and so on...
olargest integer functionalways gives full power. The largest integral value obtained from the input is the output.
For example: [4,5] = 4
[6,99] = 6[1,2] = 2Domain∈R
Reach∈all
fraction function
{x} = x – [x]
It always gives a fractional value as output.
For example:- {4,5} = 4,5 – [4,5]
= 4,5 – 4 = 0,5
{6,99} = 6,99 – [6,99]
= 6,99 – 6 = 0,99
{7} = 7 – [7] = 7 –7 = 0
even and odd function
If f(x) = f(-x) then the function is even & f(x) = -f(-x) then the function is odd
Example 1:
f(x) = x2sin
f(-x) = -x2sin
Here, f(x) = -f(-x)
It is a strange feature.
Example 2:
\(\begin{matriz}{l}f(x)={{x}^{2}}\end{matriz} \)
mi
\(\begin{matriz}{l}f(-x)={{x}^{2}}\end{matriz} \)
f(x) = f(-x)
It is an even function.
periodic function
A function is said to be periodic if there exists a positive real number T such that f(u – t) = f(x) for every region x ε.
For example f(x) = sin x
f(x + 2π) = sen (x + 2π) = sen x fundamental
then the period of sin x is 2π
compound function
Let A, B, C be three non-empty sets.
you are f:a→B y G: G→C can be two functions, so gof : A→C. This function is called data composition of f and g gof(x) = g(f(x)).
For example f(x) = x2&g(x) = 2x
f(g(x)) = f(2x) = (2x)2= 4x2
g(f(x)) = g(x2) = 2x2
constant function
The functionf : PAG → PAGis defined bysecond = f(x) = D,a ∈PAG, Where fromDis a constant∈ PAG, is a constant function.
- domain off = pag
- reachf = {D}
- Graph Type: A straight line parallel to the x-axis.
In simple terms, the polynomial of degree 0, where f(x) = f(0) = a0= do. Regardless of the input, the output is always a constant value. The graph for this is a horizontal line.
identity function
PAG= my real numbers
The functionf : PAG → PAGdefined byb = f(a) = unfor each∈ PAGis called the identity function.
- domain ofF=PAG
- reachF=PAG
