Mapping that are either

The set of input values for a function is called the domain of the function.

The set of output values for function is called the range ( or image set) of
the function.

whether the relation is a function.

Additional Mathematics 1 Functions

Functions are a fundamental concept in mathematics and come in various types, each
with unique characteristics. Here are some of the primary types of functions:

a. Liner Functions:
• Form: f(x) = mx + b
• Graph: Straight line
• Example: f(x) = 2x + 3
b. Quadratic Functions:
• Form: f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
• Graph: Parabola
• Example: f(x) = x2 – 4x + 4
c. Polynomial Functions:
• Form: f(x) = anxn + an-1 xn-1 + … + a1x + a0
• Graph: Can vary, smooth curve
• Example: f(x) = x3 – 2x2 + x -5
d. Rational Functions:
𝑝(𝑥)
• From: f(x) = 𝑞(𝑥) where p(x) and q(x) are polynomials and q(x) ≠ 0
• Graph: Can have vertical and horizontal asymptotes
𝒙𝟐 −𝟏
• Example: f(x) = 𝒙+𝟐

e. Exponential Functions:

• Form: f(x) = a. bx
• Graph: Exponential growth or decay
• Example: f(x) = 2x

f. Logarithmic Functions:

• Form: f(x) = logb (x)


• Graph:
• Example: f(x) = log2(x)

g. Trigonometric Functions:

• Includes sine, cosine, tangent, etc


• Graph:
• Example: f(x) = sin(x), f(x) = cos(x)

h. Inverse Functions:

• Function that reverses another function


𝑥−3
• Example: if f(x) = 2x + 3, then its inverse f-1(x) = 2

i. Absolute Value Functions:

• Form: f(x) = |𝑥|


• Graph: v-shaped
• Example: f(x) = |𝑥 − 3|

1. 3 Composite functions
Most functions that you meet are combinations of two or more functions.

When one function is followed by another function, the resulting function is


called a composite function.

There are three important points to remember about composite functions


fg only exists if the range of g is contained within the domain of f.
In general, fg (x) ≠ gf (x).
ff (x) means you apply the function f twice

1. 4 Modulus functions
x if x > 0

|𝑥| = 0 if x = 0

-x if x < 0

The statement |𝑥| = k, where k ≥ 0, means that x = k or x = - k.

Must Know 1

|𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏| = k,

ax + b = k and ax + b = -k

Must Know 2

|ax + b| = cx + d,

ax + b = cx + d and ax + b = -(cx + d ).

First draw the graph of y = x.

Then reflect in the x-axis the part of the line that is below the x-axis.

Must Know

The Modulus function

The modulus function is not 1 : 1. Hence it has no inverse.

Further Study

Sketch the function y = |(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 − 2)|

1 . 6 Inverse functions
The inverse of a function f(x) is the function that undoes what f(x) has done.

The inverse of the function f(x) is written as f-1 (x).

It is important to remember that not every function has an inverse.

The domain of f-1 (x) is the range of f(x).

The range of f-1 (x) is the domain of f(x).

The inverse of a one-one mapping is another one-one mapping and that is a function.
However, the inverse of a many-one mapping would be one-many and that is not a
function.

Thus, only one-one function have inverses.

In all cases, ff-1(x) = f-1 f(x) = x.

1.7 the graph of a function and its inverse


Drawing f and f-1 on the same graph gives.

Note:
The graphs of f and f-1 are reflections of each other in the line y = x.
This is true for all one – one functions and their inverse functions.
This is because: ff-1 (x) = x = f-1 f(x).

Some functions are called self-inverse functions because f and its inverse f-1
1 1
are the same. If f(x) = for x ≠ 0, then f-1(x) = for x ≠ 0.
𝑥 𝑥
1
So If f(x) = for x ≠ 0 is an example of a self – inverse function.
𝑥

When a function f is self-inverse, the graph of f will symmetrical about the


line y= x.
