The domain of the function y = f (x) is the set of values of x for which a corresponding value of y exists.
The range of the function y = f (x) is the set of values of y which correspond to the values of x in the domain.

Vertical Line Test
A relation is a function if no vertical line intersects its graph in more than one point.
This graph does not pass the vertical line test. It is not a function.
This graph passes the vertical line test. It is a function.

• decreasing on an interval if, for any x1 and x2 in the interval, x1 < x2 implies f (x1) > f (x2),
• constant on an interval if, for any x1 and x2 in the interval, f (x1) = f (x2).
The graph of y = f (x):
• increases on (– ∞, –3),
• decreases on (–3, 3),
• increases on (3, ∞).
A function f is:
• increasing on an interval if, for any x1 and x2 in the interval, x1 < x2 implies f (x1) < f (x2),

A function value f(a) is called a relative minimum of f if there is an interval (x1, x2) that contains a such that
x1 < x < x2 implies f(a) f(x).

A function value f(a) is called a relative maximum of f if there is an interval (x1, x2) that contains a such that
x1 < x < x2 implies f(a) f(x).

A piecewise-defined function is composed of two or more functions.
f(x) =3 + x, x < 0

A function f is even if for each x in the domain of f, f (– x) = f (x).
x
yf (x) = x2
f (– x) = (– x)2 = x2 = f (x)
f (x) = x2 is an even function.
Symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

A function f is odd if for each x in the domain of f, f (– x) = – f (x).
x
y
f (x) = x3
f (– x) = (– x)3 = –x3 = – f (x)
f (x) = x3 is an odd function.
Symmetric with respect to the origin.
