The set X is called the domain of the function.
For each element x in X, the corresponding element y in Y is called the image of x. The set of all images of the elements of the domain is called the range of the function.
Let X and Y be two nonempty sets of real numbers. A function from X into Y is a rule or a correspondence that associates each element of X with a unique element of Y.

A function f is said to be one-to-one or injective, if for each x in the domain of f there is exactly one y in the range and no y in the range is the image of more than one x in the domain.

Even and Odd Functions
Even functions are functions for which the left half of the plane looks like the mirror image of the right half of the plane. Odd functions are functions where the left half of the plane looks like the mirror image of the right half of the plane, only upside-down. Mathematically, we say that a function f(x) is even if f(x) = f(-x) and is odd if f(-x) = -f(x).
even functions odd functions
f(x) = |x| f(x) = 1/x
Some Examples
f(x) = x2 ,Even f(x) = x3 , Odd
y = cosx, Even y = sinx, Odd
Is there a function which is both even as well as odd?
Yes there is Only one function which is both even as well as odd
The function is y = f(x) = 0Let y = f(x) be one such function
Then, f(-x) = f(x) and f(-x) = -f(x)
So, f(x) = -f(x) f(x) = 0
PERIODIC FUNCTIONS
Periodic functions are functions that repeat over and over, or cycle on a specific period. This is expressed mathematically that A function f is periodic if there exists some number p>0 such that f(x) = f(x+p) for all possible values of xThe least possible value of p is called the
fundamental period of the function.
f(x) = sinx, is a periodic func with fundamental period 2π
f(x) = cosx, is also a periodic func with fundamental period 2π
y = tanx & y = cotx are periodic functions with fundamental period π
Graph of y = tanx
A property of some periodic functions that cycle within some definite range is that they have an amplitude in addition to a period. The amplitude of a periodic function is the distance between the highest point and the lowest point, divided by two. For example, sin(x) and cos(x) have amplitudes of 1.
If the period of f(x) is (a/b)π and that of g(x) is (c/d)π ,then the period of A.f(x) + B.g(x),where A and B are real numbers is(LCM of a,c)/(HCF of b,d) times π
COMBINATIONS OF PERIODIC FUNCTIONS
There are no hard and rigid rules for finding the periods of functions which are the combinations of periodic functions but the following technique may work in many cases.
For example, find the period of y = sin7x + tan(5/3)x.Period of sin7x is 2π/7 and that of tan(5/3)x is 3π/5.Hence the period of the given function is (LCM of 2,3)/(HCF of 7,5) times π that is 6 π
If the period of f(x) is p then that of a.f(x) + b is also p and that of f(ax+b) is p/|a|
For e.g, period of sin(4-3x) is 2π/3
If f(x) is periodic and g(x) is non periodic then f{g(x)} is not periodic except when g(x) is linear.
For e.g, y = sin(4-3x2) is not periodic
A constant function is periodic but has no fundamental period.
y = x – [x] is a periodic function whose fundamental period is 1
Increasing & Decreasing Functions
By behavior of a function, we mean, its Increasing & Decreasing
nature
BEHAVIOR OF FUNCTIONS
A function f(x) is said to be increasing in an interval, if for any x1, x2 belonging to this interval, x1 < x2 implies f(x1) ≤ f(x2) OR x1 >x2 implies f(x1) ≥ f(x2)
That is, if x increases then f(x) should increase and if x decreases then f(x) should decrease. The function is said to be strictly increasing if x1 < x2 implies f(x1) < f(x2) OR x1 >x2 implies f(x1) > f(x2)

The function y = 3x is strictly increasing
A function f(x) is said to be DECREASING in an interval, if for any x1, x2 belonging to this interval, x1 < x2 implies f(x1) ≥ f(x2) OR x1 > x2 implies f(x1) ≤ f(x2)
That is, if x increases then f(x) should decrease and if x decreases then f(x) should increase. The function is said to be strictly decreasing if x1 < x2 implies f(x1) > f(x2) OR x1 >x2 implies f(x1) < f(x2)
The function y = tanx is strictly increasing .
The function y = -[x] is decreasing but not strictly decreasing

MONOTONIC FUNCTION
A function is said to be MONOTONIC in an interval if it either increases or decrease in that interval but does not change its behavior.

Quadratic Models
A farmer has 3000 yards of fence to enclose a rectangular field. What are the dimensions of the rectangle that encloses the most area?
x
w
The available fence represents the perimeter of the rectangle. If x is the length and w the width , then
2x + 2w = 3000
The area of a rectangle is represented by
A = xwLet us express one of the variables from the perimeter equation.
2x + 2w = 3000 x = (3000-2w)/2 x =1500 - w
Substitute this into the area equation and maximize for w.
A = (1500-w)w = -w2 + 1500wThe equation represents a parabola that opens down, so it has a maximum at its vertex point.
The vertex is w = -1500/(-2) = 750.
Thus the width should be 750 yards and the length is then
x =1500 - 750 = 750
The largest area field is the one with equal sides of length 750 yards and total area:
A = 7502=562,500 sq.y.
A projectile is fired from a cliff 400 feet above the water at an inclination of 45o to the horizontal, with a given muzzle velocity of 350ft per second. The height of the projectile above water is given by the equation below where x represents the horizontal distance of the projectile from the base of the cliff. Find the maximum height of the projectile.
To find the maximum height we need to find the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola that is represented by the above equation.
The maximum height is 1357.03 feet and the projectile reaches it at 1914.0625 feet from the base of the cliff.

Polynomial and Rational Inequalities
Steps for Solving Polynomial and Rational Inequalities Algebraically
• Write the inequality in one of the following forms:
where f(x) is written as a single quotient.
• Determine the numbers at which f(x) equals zero and also those numbers at which it is undefined.
• Use these numbers to separate the real line into intervals.
• Select a test number from each interval and evaluate f at the test number.
• If the value of f is positive, then f(x)> 0 for all numbers x in the interval.
• If the value of f is negative, then f(x)<0 for all numbers x in the interval.
If the inequality is not strict, include the solutions of f(x)=0 in the solution set, but do not include those where f is undefined.
Solve the inequality:
The inequality is in lowest terms, so we will first find where f(x)=0. And where is it undefined.

Vertical Shifts
• c>0 The graph of f(x) + c is the same as the graph of f(x) but shifted UP by c.
• For example: c = 2 then f(x) + 2 shifts f(x) up by 2.
• c<0 The graph of f(x) + c is the same as the graph of f(x) but shifted DOWN by c.
• For example: c = -3 then f(x) + (-3) = f(x) - 3 shifts f(x) down by 3.
Horizontal Shifts
If the argument x of a function f is replaced by x - h, h a real number, the graph of the new function y = f( x - h ) is the graph of f shifted horizontally left (if h < 0) or right (if h > 0).
Reflections about the x-Axis and the y-Axis
• The graph of g= - f(x) is the same as graph of f(x) but reflected about the x-axis.
• The graph of g= f(-x) is the same as graph of f(x) but reflected about the y-axis.
Compression and Stretches
• The graph of y = af(x) is obtained from the graph of y = f(x) by vertically stretching the graph if a > 1 or vertically compressing the graph if 0 < a < 1.
• The graph of y= f(ax) is obtained from the graph of y = f(x) by horizontally compressing the graph if a > 1 or horizontally stretching the graph if 0 < a < 1.
GRAPHS OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
Here is the graph of y = sin x:
The function y = sin x has period 2π, because
sin (x + 2π) = sin x.
The graph of y = sin axWhen a function has this form,
y = sin ax,then the constant a indicates the number of periods in an interval of length 2π.For example, if a = 2, then, y = sin 2x -- that means there are 2 periods in an interval of length 2π.
If a = 3 , then y = sin 3x -- there are 3 periods in that interval:
