B. FUNCTION AND ITS TYPES
Function
A function is a relation between two sets of values called the domain and the range.
In real life, functions have various applications. The purpose of functions is to provide
a mathematical way to model or represent a certain situation where relation is being
illustrated.
A few examples of applications of functions are the following:
1. Circumference of a circle. A circle’s circumference is a function of its diameter, that
is 𝐶(𝑑) = 𝜋𝑑 𝑜𝑟 𝐶(𝑟) = 2𝜋𝑟.
2. A shadow. The length of a person’s shadow along a flat ground is a function of
his/her height.
3. Driving a car. When driving a car, the driver’s location varies as time passes by.
4. Temperature. The temperature around a certain area varies on certain inputs or
factors. So, temperature is a function of various variables.
5. Money. The amount of money saved by a person is a function of the time earning it.
B.2 FUNCTION AND ITS TYPES
1. Algebraic Function
An algebraic function is a function that involves only algebraic
operations as well as fractional or rational exponents. Polynomial
and rational functions are examples of algebraic functions.
2. Polynomial Function
A polynomial function is an algebraic function in the form of 𝑃 𝑥 =
𝑎𝑛 𝑥 𝑛 + 𝑎𝑛−1 𝑥 𝑛−1 + ⋯ + 𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑎0 where 𝑛 is a positive integer and
𝑎𝑛 , 𝑎𝑛−1 , …, 𝑎1 , and 𝑎0 are real numbers. Constant, linear,
quadratic, and cubic functions are examples of polynomial
functions.
B.2 FUNCTION AND ITS TYPES
3. Constant Function
A constant function is a function where all
x-values are paired with exactly one y-
value. It is used to represent zero
increase. The graph of a constant function
is a horizontal line and is mathematically
expressed as 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑐 , where 𝑐 is the
constant y-value.
5. Composition of Functions
A composite function is created when
one function is substituted into another
function. Suppose there are two functions
𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥). The function 𝑓 ○ 𝑔 𝑥 =
𝑓 𝑔 𝑥 is called the composite function.
Take a look on this representation.
(𝑖 ○ 𝑗)(𝑥) = 𝑖 𝑗 𝑥
𝑖 𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 3
