1.1 Functions
• A technical definition of a function is: a relation from a set
of inputs to a set of possible outputs where each input is
related to exactly one output.
• A function, f(x) relates an input to an output. Each input is
related to exactly one output.

2, 3, 4, 5}.
16 4 • Each element in set B is the
square root of a
25 5 corresponding Set A.
• The relation between A and B can also be represented by the set of

ordered pairs:
{(1, 1), (4, 2), (9, 3), (16, 4), (25, 5)}
• Each element in A is connected to a unique element in B.
• A relationship such as this is known as ONE-TO-ONE RELATION

(c) State the domain of f and its range
(a) For each element x in set X, there exists a unique image y in set Y.
Hence, f can be defined as a function from set X to set Y

Example2:
Determine whether each equation defines y as a function of x. If so, determine
whether the function is one-to-one.
2 2
(a) y = x + 2 ( b) y = x + 3x + 2 (c) y = x−2
(a) y = x + 2
For each value of x ∈ R, the value of y is unique
Thus y is a function of x
No two values of x ∈ R have the same image
Thus the function is one − to − one ✓

For each value of x ∈ R with x > 2, there exists two possible values of y.
For example, y = ±2 when x = 6

function, specifically dividing by 0. This would mean that x ≠ 1 so the
domain of the composition would be combining the two restrictions.

1.2 Polynomial & Rational Functions

Ø Polynomial Functions
• A polynomial function is a function such as a quadratic, a cubic, a
quartic, and so on, involving only non-negative integer powers of x.
• We can give a general definition of a polynomial, and define its
degree.

1.3 Exponential & Logarithmic Functions

This is the general Exponential Function (see below for ex):
a is any value greater than 0
.com

Properties depend on
value of “a”
• When a=1, the
graph is a horizontal
line at y=1
• Apart from that
there are two cases
to look at:
.com

In General:
• It is always greater than 0, and never crosses the x-axis
• It always intersects the y-axis at y=1 ... in other words it passes
through (0,1)
• At x=1, f(x)=a ... in other words it passes through (1,a)
• It is an Injective (one-to-one) function
ü Its Domain is the Real Numbers: Real Numbers

ü Its Range is the Positive Real Numbers: (0, +∞)
.com

Logarithmic Function
Properties depend on value of "a”

• When a=1, the graph is not defined
• Apart from that there are two cases to look at:
.com
For a between 0 and 1 For a above 1:

• As x nears 0, it heads to infinity • As x nears 0, it heads to -infinity
• As x increases it heads to -infinity • As x increases it heads to infinity
• It is a Strictly Decreasing function • it is a Strictly Increasing function
• It has a Vertical Asymptote along the y-axis • It has Vertical Asymptote along the y-axis
(x=0). (x=0).
.com
In general, the logarithmic function:

• is always on the positive side of (and never crosses) the y-axis
• always intersects the x-axis at x=1 ... in other words it passes
through (1,0)
• equals 1 when x=a, in other words it passes through (a,1)
• is an Injective (one-to-one) function
ü Its Domain is the Positive Real Numbers: (0, +∞)

ü Its Range is the Real Numbers: R
EmilynGan 129
.com
• The inverse of a logarithmic function is an exponential function.

- When you graph both the logarithmic function and its inverse,
and you also graph the line y = x, you will note that the graphs
of the logarithmic function and the exponential function are
mirror images of one another with respect to the line y = x.
y=x The basic properties of a logarithmic

function g(x)=logax, a>1, are as follows:
(a) Then function is undefined for x≤0
(b) When x=1, g(x)=0, i.e. g(1)=0
y = ax y = log a x (c) For x>1, g(x)>0 and when xè∞, g(x)è∞
(d) For 0<x<1, g(x)<0 and when xè0,
g(x)è−∞

• The relation between A and B can also be represented by the set of

• We have P={-2, -1, 1, 2, 3} and Q={1, 4, 9, 14}.

(c) Domain of f is {−2, −1, 0, 1, 2}

When x = −1, y = 2 (−1) − 3 = 5

1.2 Polynomial & Rational Functions

(x2 + 3x + 1) + (4x2 +5) = (x + 4x ) + 3x + (1 + 5)

(x2 + 3x + 1) + (4x2 +5) = (x + 4x ) + 3x + (1 + 5)

(3x2 + 2x + 7) – (x2 + x + 4) = (3x2 – x2) + (2x – x) + (7 – 4)

(3x2 + 2x + 7) – (x2 + x + 4) = (3x2 – x2) + (2x – x) + (7 – 4)

The Remainder Theorem

The Remainder Theorem

Hence, the remainder when the polynomial P(x) is divided by (x+3) is 20

The Factor Theorem

(x-a) is a factor for P(x)

1. Show (x+2) is a factor for f(x)

Hence, by factor theorem, (x+2) is a factor of f(x)

2. Factorise : Use Long Division

By u sin g factor theorem,

Polynomial & Rational Inequalities

Basic Rules governing inequalities involving real numbers are as follows:

( b) ac > bc, c ∈ R, c > 0

(c) ac < bc, c ∈ R, c < 0

Alternative Method: a>0

⎢ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎥ Now, for all x ∈ R, −3⎜ x − ⎟ ≤ 0

Alternative Method: a<0

Hence, ( x +1) is a factor of f ( x ) y

Given that | 2x +1|< 3

Given that 2 | x −1| ≤ | x + 3| y
