Example,
(a) The circumference 𝐶 of a circle is a function of its radius 𝑟,
𝐶 𝑟 = 2𝜋𝑟
(b) The gravitational force 𝐹 of attraction between two bodies of constant masses
(𝑚1 , 𝑚2 ) in the Universe is inversely proportional to the square of the distance 𝑟
between the bodies,

Definition. A function 𝑓 is a rule that associates a unique output with each input. If the
input is denoted by 𝑥, then the output is denoted by 𝑓 (𝑥) (read “𝑓 of 𝑥”).
Domain of 𝑓 Range of 𝑓
Natural domain : The domain consists of all real numbers for which a real valued
function of a real variable yields a real value, if no domain is stated explicitly.
Example: Find the natural domain of
Solution (a). Natural domain is the set of all real numbers, ℝ = (−∞, ∞)
Solution (b). Natural domain is the set of all real numbers except 𝑥 = 1, 3
i.e., 𝑥 ∈ ℝ: 𝑥 ≠ 1,3 = −∞, 1 ∪ 1,3 ∪ (3, ∞)

Solution (d). Natural domain is the set of all real numbers such that
𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 + 6 ≥ 0 ⇒ 𝑥 − 2 𝑥 − 3 ≥ 0 ⇒ 𝑥 ≤ 2 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 ≥ 3
i.e., 𝑥 ∈ ℝ: 𝑥 ≤ 2 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 ≥ 3 = −∞, 2 ∪ [3, ∞)
