    General Functions

    1 - Determining if a Relation is a Function

    A relation is NOT a function if:

    a vertical line can be drawn anywhere


    that intersects the graph more than once
    2 – Types (Families) of Functions

    Polynomial Functions
    0-degree Polynomial Function 1st-degree Polynomial Function 2nd-degree Polynomial Function

    Functions Resulting from Operations


    Absolute-Value Function Square-Root Function

    Inverse Variation Function Exponential Function

    Special Functions
    Periodic Function Step Function Piecewise Function

    Piecewise Functions
    −4 𝑥 < 8
    𝑓(𝑥 ) = & −√−2𝑥 8 ≤ 𝑥 < 0
    −3𝑥 𝑥 ≥ 0

    3 Transforming Functions Using PARAMETERS

    PARAMETERS are numbers that modify the shape of


    the graph of a function.

    The “multiplicative parameters” are:

    “a” is the “vertical scale change”.

    “b” is the “horizontal scale change”.


    a) Representation of Transformations using
    Function Rules

    A TRANSFORMED rule looks like this:

    g(x) = a • f (b • x )

    Function Basic Rule Transformed


    Rule
    1st Degree f(x) = x f(x) = a(bx)
    2nd Degree f(x) = x2
    Exponential f(x) = cx
    Step (G.I.F.) f(x) = [ x ]
    Absolute-Value f(x) = I x I
    Square-Root f(x) = Öx
    Sinusoidal f(x) = sin (x)
    Inverse Variation f(x) = 1
    x
    Function Basic Rule Transformed
    Rule
    1st Degree f(x) = x f(x) = a(bx)
    2nd Degree f(x) = x2 f(x) = a(bx)2
    Exponential f(x) = cx f(x) = acbx
    Step (G.I.F.) f(x) = [ x ] f(x) = a[ bx ]
    Absolute-Value f(x) = I x I f(x) = a I bx I
    Square-Root f(x) = Öx f(x) = aÖbx
    Sinusoidal f(x) = sin (x) f(x) = a sin (bx)
    Inverse Variation f(x) = 1 f(x) = a
    x bx

    b) Coordinate Representation of Transformations

    Rule for mapping points from a basic function to


    corresponding image points of a transformed
    function:
    𝒙
    ( 𝒙, 𝒚 ) → ( , 𝒂𝒚+
    𝒃
    Example:

    The ordered pair ( 8 , 8 ) associated with function f(x)


    corresponds to ( 2 , 4 ) associated with function g(x).
    Function g(x) is obtained by transforming f(x) using
    only multiplicative parameters.

    What are the values of these parameters?


    𝒙
    ( 𝒙, 𝒚 ) → ( , 𝒂𝒚+
    𝒃
    𝟖
    ( 𝟖, 𝟖 ) → - , 𝒂 × 𝟖/ = (𝟐, 𝟒)
    𝒃

    𝟖
    = 𝟐 & 𝒂 × 𝟖 = 𝟒
    𝒃

    𝒃 = 𝟒 & 𝒂 = 𝟎. 𝟓
    c) Graphical Representation of Transformations

    Note: in the following examples:

    the original graph is of f(x) (shown in blue)

    the transformed graph is of g(x) (shown in red)

    Vertical Scale Change (a)

    1<a<∞

    0<a<1
    -1 < a < 0
    a = -1
    -∞ < a <-1
    Inverse of Functions

    The graphs of function f and its inverse f-1 are


    symmetrical about the 1st diagonal
    (of the Cartesian plane)
    Inverse of Functions

    The graphs of function f and its inverse f-1 are


    symmetrical about the 1st diagonal
    (of the Cartesian plane)

    Transformation
    f( x ) ® f-1 ( x )
    =(x,y)® (y,x)

    The inverse of a
    parabola is NOT a
    function.
