In Calculus, we only consider functions for which D and E are sets of real numbers
Example:
In this part we introduce of circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas and give their
standard equations. They are called conic sections, or conics, because they result from
intersecting a cone with a plane as shown in the following figure.
Circles
A circle of radius 𝑟 and center (𝑎, 𝑏) has equation (𝑥 − 𝑎) + (𝑦 − 𝑏) = 𝑟 .
In particular, if 𝑎 = 𝑏 = 0 and 𝑟 = 1 then the circle is called the unit circle.
Exercise:
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = √4 − 𝑥 .
a) Sketch the graph of 𝑓
b) Find the domain and the range of 𝑓 using the graph

Example
The upper half and the lower half of the unit circle are represent functions of
while the unit circle is not a function.
Example
The upper half and the lower half of the parabola represent functions of
while the parabola itself is not a function.

Remark
⚫ The definitions of even and odd functions assume implicitly that both are in the domain of
⚫ The graph of an even function is symmetric with respect to the Since a point lies on the
graph if and only if the point lies on the graph. A reflection across the leaves the graph unchanged.
⚫ The graph of an odd function is symmetric about the origin Since a point lies on
the graph if and only if the point lies on the graph. Equivalently, a graph is symmetric about the origin if a rotation of
about the origin leaves the graph unchanged.
Example
1) Let be an integer. Then is an even function when is even and is an odd function when is odd.
2) is an even function.
5) The sum (or difference) any two odd functions is an odd function.
