x → 2 x+ 6
The arrow is read as “is mapped to.”
f : x →2 x +6
The colon symbol (:) is read as “such that.”
f ={ ( x , y )∨ y =2 x +6 }
The function f is written as a set.
● The range of a function is the set of all values of y that can be obtained
from the possible values of x.
● A linear function is a function that has a degree of 1 and whose graph is a
straight line. The domain and range of a linear function are both the set
of real numbers (R).
● A quadratic function is a function that has a degree of 2 and whose graph
is a parabola. The domain of a quadratic function is the set of real
numbers.
● A polynomial function is a function involving nonnegative integer powers
of the independent variable. The domain of a polynomial function is the
set of real numbers; while, the range of a polynomial function whose
degree is odd is the set of real numbers.
● A rational function is a function that can be expressed as a ratio of two
polynomials. The domain of a rational function is the set of real numbers
except the zeros of its denominator.
● A radical function is a function that contains radical expressions. The
domain of a radical function is the set of real numbers except those that
make the radicand of radicals with even index negative.
● Addition of Functions. Given two functions f (x) and g(x ), their sum is
denoted by ( f +g ) ( x ). This is defined by ( f +g ) ( x ) =f ( x )+ g ( x ).
● Subtraction of Functions. Given two functions f (x) and g ( x ), their difference
is denoted by ( f −g ) ( x ). This is defined by ( f −g ) ( x )=f ( x )−g (x).
● The product of two functions f ( x ) and g ( x ) is denoted by ( f ∙ g ) ( x ). This product
is defined as ( f ∙ g ) ( x )=f ( x ) ∙ g ( x ).
