Functions — Syllabus & Topics

Topics covered in Functions for CMAT Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation.

Topics in Functions

1

Introduction to Functions

  • A function is a rule that assigns to every input value exactly one output value
  • Functions describe relationships between variable quantities
  • Domain is the set of all possible input values (x-values)
2

Methods of Representing Functions

  • Analytical representation uses mathematical formulas or equations
  • Tabular representation shows input-output pairs in table format
  • Graphical representation plots points on coordinate plane
3

Even and Odd Functions

  • Even functions satisfy f(x) = f(-x) for all x in domain
  • Odd functions satisfy f(x) = -f(-x) for all x in domain
  • Even functions are symmetric about y-axis
4

Inverse Functions

  • Inverse function exists only when original function is one-to-one
  • If y = f(x), then inverse is x = f⁻¹(y) or y = f⁻¹(x)
  • Domain of f becomes range of f⁻¹ and vice versa
