What to Focus On

  • A function assigns exactly one output to each input
  • Domain is the set of all possible input values
  • Range is the set of all possible output values

  • Analytical representation uses mathematical formulas
  • Piecewise functions have different formulas for different domains
  • Tabular representation shows specific input-output pairs

  • Even functions: f(-x) = f(x), symmetric about y-axis
  • Odd functions: f(-x) = -f(x), symmetric about origin
  • Even + Even = Even, Odd + Odd = Odd

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Domain of a function is always all real numbers unless explicitly restricted

f(-x) = -f(x) means the function is even

Every function has an inverse function
