Functions and Graphs

• A function is a rule that assigns to each input number exactly one output number.
• Function is often represented by 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙).
• We refer 𝒚 as dependent variable, and 𝒙 as independent variable.
• Domain: the set of all values of 𝒙.
• Range: the set of all values of 𝒚.
• Univariate function: contains only one independent variable.
• Multivariate function: contains more than one independent variable, 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙𝟏 , 𝒙𝟐 )
• We will study 9 functions:

▪ Domain: (values of 𝒙) is 𝑹 ( the real numbers or (−∞, ∞)).

▪ Range: (values of 𝒚) is the value {𝟓}.

2) Linear function (1st degree)
