Types of Functions (Domain and Range)
Types of Functions:
Linear function
Quadratic function
Absolute Value function
Piecewise function
Remember this
Domain and Range of any Function
Domain of a function is the set of all
the possible values of x for which
the function is defined.
Range of a function is the set
of f(x), where x is an element in the
domain of the function.
LINEAR FUNCTION y-axis
x-axis
A function f is linear if
f(x)=mx+b, where m and b
are real numbers and m and f(x)= 2x-7
f(x) are not both equal to
zero.
LINEAR FUNCTION y-axis
Range: y= -2.5
x-axis
How????
Since there is only one value of y
no matter what the value of x is. In
f(x)= -2.5
this case, y is always -2.5.
CONSTANT FUNCTION: other example
In this function f(x)= 7 y-axis
9
m is 0
b is 7/9 f(x)= 7
9
Domain: x-axis
How????
Since the coordinates are identical, x-axis
f(x)=x +4x+3
The vertex (h, k) of a parabola can be
solved by the formula:
h= -b k= (4ac- b2 )
2a 4a
x-axis
Domain and Range of a Quadratic Function
y-axis
Range: y > -1
f(x)=x +4x+3
In getting the range, just identify/
solve for the ff.:
opening:
upward suggests >
downward suggests < x-axis
k in the vertex (h, k)
QUADRATIC FUNCTION: other example
y-axis
x-axis
Vertex: B(-1/4 ,-23/8)

ABSOLUTE VALUE FUNCTION
y-axis
In the absolute value function h=3
a=1 k=0
f(x)= |x-3|, a= 1, h=3 and k=0.
Hence, the vertex of the graph f(x)= 1 |x-3|+0
is at (3,0).
The slope of
The slope of
the ray to the
And since in the given left is -1
the ray to the
right is 1
function a=1, and is x-axis
(3,0)
positive, the graph opens
upward.
vertex
Domain and Range of an Absolute Value Function
y-axis
Domain:
all real numbers
f(x)= |x-3|
or (- , ) in symbol
How????
Since whatever the value of x is, x-axis
the function will always be defined. (3,0)
Domain and Range of an Absolute Value Function
y-axis
Range: y>0
How???? f(x)= |x-3|
Since that the graph opens
upward from y= 0
x-axis
(3,0)
PIECEWISE FUNCTION
assign a particular
value(s) of y for a
particular value(s) of x.
