What is a Function?

• A function is a relation where


each input has exactly one
output.
• Notation: f(x) represents the
output when x is the input.
Linear Function

• Equation form: f(x) =


mx + b
• Graph is a straight line.
• Constant rate of
change.
Example: f(x) = 2x + 1
Quadratic Function

• Equation form: f(x) = ax² + bx


+c
• Graph is a parabola.
• Symmetrical curve.
Example: f(x) = x² - 4x + 3
Cubic Function

• Equation form: f(x) = ax³ +


bx² + cx + d
• Graph can have twists or
turns.
Example: f(x) = x³ - 3x
Absolute Value
Function
• Equation form: f(x) = |
x|
• Graph is V-shaped.
• Always non-negative.
Example: f(x) = |x - 2|
Exponential
Function
• Equation form: f(x) = a^x,
where a > 0
• Rapid growth or decay.
Example: f(x) = 2^x
Logarithmic Function

• Equation form: f(x) =


log_b(x)
• Inverse of exponential
functions.
• Grows slowly.
Example: f(x) = log₂(x)
Rational Function

•Equation form: f(x) = P(x)/Q(x),


where Q(x) ≠ 0
• Can have asymptotes.
 Example: f(x) = 1 / (x - 1)
Piecewise Function

• Defined by different
expressions over intervals.
• Graph is a combination of
segments.
 Example:
 f(x) = x + 2, if x < 0
 x², if x ≥0
Summary of Function
Types
 Linear: f(x) = mx + b → Line
 Quadratic: f(x) = ax² + bx + c → Parabola
 Cubic: f(x) = ax³ + ... → S-curve
 Absolute Value: f(x) = |x| → V-shape
 Exponential: f(x) = a^x → Curve ↑
 Logarithmic: f(x) = log_b(x) → Curve →
 Rational: f(x) = P/Q → Hyperbola
 Piecewise: multi-rule → Mixed
