1. Function notation: evaluate and read f(x)

Discover

$f(x) = x + 5$ is a rule: it takes a number and adds 5.

What does $f(2)$ mean?

The output of $f$ when the input is 2
$f$ times 2
The input that gives the output 2

Key idea

A function gives exactly one output for each input. We write the output as $f(x)$ .

f(a)

is the output of

f

for the input

a

. To find it, replace every

x

in the rule by

(a)

, with parentheses.

On a graph, $f(a)$ is the height of the graph above $x = a$ .

Worked example

$f(x) = 3x^2 - x$ . Find $f(-2)$ .

f(-2) = 3(-2)^2 - (-2)

Replace each x by (−2), with the parentheses.

= 3 \cdot 4 + 2

(−2)² = 4, and subtracting −2 adds 2.

= 14

Multiply, then add.

Your turn, guided

Your turn: $f(x) = 2x^2 + 1$ . Fill in the missing line.

f(-3) = 2(-3)^2 + 1

Replace x by (−3).

f(-3) = 19

(−3)² = 9, then 2 · 9 + 1.

Summary card

Function notation

$f(a)$ is the output for the input $a$ .
Replace every $x$ by $(a)$ , with parentheses: $f(-2)$ for $x^2$ is $(-2)^2 = 4$ .
On a graph: the height above $x = a$ .

Watch out: $f(a + b)$ is not $f(a) + f(b)$ .

2. Domain and range in interval notation

Warm-up

Three quick questions from earlier lessons.

Discover

Which numbers can you put into $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$ ?

0 and the positive numbers
Every number
Only the positive numbers, not 0

Key idea

The domain is the set of inputs a function accepts. The range is the set of outputs it gives.

Leave out of the domain every

x

that makes a denominator

0

or puts a negative number under a square root. A square bracket includes the end:

[2, \infty)

contains 2; a parenthesis leaves it out:

(2, \infty)

does not.

Worked example

Find the domain of $f(x) = \sqrt{x + 2}$ .

x + 2 \ge 0

The inside of a square root must not be negative.

x \ge -2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

Domain:

[-2, \infty)

−2 is allowed (√0 = 0), so use a square bracket.

Your turn, guided

Your turn: $f(x) = \sqrt{x - 5}$ . Fill in the missing line.

x - 5 \ge 0

The inside must not be negative.

The domain starts at

x = 5

[5, \infty)

Add 5 to both sides: the domain starts at this number.

What is the range of $f(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 9$ ? Give it as an interval.
What is the range of $f(x) = (x - 3)^2 + 6$ ? Give it as an interval.
What is the range of $f(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 4$ ? Give it as an interval.

Summary card

Domain and range

Domain: the inputs. Leave out zero denominators and negatives under a square root.
Range: the outputs.
$[a, \infty)$ includes $a$ ; $(a, \infty)$ does not.

Watch out: the range uses $y$ -values, not the $x$ of a vertex.

3. Piecewise-defined functions and absolute value

Warm-up

Three quick questions from earlier lessons.

Discover

A parking lot charges 5 dollars for up to 2 hours, and 9 dollars for a longer stay. What does a stay of exactly 2 hours cost?

5 dollars
9 dollars

Key idea

A piecewise function uses a different formula on different parts of its domain.

To find

f(a)

: first find which condition

a

satisfies, then use that piece's formula. Check the boundary carefully (

<

\le

The absolute value is piecewise: $|x| = x$ if $x \ge 0$ , and $|x| = -x$ if $x < 0$ .

Worked example

$f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 & \text{if } x < 1 \\ 2x + 3 & \text{if } x \ge 1 \end{cases}$ . Find $f(1)$ .

Use the second piece,

2x + 3

Check the conditions first: 1 is not less than 1, but 1 ≥ 1.

f(1) = 2 \cdot 1 + 3 = 5

Replace x by 1.

Your turn, guided

Your turn, with the same $f$ : find $f(-2)$ .

Use the first piece,

x^2

Piecewise functions

Find the piece whose condition the input satisfies.
Use that piece's formula.

Watch out: at a boundary, read $<$ and $\ge$ carefully.

4. Average rate of change; where a function increases or decreases

Warm-up

Three quick questions from earlier lessons.

Discover

A car drives 120 miles in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

60 miles per hour
$\tfrac{1}{60}$ hour per mile
120 miles per hour

Key idea

The average rate of change tells how fast the output changes, per unit of input.

The average rate of change of

f

from

x = a

x = b

\dfrac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

, the slope of the line through the two points of the graph.

$f$ is increasing on an interval if its graph goes up from left to right there, and decreasing if it goes down.

Worked example

Find the average rate of change of $f(x) = x^2$ from $x = 1$ to $x = 4$ .

f(4) - f(1) = 16 - 1 = 15

Change in the output.

4 - 1 = 3

Change in the input.

Rate

= \dfrac{15}{3} = 5

Divide: output change per unit of input.

Your turn, guided

Your turn: $f(x) = 2x^2$ , from $x = 0$ to $x = 3$ .

5. Composition of functions

Warm-up

Three quick questions from earlier lessons.

Discover

$g$ doubles a number: $g(x) = 2x$ . $f$ adds 1: $f(x) = x + 1$ . Start with 3: double it, then add 1. You have computed $f(g(3))$ . What is it?

Key idea

Composing means using the output of one function as the input of another.

f(g(x))

: first apply

g

x

, then apply

f

to the result. Work from the inside out. In general

f(g(x)) \ne g(f(x))

Worked example

$f(x) = x^2$ and $g(x) = x - 3$ . Find $f(g(5))$ , then $f(g(x))$ .

g(5) = 5 - 3 = 2

The inside first.

f(g(5)) = f(2) = 4

Then f of that result.

f(g(x)) = (x - 3)^2

With x: put g(x) = x − 3 in place of x in f.

Your turn, guided

Your turn: $f(x) = 2x + 1$ and $g(x) = x^2$ . Find $f(g(3))$ .

g(3) = 9

The inside first.

f(g(3)) = f(9) = 19

Then 2 · 9 + 1.

Work from the inside out.
The order matters: $f(g(x))$ and $g(f(x))$ usually differ.

Watch out: $f(g(x))$ is not $f(x) \cdot g(x)$ .

6. Transformations: shifts and reflections

Warm-up

Three quick questions from earlier lessons.

Discover

Move the sliders and watch the graph of $y = (x - h)^2 + k$ .

The graph of y = (x − h)² + k, a parabola whose vertex is at (h, k) and moves with the sliders.

When $h$ goes from 0 to 2, which way does the graph move?

To the right
To the left

Key idea

Changing the rule moves or flips the graph without changing its shape.

y = f(x - h) + k

moves the graph of

f

h

units to the right and

k

units up.

y = -f(x)

reflects it across the

x

-axis;

y = f(-x)

reflects it across the

y

-axis.

A change inside $f(\dots)$ acts on $x$ (horizontally); a change outside acts on $y$ (vertically).

Worked example

Describe $y = (x + 1)^2 - 3$ compared with $y = x^2$ .

1 unit to the left

x + 1 = x − (−1): h = −1.

3 units down

− 3 outside: k = −3.

Vertex:

(-1, -3)

The vertex (0, 0) moves with the graph.

Your turn, guided

Your turn: $y = (x - 4)^2 + 2$ .

4 units to the right

x − 4: h = 4.

2 units up

+ 2 outside.

Inside $f(\dots)$ acts on $x$ ; outside acts on $y$ .

Watch out: $f(x + 3)$ moves the graph left.

7. Stretches and compressions; even and odd functions

Warm-up

Three quick questions from earlier lessons.

Discover

Move the slider and watch the graph of $y = (bx)^2$ .

The graph of y = (bx)², a parabola that gets narrower as b grows.

When $b$ goes from 1 to 2, the graph becomes…

narrower
wider

Key idea

Multiplying stretches or squeezes a graph. Symmetry has a name.

For

a > 1

y = a f(x)

stretches the graph vertically by

a

. For

b > 1

y = f(bx)

compresses it horizontally by

b

f

is even if

f(-x) = f(x)

(symmetric about the

y

-axis), odd if

f(-x) = -f(x)

(symmetric about the origin).

Worked example

Is $f(x) = x^3 - 2x$ even, odd, or neither?

f(-x) = (-x)^3 - 2(-x)

Replace x by (−x).

= -x^3 + 2x

(−x)³ = −x³ and −2(−x) = 2x.

= -(x^3 - 2x) = -f(x)

: odd

Factor out −1: this is −f(x).

Your turn, guided

Your turn: $f(x) = x^4 + 3$ . Check one value.

8. Inverse functions

Warm-up

Three quick questions from earlier lessons.

Discover

$f(x) = x + 7$ adds 7. Which function undoes it, and gives back the number you started with?

$x - 7$
$\dfrac{1}{x + 7}$
$x + 7$

Key idea

The inverse function $f^{-1}$ undoes $f$ : it swaps inputs and outputs.

f(a) = b

, then

f^{-1}(b) = a

. To find

f^{-1}(x)

: write

y = f(x)

, solve for

x

, then rename. The graph of

f^{-1}

is the reflection of the graph of

f

across the line

y = x

$f^{-1}(x)$ is not $\dfrac{1}{f(x)}$ : the $-1$ is not an exponent here.

Worked example

$f(x) = 3x - 5$ . Find $f^{-1}(x)$ .

y = 3x - 5

Name the output y.

y + 5 = 3x

f subtracts 5 last, so undo that first: add 5.

x = \dfrac{y + 5}{3}

Then undo × 3: divide by 3.

f^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{x + 5}{3}

Rename the input x.

Your turn, guided

Your turn: $f(x) = 2x + 6$ .

y = 2x + 6

Name the output y.

y - 6 = 2x

Undo + 6 first.

f^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{x - 6}{2}

Divide by 2, then rename.

6. Transformations: shifts and reflections

$\left(x - 1\right)^{2} - 6$
$\left(x - 3\right)^{2} - 1$
$\left(x - 4\right)^{2} - 6$
$\left(x - 7\right)^{2} - 1$

$y = \left(x - 1\right)^{2} - 3$
$y = \left(x - 1\right)^{2} - 1$

$y = f(x) + 3$ → moves it up 3 units · $y = f(x - 3)$ → moves it 3 units to the right · $y = -f(x)$ → reflects it across the x-axis · $y = f(-x)$ → reflects it across the y-axis

$\left(x - 1\right)^{2} - 6$
$\left(x - 3\right)^{2} - 1$
$\left(x - 4\right)^{2} - 6$

7. Stretches and compressions; even and odd functions
