Functions And
Their Graphs
1. INTRODUCTION TO FUNCTIONS
Many scientific laws and engineering principles describe how one quantity depends on
another.
If a variable y depends on a variable x in such a way that each value of x determines exactly
one value of y, then we say that y is a function of x.
A function is a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with exactly one
element of the range.
In this notation, the symbol f represents the function, the letter x is the independent variable
representing the input value of f, and y is the dependent variable or output value of f at x.

2. GRAPH OF THE FUNCTIONS
Another way to visualize a function is its graph. If ƒ is a function with domain D, its
graph consists of the points in the Cartesian plane whose coordinates are the input-
output pairs for ƒ.

5. TYPES OF FUNCTIONS
There are many different types of functions that can be used to model relationships observed
in the real world.
1. Linear
When we say that y is a linear function of x, we mean that the graph of the function
is a line, so we can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line to write a formula
for the function as y=f ( x )=mx+ b .Where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
