 1.Definition of a function

A function is a relation that uniquely

associates members of one set with
members of another set.

DEFINITION
RANGE & DOMAIN
The inverse of function f(x) is the function
that undoes what f(x) has done.
We write the inverse of the functions

An inverse function exists if, and

only if, the function f(x) is a one-one
mapping
 4. The graph of a function and its inverse

This is because:

When a function f is self-

inverse, the graph of f will be
symmetrical about the line y=x.

 Reflection
The graph of y= −f(x) is a reflection of the graph The graph of y= f(-x) is a reflection of the
y= f(x) in the x-axis. graph y= f(x) in the y-axis
 Stretch
Y-AXIS
The graph of y = af(x) is a stretch
of the graph y = f(x) with stretch
factor a parallel to the
y-axis.
 Stretch

X-AXIS
The graph of
y = f(ax) is a
stretch of
the graph y
= f(x) with
stretch
factor 1/a
parallel to
the x-axis.
