DEFINITION OF A FUNCTION
A function is a relationship between
two variables such that to each value
of the independent variable there
corresponds exactly one value of the FUNCTION
dependent variable.

FUNCTION  y  f ( x)
NOTATION
y is the dependent variable
x is the independent variable
NOT A FUNCTION
f is the value of the function at x.
 EVALUATING A FUNCTION
Rule in Evaluating a Function
 Replace every in 𝑥the function rule
   
with the given¿
replacement value, then, simplify the resulting
numerical expression.

2
Example : Evaluate the function 𝑓 ( 𝑥)=𝑥 +3 𝑥 −2
 

for each replacement value of .  

𝑥
a)  3 b) 0
 To evaluate the function, simply replace
 
¿
with the
given replacement value then, simplify the result.

 OPERATION ON FUNCTIONS
SUM of functions
 If 𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 are
 
𝑔 functions with domains  
𝐷𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝑔 ,
Respectively, their sum is the function defined as
( 𝑓 + 𝑔 )( 𝑥 )=𝑓 ( 𝑥 )+ 𝑔 ( 𝑥 )
 

With the domain  

{ 𝑥∨𝑥 ∈ 𝐷𝑓 ∩ 𝐷 𝑔 }
Example:
3 2
Let 𝑓 ( 𝑥)=2 𝑥 − 5 𝑥 +4 and 𝑔( 𝑥)=3 𝑥 +2 𝑥 −6.
   

Find ( 𝑓 + 𝑔 )( 𝑥 ).
 
SOLUTION:
3 2
 
𝑓 ( 𝑥 )= 2 𝑥 − 5 𝑥+ 4∧ 𝑔 ( 𝑥)=3 𝑥 + 2 𝑥 − 6

 OPERATION ON FUNCTIONS
Difference of functions
 If 𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 are
 
𝑔 functions with domains  
𝐷𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝑔 ,
Respectively, their difference is the function defined as

( 𝑓
 
With the domain − 𝑔 )( 𝑥 ) =𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) − 𝑔 ( 𝑥 )
{ 𝑥∨𝑥 ∈ 𝐷𝑓 ∩ 𝐷 𝑔 }
 

Example:
 
5 𝑥 −2  
− 7 𝑥 +3
Let 𝑓 ( 𝑥)= 3 and 𝑔( 𝑥)= 4 . Find  
¿.
SOLUTION:  
5 𝑥−2 − 7 𝑥 +3

 INTEGRATION
A function is also a set of ordered pairs, however, every x-value
must be associated to only one y-value.
