 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 y= f(x) The graph of y= f(-x) is a reflection of the graph y= f(x)
in the x-axis. 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.
