THEOREMS
Polynomial function is a function that involves only non-
negative integer powers or only positive integer exponents of a
variable in an equation like the quadratic function, cubic
equation, etc.

Rational function is the ratio of two polynomial functions

where the denominator polynomial is not equal to zero. It is
usually represented as R(x) = P(x)/Q(x), where P(x) and Q(x)
are polynomial functions.

Radical function is a function that is defined by a radical

expression.
TRANSCENDENTAL
FUNCTIONS
Transcendental function is
not expressible as a finite
combination of the algebraic
operations of addition,
subtraction, multiplication,
division, raising to a power, and
extracting a root.
An exponential function is a Mathematical function in the form f (x) = ax, where “x” is a
variable and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function, and it should be
greater than 0. The most commonly used exponential function base is the transcendental
number e, which is approximately equal to 2.71828.
Logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That
means that the logarithm of a number x to the base b is
the exponent to which b must be raised to produce x.

Trigonometric functions are also known as Circular

Functions can be simply defined as the functions of an angle of
a triangle. It means that the relationship between the angles and
sides of a triangle are given by these trig functions. The basic
trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent,
secant and cosecant.

Functions
Continuity at
a Point
A function is continuous if
you can draw the graph
without lifting your pen or
pencil and the graph has no
breaks or holes.
 Suppose we are not given the
graph of the function but just
the function itself. How do we
determine if the function is
continuous at a given number?
Continuity on
an interval
A function is continuous at every point on the
interval. Equivalently, if we can draw the
entire graph of the function on an interval
without lifting our tracing pen, or without
being interrupted by a hole in the middle of
the graph, then we can conclude that the
function is continuous on that interval.
Interval notation is a way to describe
continuous sets of real numbers by the numbers
that bound them. Intervals, when written, look
somewhat like ordered pairs. However, they are
not meant to denote a specific point. Rather,
they are meant to be a shorthand way to write
an inequality or system of inequalities.
Intervals are written with rectangular
brackets or parentheses, and two numbers
delimited with a comma. The two
numbers are called the endpoints of the
interval. The number on the left denotes
the least element or lower bound. The
number on the right denotes the greatest
element or upper bound.
The rectangular bracket symbols, [ ],
[ ], are used to describe sets with a
"less than or equal to" or a "greater
than or equal to" element,
respectively. When both of the
endpoints are included in the interval,
the interval is a closed interval.
The parentheses symbols, ( ),( ), are
used to describe sets with a lower
bound or upper bound, respectively.
When both of the endpoints are
excluded from the interval, the
interval is an open interval.
A parenthesis means the number
is not included in the set but
every number higher than it is
included in the set, and a square
bracket means that the number is
included in the set.
