Part 1 Real functions of a real variable

4

If a variable y depends on 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.

Two commonly used methods of representing functions are:

1. By formulas 2. By graph

Definition of a function

variable (argument)

5

Let X and Y be any nonempty sets. A function or mapping f from X to Y denoted by is a rule that assigns to each element of Y exactly one element of X. We say that X is the domain of f.

We write or to indicate that the element is the value assigned by the function to element In this case, we say that y is the image of x. The set of all images is called the range or image set of f, denoted by

Another definition of a function

Note that if the domain and the range of a function are both real, then is called a real-valued function of a real variable, or simply a real function.

In order to specify a function completely, the domain must be stated explicitly. Otherwise the domain is taken as the largest possible subset of R for which the real-valued function can be defined.

Not every curve is the graph of a function! A curve in the xy-plane is the graph of a function

when it satisfies the vertical line property: any vertical line (a line parallel to the y-axis) intersects the curve at most once.
