FUNCTIONS Flashcards
FUNCTION MEANING
relationship between variables
FUNCTIONS EQUATION
y = f (x)
FUNCTION
y = F (x)
DEPENDENT VARIABLE / OUTPUT
Y = f (x)
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE / INPUT
y = f (X)
DOMAIN
set of numbers which FUNCTION can be APPLIED
RANGE
set of numbers which FUNCTION ASSOCIATES with the numbers in the domain.
ONE INPUT CAN ONLY HAVE ________ OUTPUT
one
EQUATION IN IMPLICIT FORM (indirect)
x^2 + 2y = 1
EQUATION IN EXPLICIT FORM (direct)
y = 1/2 (1 - x^2)
EXPLICITY
defines y as a function of x (direct)
IMPLICITY
defines y as a function of x (indirect)
FUNCTION NOTATION EQUATION
f (x) = 1/2 (1 - x^2)
FUNCTION NOTATION MEANING
identifies the DEPENDENT variable as f(x),
tells you that is the INDEPENDENT variable and that the FUNCTION itself is f
