monomial
has the same output value no matter what your input value is. It has a form of f(x) = b, where b is a constant (a single value that does not change)
Constant Function
f(x) = b
Constant Function
Is a function that returns the same value which was used as its argument.
F(x)=x; for all values of x
Identity Function
F(2)=2 (x=2)
Identity Function
