Exponential Function

f(x) = a (bx) + c

● Exponential function is a kind of function whose value is a constant raised to the

power of the argument.An example is y= 2^x + 1. The horizontal asymptote of the
function is always located at y=c in that case y=1 will be our horizontal
asymptote. When you input a value for x in an equation you get a value for y. For
equations such as y= 2^x + 1, y would be the dependent variable because it is
usually isolated on one side of an equation. Formally, a dependent variable is a
variable in an expression, equation, or function that has its value determined by
the choice of value(s) of other variable(s). To graph this equation use the values
x = -2,-1,0,1,2, and substitute it to the equation the results will be y = 5/4,3/2,
2,3,5. After getting some test points plot it in the graph. As you can see the line
slowly decreases but is never going to pass the line y=1. The domain of any
exponential function is all real numbers and the range is {y|y>1} based on the
graph. Graphing inequalities, let's take a look at y< 2^x +1 has the same graph
as y= 2^x +1, although it has restrictions.

Logarithmic Function

● Logarithmic functions are the inverses of exponential functions, and any

exponential function can be expressed in logarithmic form. Similarly, all
logarithmic functions can be rewritten in exponential form. Logarithms are really
useful in permitting us to work with very large numbers while manipulating
numbers of a much more manageable size.An example of a logarithmic function
is f(x)= log base2 (x-1). The vertical asymptote is x=1. We get the vertical
asymptote by doing x-1>0. Before we can get the domain and range, we should
set some points and graph. In order to graph easily, we changed the logarithm to
exponential function(2^y) + 1=x. If y is 0, then x is 2. If y is 1, then x is 3. If y is 2,
then x is 5. Put the vertical asymptote to the graph and then plot the points into
the graph. The domain of the function is {x|x>1} The range of the function is All
Real Numbers because it is the inverse of the domain of the exponential function
f(x)=(2^x)+1. As we can see that my graph reflects Aaron’s graph(expo function)
along the line y=x. My graph and Aaron’s graph are inverses of each other. To
get the independent variable, you should substitute the x or y to any numbers.
 For example, f(x)=(2^x) + 1. We substitute the x by 0. This is why f(0)=(2^0) + 1
is equal to 2. The independent variable is f(0). The dependent variable is the
(2^0) + 1.

Polynomial/Constant Function

● A polynomial or constant function is a function that has the same output value no
matter what your input value is. Because of this, a constant function has the form
y = b. An example of a constant function is f(x)=2. A constant function has a
straight line graph, therefore it has no asymptotes. The domain of this constant
function is all real numbers because you can put any real number in the x
variable and it will still produce a valid output. The range is {y|y=2} because the
graph is a horizontal line y=2, it is neither greater or lesser than 2. The
independent variable is the variable that changes such as x, for example
y=mx+b, the independent variables are mx+b while the dependent variable is y
because y depends on the values of the independent variables. To get the
inverse of y=0x+2, we will interchange x and y so it will become x=0y+2 or x=2.
The domain and range of an inverse function is always equal to the range and
domain of the function.​ ​The domain of the inverse is equal to the range of the
function and vice-versa​.​ So,t​he domain will be {x|x=2} and the graph will become
a vertical line touching x=2. The range is then all real numbers. What if we
replace the equal sign with an inequality, what would the graph look like? For
example, f(x)>2. The f(x) value would be anything greater than 2.

Radical Function

● A radical as you might remember is something that is under a radical sign e.g. a
square root. A radical function contains a radical expression with the independent
variable (usually x) in the radicand. Usually radical equations where the radical is
a square root is called square root functions.An example of a radical function is
A(x) = (square root of x) - 1. First is finding the domain and range, the Range is
always all real since any value of y is possible however we find the domain by
equating the x greater than or equal to 0 since negative values are not allowed.
This lets us have the domain which is x is greater than or equal to 0. Graphing a
radical function is much easier if we use perfect square numbers so let us use
the values 0, 1, and 4 for x. We substitute the values to the original functions thus
we get -1 for 0, 0 for 1 and 1 for 4. This specific function does not have an
 asymptote.We get the inverse of any function by exchanging the roles of x’s and
y’s. If we do that we get a quadratic function A^-1(x) = (x+1)^2 but since it should
reflect the A(x) function we must also restrict the negative side of its inverse. The
independent variables are the y’s and the x’s because they depend on the
number you choose to substitute to their coefficients. The independent variables,
however, are the constant because they aren't dependent on the number you
choose to use. If we change the = sign to a inequality it would be just restrict a
side of the function.

Combining exponential with another function

● I will combine the given function a(x)=(2^x) + 1 With the function f(x)=x + 1 in
order to do this I would be using the method of combination by means of
addition. So the resulting function would be (a+f)(x)=2^x + x + 2.

Combining logarithmic with another function

● I will combine the given function f(x)= log base2 (x-1) with another function which
is g(x) = 1. In order to combine these two functions I would be using the method
of combinations by means of multiplying. The resulting function would be (f*g)(x)
= log base2 (x-1) since anything multiplied by 1 stays the same.

Combining polynomial/constant with another function

● I will combine c(x) = 2 and h(x) =(x^2) - 1. In order to do this we must use the
method of combination by means of division. Thus the resulting function would
be (h/c)(x) = (x^2) - 1 / 2. This is the simplified form since there is no way of
further simplifying it once combined.

Combining radical with another function

● I will be combining the given function A(x) = (square root of x) + 1 with the
function J(x) = (x^3) + 1. This functions would be combined by means of
subtraction, so the resulting function would be (A-J)(x) = (x^3) + 1 -(square root
of x)+1. Distribute the negative then it would be (A-J)(x) = (x^3) + 1 - (square root
 of x) - 1. Your final function then would be (A-J)(x) = (x^3) - (square root of x) by
combining like terms.
