1. A function f from a set of elements x to a set of elements y is a rule that assigns to each elements x in
X exactly one element y in Y.
One way to demonstrate the meaning of the definition is by using an arrow diagram.
g : X → Y is not a function. The element 1 in set X is assigned two elements 3 and 4 in set Y.
2. A function can be described as a set of ordered pairs (x, y) s.t for any x-value in the set, there is only
one y-value. This means that there cannot be any replicated x-values with different y-values.
Example
F = {(1, 5), (3, 3), (2, 3), (4, 2)} is a function.
G = {(1, 5), (4, 2), (2, 3), (3, 3), (1, 6)} is not a function.
Types of Functions
One to one function (Injection)
g(x1 ) = g(x2 )
x1 = x2
g(1) = (1)2 = 1
g(−1) = (−1)2 = 1

Graph of One-to-one Function
An easy way to determine whether a function is one-to-one is to draw a horizontal line across the graph if
two points (x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2 ) have the same y-value, then the function is not one-to-one.

Graph of y = f −1 (x)
Since the function y = f −1 (x) is the same as the equation x = f (y) the graph of both equations are
identical.
To graph the equation x = f (y), we note that this equation results from switching the roles of x and y in
the equation y = f (x).
Thus transformation of equation results in a transformation of the graph amounting to reflection in the
line y = x. Thus, the graph of y = f −1 (x) in the line y = x and vice versa.
Note that the reflection of the (x1 , y1 ) in the line y = x is (y1 , x1 ). Therefore if the point (x1 , y1 ) is on
the graph of y = f −1 (x), we must have (y1 , x1 ) on the graph of y = f (x)

f ′ (f −1 (x))
Geometrically, this means that if (a, f −1 (a)) is a point on the curve y = f −1 (x), then the point (f −1 (a), a)
is on the curve y = f (x) and the slope of the tangent to the curve y = f −1 (x) at (a, f −1 (a)) is the reciprocal
of the tangent to the curve y = f (x) at the point (f −1 (a), a).
