1. Rational Functions
A rational function is a ratio of two polynomials:

f(x) = P(x) / Q(x), where Q(x) ≠ 0.

Example:
Consider the rational function:

f(x) = (2x^2 - 3x + 1) / (x - 1)
To find the vertical asymptote, set the denominator equal to zero: x - 1 = 0 → x = 1.

2. Radical Functions
A radical function contains a square root, cube root, or any higher-order root of a variable.
The general form of a radical function is f(x) = √g(x).

Example:
Consider the radical function:

f(x) = √(x + 4)
The domain is found by setting the expression under the square root greater than or equal
to 0:
x + 4 ≥ 0 → x ≥ -4.

3. Absolute Value Functions


An absolute value function has the form f(x) = |x|. The graph of f(x) = |x| is V-shaped.

Example:
Consider the function:

f(x) = |x - 2|
The vertex of the graph is at (2, 0), and the function is symmetric.

4. One-to-One Functions
A function is one-to-one if every element of the range corresponds to exactly one element of
the domain.
Example:
Consider the function:

f(x) = 2x + 3
This is a one-to-one function because each x-value has a unique y-value.

5. Inverse Functions
An inverse function reverses the roles of the input and output. If f(x) is the original function,
its inverse is denoted as f⁻¹(x).

Example:
Consider the function:

f(x) = (x - 2) / 3
To find the inverse, solve for x:
y = (x - 2) / 3 → x = 3y + 2 → f⁻¹(x) = 3x + 2.
