➢ Functions:
➔ A function is a relation such that no two ordered pairs in the relation have the same first coordinate
➔ For each x in the domain of a function f, there is a unique element y in the range such that (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑓.
The element y is called the image of x under f or the value of f at x and is denoted by f(x).
➔ When the domain of a function is not explicitly stated, it is assumed to consist of all real numbers for
which the rule has meaning; this is called implied domain or the maximal domain of the function.
➔ For a function f, the domain is denoted by dom f and the range by ran f
➔ Let f and g be functions such that dom 𝑓 ∩ 𝑑𝑜𝑚 𝑔 ≠⊘ Then the sum, f + g, and the product, fg, as
functions 𝑓 ∩ 𝑑𝑜𝑚 𝑔 are defined by
● (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) and (fg)(x) = f(x) * g(x)
➔ The domain of 𝑓 ◦ 𝑔 is the domain of g. The composition 𝑓 ◦ 𝑔 is defined only if the range of g is
subset of the domain of f.
➔ If f is one - to - one function, then a new function f⁻¹called the inverse of f, may be defined by
● f⁻¹ (x) = y if f(y) =x, for x𝑥 ∈ 𝑟𝑎𝑛 𝑓, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑑𝑜𝑚 𝑓
➔ For one- to - one function f and its inverse f⁻¹:
● Dom f⁻¹ = ran f
● Ran f⁻¹ = dom f
➢ Types of function:
➔ A function f is odd f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in domain of f
➔ A power function is a function f with rule f(x) = x^r, where r is a rational number
➔ For a power function f(x) = x^n, where n is a non - zero integer, the general shape of the graph
depends on whether n is positive or negative and whether n is even or odd
➔ For a power function f(x) = x¹/n, where n is a positive integer, the general shape of the graph depends
on whether n is even or odd:
Coordinate geometry
➢ The distance between two points A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) is
AB= (𝑥₂ − 𝑥₁)² + (𝑦₂ − 𝑦₁)²
➢ The midpoint of the line segment joining (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is the points with coordinates
( (𝑥₁ + 𝑥₂)/2, (𝑦₁ + 𝑦₂)/2)
➢ The gradient of the straight line joining two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is
m= y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
➢ For a straight line with gradient m, the angle of slope is found using
m= tanθ
Where θ is the angle that the line makes with the positive direction of the x axis
➢ If 2 straight lines are perpendicular to each other the product of the gradient is -1
m₁ m₂ = -1
➢ Simultaneous equations:
➔ Unique solutions (lines intersect at a point), eg: y= 2x+3 and y=3x+3
➔ Infinitely many solutions (lines coincide), eg: y= 2x+3 and 2y=4x+6
➔ No solutions (lines and parallel), eg: y= 2x+3 and y= 2x+4

➢ Turning point:
➔ The graph of y=a(x-h)²+k is a parabola which the turning point (h,k) and the x-asymptotes is h and y
asymptotes is k
➔ y= ax² +bx+c may transposed into turning point from y= a(x-h)² + k
➢ Axis of symmetry:
➔ The axis symmetry x=-b/2a
➢ Quadratic formula:
➔ The solutions of the quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0 are given by the quadratic equation
➢ Polynomials in general:
➔ The degree of a polynomial is the index n of the leading term.
● Polynomials of degree 1 are called linear functions
● Polynomials of degree 2 are called quadratic functions
● Polynomials of degree 3 are called cubic functions
● Polynomials of degree 4 are called quartic functions
➢ Division of polynomials:
➔ Where we divide the polynomial D(x) we obtain two polynomials Q(x) the quotient and the R(x) the reminder,
such that P(x) = D(x)Q(x) + R(x)
➢ Remainder/factor theorem:
➔ When P(x) is divided by the β𝑥 + α the reminder is P(-α/β)
➔ If β𝑥 + α is a factor of P(x), then β𝑥 + α = 0
➢ Logarithms:
➔ For a∈R⁺/ (1), the logarithms function with base a is defined as follows:
● a^x = y is equivalent to logₐ y = x
➔ Sketch graphs of the form y=logₐ x a transformations of these graphs
