MATHEMATICS (1ST QUARTER)

 A function is a rule of correspondence from the elements of one set X to the


elements of another set Y.
 A piecewise function consists of a set of different intervals of x with the value of y.
 Evaluating Functions
To evaluate a function, follow these steps:
Step 1: Write the original function.
Step 2: Substitute the given value to the variable.
Step 3: Simplify by applying the order of operations.
 In finding the difference of two functions, keep in mind that the signs of the terms of
the second function will be changed after removing the parenthesis.
 The order in which fractions are subtracted is important. Thus, f(x) – g(x) is not the
same as g(x) - f(x) if f(x) ≠ g(x).
 The sum of two functions f(x) and g(x) is defined by (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x).
 The difference of two functions f(x) and g(x) is defined by (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x).
h
()
 When dividing functions, the order of the functions is important. Generally, g ( x ) is different

from ( hg ) ( x ) if h(x) ≠ g(x).


 The product of two functions f(x) and g(x) is defined by (f • g)(x) = f(x) • g(x).

( f ) ( f ( x) )
 The quotient of two functions f(x) and g(x) is defined by g ( x )= g( x ) where g(x) ≠
0.
 For functions f and g, the composition f(g(x)) is not always equal to g(f(x)).
 To find the composite function, perform the inner function first, then replace the
result to the outer function.
 Given two functions f(x) and g(x), their composite is denoted by (f o g)(x) or f(g(x)).
P( x ) P( x )
 A rational function is a function of the form f(x) = Q(x) or y = Q(x) , where P(x) and
Q(x) are polynomial functions, and Q(x) cannot be equal to zero.
 A rational equation is the equality of two expressions in which one or more of the
terms are in fractional form.
 A rational inequality is an inequality which contains a rational expression. It also
involves oe of the relational symbols <, >, <, or >.
 A rational equation is an equation that contains one or more expressions in
fractional form.
 An extraneous solution is a value obtained in solving a rational equation. However,
an extraneous solution yields an undefined expression when substituted to the
equation.
 Do not include a value that makes the denominator of the rational expression equal
to zero. The symbols ( and ) denote that the endpoint of the interval is not included
in the solution set.
 When substituting the test value to the rational inequality, it is not necessary to get
the exact value. The sign (positive or negative) is more important.
 Solving inequalities is similar to solving equations.
 The solution set of an inequality consists of a range of values.
 A rational function can be represented through tables of values, graphs, and
equations.
 An asymptote is a line that a graph approaches but never intersects.
 The domain of a rational function is the set of all real numbers except those that
make its denominator equal to zero.
 The range is the set of the resulting values of the rational function.
 A one-to-one function is a set of ordered pairs where each element of the domain is paired with
only one element of the range and vice versa.
 The inverse function interchanges the x and the y values of a given function.
 Given a function f(x) with inverse f-1 (x), we have f-1(f(x)) = x and f(f-1(x)) = x.
 Not all functions have inverse functions.
 The graphs of a function and its inverse are reflections of each other with respect to the line y = x.
 The domain of a one-to-one function f(x) is the range of its inverse f -1 (x).
 The range of a one-to-one function f(x) is the domain of its inverse f -1 (x).
 An exponential function is a function of the form f(x) = bx where b>0, b ≠ 1, and x is
any real number.
 Exponential equation is an equation in which the unknown occurs as part of the
index or exponent.
 Exponential inequality is an inequality which has variables in the exponent(s).

 In solving an exponential equation, do the following steps:


Step 1: Make the bases the same.
Step 2: Copy the exponents and equate them.
Step 3: Solve the resulting equation.
Step 4: Check if the obtained value satisfies the given equation.
 Steps in solving exponential inequalities:
Step 1: Make the bases the same.
Step 2: Copy the exponents and the relational symbol.
Step 3: Solve the resulting inequality.
Step 4: Test a value to check if it satisfies the given inequality.
 A logarithmic function is a function of the form f(x) = logb x where b > 0 and b ≠ 1.
 It is the inverse of the exponential function.
 A logarithmic equation is the equality of at least one logarithmic expression.
 A logarithmic inequalityq is an inequality composed of at least one logarithmic
expression and relational signs (<, >, <, >).
 Let m and n be positive real numbers with b > 0 and b ≠ 1.
Logarithm of a Product: logb mn = logb m + logb n
m
Logarithm of a Quotient: logb n = logb m - logb n
Logarithm of a Power: logb mn = nlogb m
log b m
Logarithm of a Root: logb √n m =
n
Logarithm of 1 to Any Base: logb 1 = 0
Logarithm of b to the Base b : logb b = 1
Logarithm of bm to the Base b: logb bm = m
Logarithm of b to the Base bm: logbm b = 1/m.
Logarithmic equations can be converted to exponential equations and vice versa
using the following equivalence: logb y = x ↔ bx = y
Always check whether the obtained value of the variable satisfies the original
equation.
Negative numbers have no logarithms.
