Chapter 1: Functions and Graphs
• Review of Functions
• Basic Classes of Functions
• Inverse Functions
• Example
a) Quadratic function: 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 (zeros?)
b) Cubic function: 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑥 3 + 𝑏𝑥 2 + 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑑
c) Power function: 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑥 𝑏 , 𝑏 ∈ ℕ+ (odd/even
functions)
Reciprocal identities
sin 𝜃 cos 𝜃 1 1
tan 𝜃 = , cot 𝜃 = , csc 𝜃 = , sec 𝜃 =
cos 𝜃 sin 𝜃 sin 𝜃 cos 𝜃
Pythagorean identities
sin2 𝜃 + cos2 𝜃 = 1, 1 + tan2 𝜃 = sec 2 𝜃 , 1 + cot 2 𝜃 = csc 2 𝜃
𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 has graph 𝐺
• Shifting 𝐺 to the right 𝑐 > 0
unit: 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 − 𝑐
• Shifting 𝐺 to the left 𝑐 > 0 unit:
𝑦=𝑓 𝑥+𝑐
• Shifting 𝐺 up 𝑐 > 0 unit:
𝑦 =𝑓 𝑥 +𝑐
• Shifting 𝐺 down 𝑐 > 0 unit:
𝑦=𝑓 𝑥 −𝑐
• Translation: combining horizontal
and vertical shifting
𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 has graph 𝐺
• Vertical scaling 𝐺 a factor 𝑐 > 0: 𝑦 = 𝑐𝑓 𝑥
• 𝑐 > 1: vertical stretch
• 0 < 𝑐 < 1: vertical compression
𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 has graph 𝐺
Horizontal scaling 𝐺 a factor 𝑐 > 0: 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑐𝑥
• 𝑐 > 1: horizontal compression
• 0 < 𝑐 < 1: horizontal stretched
𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 has graph 𝐺
• Reflect 𝐺 about the 𝑥-axis: 𝑦 = −𝑓 𝑥
• Reflect 𝐺 about the 𝑦-axis: 𝑦 = 𝑓 −𝑥
• Step 1: Obtain
𝐹1 : 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 2
by horizontally shifting 𝐺 by 2 units
to the left
• Step 2: Obtain
𝐹2 : 𝑦 = − 𝑥 + 2
by reflecting 𝐹1 about 𝑥 axis
• Step 3: Obtain
𝐺 :− 𝑥 + 2 − 3
by vertically shifts 𝐹2 down by 3
units
