Inverse function is represented by f-1 with regards to the original function f and the domain of the original function becomes the range of inverse function and the range of the given function becomes the domain of the inverse function. The graph of the inverse function is obtained by swapping (x, y) with (y, x) with… Continue reading Inverse Function

Identification of a Function in Math
A function in math means a correspondence from one value x of the first set to another value y of the second set. This correspondence can be of the following four types. But every correspondence is not a function. In the example below, only 1 – 1 and many to one are examples of a function because… Continue reading Identification of a Function in Math
Representation of Functions in Math
The rule which specifies a function can come in many different forms based on how it is defined. They can be defined as piecewise-defined-functions or as formulas. When we define f(x) = √x, for x ≥ 0, then the inputs are the numbers that we provide and the ‘taking square root’ function accepts all non-negative real numbers… Continue reading Representation of Functions in Math
Functions in Math
Functions are the fundamental part of the calculus in mathematics. The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input x. Mapping or transformation is used to denote a function in math. These functions are usually denoted by letters such… Continue reading Functions in Math
Precalculus
Precalculus in mathematics is a course that includes trigonometry and algebra designed to prepare students for the study of calculus. In precalculus, we focus on the study of advanced mathematical concepts including functions and quantitative reasoning. Some important topics covered under precalculus are, Functions Inverse Functions Complex Numbers Rational Function
What are Important Calculus Formulas ?
A few of the important formulas used in calculus to solve complex problems are as listed below, Ltx→0 (xn – an)(x – a) = na(n – 1) ∫ xn.dx = xn + 1/(n + 1) + C ∫ ex.dx = ex + C d/dx xn = nxn – 1 d/ dx Constant = 0 d/dx ex = ex
Applications of Calculus
Calculus is a very important branch, a mathematical model that helps in: Analyzing a system to find an optimal solution to predict the future of any given condition for a function. Concepts of calculus play a major role in real life, either it is related to solve the area of complicated shapes, evaluating survey data,… Continue reading Applications of Calculus
Differential Calculus
Differential calculus focuses on solving the problem of finding the rate of change of a function with respect to the other variables. To find the optimal solution, derivatives are used to calculate the maxima and minima values of a function. Differential helps in the study of the limit of a quotient, dealing with variables such… Continue reading Differential Calculus
Functions
Functions in calculus represent the relationship between two variables, which are the independent variable and the dependent variable. Let’s consider the following diagram. There is an INPUT, a black box, and an OUTPUT. For example, suppose we want to make a pizza. We would need the following basic ingredients. Pizza Base Pizza Sauce Cheese Seasoning… Continue reading Functions
