XI Maths Relations and Functions 2 of 2

This document defines and provides examples of several types of functions: 1) Identity functions map each input to itself. Constant functions map each input to the same constant value. Polynomial functions are defined by polynomials and include linear, quadratic, and cubic functions. 2) Rational functions are defined as the ratio of two polynomial functions. The modulus, signum, and greatest integer functions are also described. 3) Examples of graphs are provided for linear, quadratic, cubic, and greatest integer functions to illustrate their properties.

Types of functions

1) Identity function
The function f : R→ 𝐑 defined
by, y = f(x) = x , x 𝝐 R is called
the identity function.
Domain = R, Range = R.
The graph is a straight line. It
passes through the origin.
2) Constant function:
The function f : R → 𝐑 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝
by, y = f (x) = c, x 𝝐 R where c is a
constant is called constant
function.
Domain = R, Range = {c}.

The graph is a line parallel to x-axis.


3) Polynomial function:
A function f: R → 𝐑 defined by f (x) = 𝒂𝟎 + 𝒂𝟏 𝒙 + 𝒂𝟐 x2 + ...+ 𝒂𝒏 xn,
where n is a non-negative integer and 𝒂𝟎 , 𝒂𝟏 , … … . 𝒂𝒏 𝛜 R is
called a polynomial function.
Note:
1). The function f(x) = ax + b, x ∈ R, is called a linear function.
2) The function f(x) = 𝒂x2 + bx + c, x ∈ R, is called a quadratic
function, where a , b and c 𝛜 R
Graph of some polynomial functions
i) Linear function
Example :
Draw the graph of
f(x) = x + 10
ii) Quadratic Function
Example:
Draw the graph of f(x) = x2

Note: The graph of a quadratic function

is a parabola
iii) Cubic Function :
Example:
Draw the graph of the
function
f (x) = x3, x ∈ R.
4) Rational functions:
A function f: R → 𝐑 is said to be rational function if
𝐠(𝐱)
f(x) = , where g(x) and h(x) are polynomial
𝐡(𝐱)
functions of x, where h(x) ≠ 0.

𝒙+𝟑
Example : f(x) = ,x≠4
𝒙−𝟒
5) The Modulus function
The function f :R → 𝐑 defined
by f(x) = |x| for each x 𝝐 R
is called modulus function.

𝒙, 𝒊𝒇 𝒙 ≥ 𝟎
i.e. f(x) = ቊ
−𝒙, 𝒊𝒇 𝒙 < 𝟎

Domain= R & Range = [0, ∞)


6) Signum function:
The function f: R → 𝐑 defined by

is called the signum function.


For signum function,
Domain = R & Range ={–1, 0, 1}
7) Greatest integer function:
The function f: R → 𝐑 defined
by f(x) = [x], x 𝝐 R is called the
greatest integer function.
Here, [x] denotes the greatest
integer less than or equal to x.
For example,
[-2.8] = -3, [2.8] = 2
For greatest integer function, Domain = R, Range = Z
What have we learned today?
➢ Function : A function f from a set A to a set B is a special
relation in which, every element of set A has unique image in
set B.
➢ A is the called the domain and B is the codomain of f .
➢ Range : The range of the function is the set of images.
➢ A real function has the set of real numbers or one of its
subsets both as its domain and as its range.
