Circle
A circle is the set of all points in a plane equidistant from a fixed
point. The fixed distance is called the radius, and the fixed point is
called the center.

Vertical Line Test for a Function
An equation defines a function if each vertical line in the rectangular coordinate
system passes through at most one point on the graph of the equation.
If any vertical line passes through two or more points on the graph of an equation,
then the equation does not define a function.

Properties of a Quadratic Function and Its Graph
f(x) = ax2 + bx + c = a(x - h)2 + k a  0
1.
The graph of f is a parabola:
2. Vertex: (h, k) (Parabola increases on one side of the vertex and decreases on the other.)
3. Axis (of symmetry): x = h (Parallel to y axis)
4. f(h) = k is the minimum if a > 0 and the maximum if a < 0.
5. Domain: All real numbers
Range: (–, k] if a < 0 or [k, ) if a > 0

Composite Functions
Given functions f and g, then f ° g is called their composite and is defined
by the equation
(f ° g)(x) = f [g (x)]
The domain of f ° g is the set of all real numbers x in the domain of g where
g(x) is in the domain of f.

One-to-One Functions
A function is one-to-one if no two ordered pairs in the function have the same
second component and different first components.
Horizontal Line Test
A function is one-to-one if and only if each horizontal line intersects the graph
of the function in at most one point.

If a function f is increasing throughout its
domain or decreasing throughout its

Finding the Inverse of a Function f
Step 1.
Find the domain of f and verify that f is one-to-one. If f is not oneto-one, then stop, since f–1 does not exist.
Step 2.
Solve the equation y = f(x) for x. The result is an equation of the
form x = f–1(y).
Step 3.
Interchange x and y in the equation found in step 2. This
expresses f–1 as a function of x.
Step 4.
Find the domain of f–1. Remember, the domain of f–1 must be the
same as the range of f.
Check your work by verifying that:
f–1[f(x)] = x
for all x in the domain of f
f[f–1(x)] = x
for all x in the domain of f–1
