Temperature Readings
The equation to convert the temperature from
degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius is:

 The equation to convert the temperature from
degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit is:
f(x) = 9 x + 32

Function
Set of ordered pairs {(x,y)| xX, yY},
where every element of X is associated
with a unique element of Y.
X is the domain (set of inputs) of the
function.
Y is the range of the function.
The image is the set of outputs.
Some Functions to Remember

Equal Functions: f(x) = g(x)

Identity Function: f(x) = x, idR(7) = 7

Constant Function: f(x) = 3, k(x) = y0

f(x) = 8
f(x) = x2 + 7
f(x) = 2x
Associate each integer with a number that is
twice the integer.
Composite Functions

The composition of g with f is the function
g o f = g o f(x) = g(f(x))

Notice that g o f is obtained by first doing f
and then doing g.

One-to-one
A function is one-to-one if it never sends two
elements of the domain to the same element
of the range.
Onto
A function is onto if no element of the range
goes unused.

Inverse Function
If a function has an inverse function, then it is 1-1.
If a function is 1-1, then it has an inverse function.
g -1(g(x)) = g (g-1(x)) = x, or g -1o g = g o g -1 = id(x)


A binary operation is a function where every
combination of two elements of set S results
in a unique answer in the set.
M: S  S  S
For example, addition, subtraction and
multiplication with Integers are all binary
operations.


Play with the set of numbers { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }.
Player 1 chooses a number from the set.
Player 2 chooses a number from the set and
writes the sum of the two numbers.
The players continue choosing numbers and
writing sums.
The first person to choose a number that
results in a sum of 50 wins the game.

Group:
A group is a set G together with a binary operation *
which satisfy the following:
(a) The operation * is associative for all elements of G.
(b) G contains a unique identity element, e. If x is any
element of g, e * x = x and x * e = x.
(c) Each element of G has an inverse in G. If x is any
element of g, x-1 is the inverse of x.
x * x-1 = e and x-1 * x = e
