PolynomialsA function P is called a polynomial if
P(x) = anxn + an–1xn–1 + . . . + a2x2 + a1x + a0
where n is a nonnegative integer and the numbers a0, a1, a2, . . ., an are constants coefficients
The domain of any polynomial is If the leading coefficient an 0, then the degree of the polynomial is n.
For example, the function
is a polynomial of degree 6.

Polynomials – Special Cases
A polynomial of degree 1 is of the form P(x) = mx + b and so
it is a linear function.
A polynomial of degree 2 is of the form P(x) = ax2 + bx + c
and is called a quadratic function.
![Page 8: Lecture 2 family of fcts](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/547dcfe5b479598e508b4a19/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Polynomials - QuadraticsGraph is a parabola
The parabola opens upward if a > 0 and downward if a < 0.

Polynomials - CubicA polynomial of degree 3 is of the form
P(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d a 0
and is called a cubic function.
Figure 8 shows the graph of a cubic function in part (a)and graphs of polynomials of degrees 4 and 5 in parts (b) and (c).

Power FunctionsA function of the form f(x) = xa, where a is a constant, is called a power function.

Power FunctionsThe general shape of the graph of f (x) = xn depends on whether n is even or odd.
If n is even, then f (x) = xn is an even function and its graph is similar to the parabola y = x2.
If n is odd, then f (x) = xn is an odd function and its graph is similar to that of y = x3.
![Page 14: Lecture 2 family of fcts](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/547dcfe5b479598e508b4a19/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Power Functionsas n increases, the graph of y = xn becomes flatter near 0 and steeper when | x | 1. (If x is small, then x2 is smaller, x3 is even smaller, x4 is smaller still, and so on.)

Power Functions – Root Functions(ii) a = 1/n, where n is a positive integer
The function is a root function.
For n = 2 it is the square root function whose domain is [0, ) and whose graph is the upper half of theparabola x = y2.

Rational FunctionsA rational function f is a ratio of two polynomials:
where P and Q are polynomials.
The domain consists of all values of x such that Q(x) 0.
A simple example of a rational function is the function f (x) = 1/x, whose domain is

Algebraic Functions
![Page 22: Lecture 2 family of fcts](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/547dcfe5b479598e508b4a19/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Algebraic Functions
A function f is called an algebraic function if it can be
constructed using algebraic operations (such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, and taking roots) starting
with polynomials. Any rational function is automatically an
algebraic function.
Here are two more examples:
![Page 23: Lecture 2 family of fcts](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/547dcfe5b479598e508b4a19/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Algebraic FunctionsThe graphs of algebraic functions can assume a variety of shapes.

Trigonometric Functions
![Page 25: Lecture 2 family of fcts](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/547dcfe5b479598e508b4a19/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Trigonometric Functions
In calculus use radians (not degrees) for angles

Trigonometric Functions
Thus the graphs of the sine and cosine functions are as
shown in Figure 18.

27
Trigonometric Functions
Notice that for both the sine and cosine functions the domain
is ( , ) and the range is the closed interval [–1, 1].
Thus, for all values of x, we have
or, in terms of absolute values,
| sin x | 1 | cos x | 1
![Page 28: Lecture 2 family of fcts](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/547dcfe5b479598e508b4a19/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Trigonometric Functions
Also, the zeros of the sine function occur at the integer
multiples of ; that is,
sin x = 0 when x = n n an integer
An important property of the sine and cosine functions is
that they are periodic functions and have period 2.
This means that, for all values of x,
![Page 29: Lecture 2 family of fcts](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/547dcfe5b479598e508b4a19/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Trigonometric Functions – Tan(x)
The tangent function is related to the sine and cosine
functions by the equation
tan(x) is undefined
whenever cos x = 0, that is,
when x = /2, 3/2, . . . .
Its range is ( , ).
![Page 30: Lecture 2 family of fcts](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/547dcfe5b479598e508b4a19/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Trigonometric Functions
Notice that the tangent function has period :
tan (x + ) = tan x for all x
The remaining three trigonometric functions (cosecant,
secant, and cotangent) are the reciprocals of the sine,
cosine, and tangent functions.

The exponential functions are the functions of the form
f (x) = ax, where the base a is a positive constant.
Domain is ( , ) and the range is (0, ).
