Definition of a function A function is a rule that maps each value to just one y value for a defined set of input values. This means that mappings that are either one-one many-one are called functions. The mapping + where R, is a one-one function. The function can be defined as f : +, R or f() = +, R. The set of input values for a function is called the domain of the function. The set of output values for a function is called the range (or image set) of the function. worked eample The function f is defined by f()= ( ) + for 0. Answers f()= ( ) + is a positive quadratic function so the graph will be of the form ( ) + The minimum value of the epression is 0 + = and this minimum occurs when =. So the function f()= ( ) + will have a minimum point at the point (, ). When = 0, y = ( 0 ) + =. This part of the epression is a square so it will always be 0. The smallest value it can be is 0.
