Functions and Their Graphs
- Even Function
- Odd Function
f (– x) = – f (x)
- Periodic Function
f (x + nT) = f (x)
- Inverse Function
y = f (x) is any function, x = g (y) or y = f – 1
(x) is its inverse function.

- Composite Function
y = f (u), u = g (x),
y = f (g (x)) is a composite function.
- Linear Function
y = ax + b, x ∈ R, a = tan α is the slope
of the line, b is the y-intercept.
