The inverse of a function is the relation in which the roles of the independent anddependent variable are reversed.
A one-to-one function is a function for which each element of the range corresponds to exactly one element of the domain.
A piecewise function is a function which is defined by different rules depending on the value of the independent variable.

 General Types of Functions
In addition to their geometric and arithmetic properties, these transcendental functions are all solutions to "differential equations" -- equations relating the values of a function to its rate of change, the rate of change of the rate of change, and so on.
In the discussion of asymptotes of rational functions we pointed out indirectly that every rational function is asymptotic to a polynomial - the one obtained by dividing through by the larges power of the variable in the denominator and setting all resulting negative powers to zero.
Transcendental functions, on the other hand, can grow much faster (as in exponential functions) or much slower (as in logarithmic functions) than any power function, can be periodic (as in trigonometric functions), and can in general exhibit behavior beyond the algebraic realm.

 SparkNotes: Functions, Limits, and Continuity: Brief Review of Functions
A function is a rule that assigns to each element x from a set known as the "domain" a single element y from a set known as the "range".
When two functions are combined so that the output of one function becomes the input for the other, the resulting combined function is called a composite function.
One type of function we'll be dealing with often in calculus is the piecewise-defined function.

To determine whether a function is increasing or decreasing we must “read” the graph of the function from left to right.
Not all functions are classified as odd or even; a function that is not even or odd is called neither.
If a function is bounded and has domain consisting of the entire real line, the global maximum is the highest peak and the global minimum is the lowest valley.

The even function has infinitely inclusive properties such as those of a photon and it is an agreeable extension to call even functions 'feminine.' If the operation of translation or rotation have unique symmetries, then these operations can acquire gender as well.
Generically, all even functions are forces [and may she be with you].
Instead, because the circle is acceptable as both the even and the odd function, the circle is the originator and the go-between among the two.

 Even and Odd Functions
IF the function in question is a polynomial then yes: a function is "even" if and only if all powers of x are even.
A function is called "even" if f(-x)= f(x) for all numbers x (changing the sign on x doesn't change the value of the function at all), odd if f(-x)= -f(x) (changing the sign on x only changes the sign on f(x)) for all numbers x.
f(x)=cos(x) for example is an even function while g(x)= sin(x) is an odd function.

The parity of a permutation (as defined in abstract algebra) is the parity (even or odd) of the number of transpositions into which the permutation can be decomposed.
An odd function, such as an odd power of a variable, gives the negative of its result when given the negative of an argument.

 1.3 Fourier series of even and odd functions
If a particular function possesses certain symmetrical properties then some terms are absent from its Fourier series expansion and the expressions determining the remaining coefficients can be simplified.
The graph of an even function is symmetrical about the vertical axis and the graph of an odd function is symmetrical about the origin.
Now, if f(x) is an odd function then integrand equals zero, and if f(x) is an even function then integrand equals 2f(x) and we have proved this lemma.

Now we can formulate a definition of a function more exactly: such a rule (law) of a correspondence between a set X and a set Y, that for each element of a set X one and only one element of a set Y can be found, is called a function.
A graph of an even function is symmetrical relatively y-axis (Fig.5), a graph of an odd function is symmetrical relatively the origin of coordinates (Fig.6).
Geometrically, a zero of a function is x-coordinate of a point of intersection of the function graph and x-axis.

 Even and Odd Functions

An even function is also symmetric, but the term symmetric applies also to functions symmetric about a point other than 0.
