If x is 4, then
y 2 =4
y =± 4 =±2

Example
1:
a) f ( x ) = 2 x − 1 f ( 3)

Quadratic Function
a) y = x − 3x + 3
2
b) f ( x ) = 2x 2
Cubic Function
a) y = 2 x +1
3
b) f ( x ) = x 3 + 2 x 2 −1
For example,
x2 −6x
f ( x) =
x +5
is a rational function, since the
numerator and denominator are each
polynomials.
