Functions a set of ordered pairs (x , y) such that no two ordered pairs have the same x- values but different y- values.
Types of Function (Based on Degree)
Constant function - Polynomial function of degree of zero.
Linear function - Degree of one
Quadratic function - Degree of two
Cubic function - degree of three.
The Vertical Line Test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function.
Each element of the range is paired with exactly one element of the domain is called One to One Function.
If one element in the domain have more than one element in the range, this diagram is called One to Many Function.
One to Many relations are not functions.
Evaluating functions means replacing the variable in the function. In this case x, with a value from the functions domain and computing for the result. To denote that we are evaluating f at a for some a in the domain of f we write f(a).

Restriction in Polynomial Function
An algebraic expression is a polynomial if its satisfies the following conditions:
No variables should appear with negative exponent in the denominator.
