4

Range of a function

The set of all possible output values (y-values) for the function.

A quadratic function where the output is the square of the input.

6

Inverse function

A function that reverses the effect of the original function, written as f⁻¹(x).

7

Composite function

A function made by combining two functions, written as f(g(x)).

8

Linear function

A function of the form f(x) = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

9

Quadratic function

A function of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.
