What is a function?
A relation where each input has exactly one output
What is the domain of a function?
The set of all possible input values
What is the range of a function?
The set of all possible output values
What is a one-to-one (injective) function?
Each output value corresponds to exactly one input value
What is an onto (surjective) function?
The range equals the codomain; every possible output is achieved
What is an inverse function?
A function that reverses another function, denoted f^-1(x), where f(f^-1(x)) = x
What is function composition?
Applying one function to the output of another, written (f o g)(x) = f(g(x))
What is an even function?
A function where f(-x) = f(x) for all x in the domain
What is an odd function?
A function where f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in the domain
What is a vertical asymptote?
A vertical line x = a that a function approaches but never reaches
What is a horizontal asymptote?
A horizontal line y = b that a function approaches as x approaches infinity
What is an oblique (slant) asymptote?
A line that a rational function approaches as x approaches infinity, neither vertical nor horizontal
On the unit circle, what does sine of an angle equal?
The y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at that angle
On the unit circle, what does cosine of an angle equal?
The x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at that angle

tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x)
