13. Summary Important Facts About Functions • For each x in the domain of f, there is exactly one image f(x) in the range; however, an element in the range can result from more than one x in the domain. • f is the symbol that we use to denote the function. It is symbolic of the equation that we use to get from an x in the domain to f(x) in the range. • If y = f(x), then x is called the independent variable or argument of f, and y is called the dependent variable or the value of f at x.

15. A function f is even if for every number x in its domain the number -x is also in its domain and f(-x) = f(x) A function f is odd if for every number x in its domain the number -x is also in its domain and f(-x) = - f(x) 1.4 Properties of Functions: Even and Odd Functions
