Learning objectives

What the syllabus expects you to be able to do.

  1. 6.1.5.1Form 5: define a relation, its domain, co-domain and range, and describe types of relations.
  2. 6.1.5.2Form 5: define a function and distinguish between injective (one-to-one), surjective and bijective functions.
  3. 6.1.5.3Form 5: find the inverse of a given function and illustrate graphically the relation between a one-to-one function and its inverse.
  4. 6.1.5.4Form 5: illustrate the relationships between the graph of y = f(x) and the graphs of y = |f(x)|, y = af(x), y = f(x) + a, y = f(x + a) and y = f(ax).
  5. 6.1.5.5Form 5: find composite functions and model situations involving relations.
