THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF A REAL NUMBER Let us introduce a concept which we shall need later on: the absolute value of a real number. The Absolute Value of a Real Number 8 Definition. The absolute value (or modulus) of a real number x (written |x) is a nonnegative real number that satisfies the con- ditions x ifs; ax ife<0. Examples. |2|=: 101=0. From the definition it follows’ that the rel for any x. Let us examine some of the properties of absolute values. 1. The absolute value of an algebraic sum of several real numbers is no greater than the sum of the absolute values of the terms letuls|xitlyl. Proof. Let x-+y=0, then lxtyl=xty<|xl+/yl (since x<]x| and y0 such that all subsequent values of the variable, after a certain one, satisfy the condition —Maxr0. Basic Elementary Functions. Elementary Functions 23 Power function y=", 1. a is a positive integer. The function is defined in the infi- nite interval —oo0 anda 1. This function is defined for all values of x.

Ils graph is shown in Fig. 15, Trigonometric” functions. In the formulas y=sinx, ete., the independent variable x is expressed in radians. All the enumerated F trigonometric functions are periodic. Let us give a general definition of a Periodic function. logy Definition 1. "The function y=/(x) is called periodic if there exists a con- stant C, which, when added to (or sub- tracted’ from) the argument x, does not change the value of the’ function f(e-+-C)=Ff (x). The least such number is called the period of the function; it Fig. 1. will henceforward be designated as 21 From the definition it follows directly that y= sinx is a periodic function with a period 2n:_sinx sin(r+2n). The period of cosx is likewise 2x. The functions y=tane and y=cotx have a period equal to x. The functions y= sinx, y=cosx are defined for all values of x; the functions y=tanx and y=seex are defined everywhere except the points x=(2k+1)F(k=0, 1, 2, ...); the functions y=cot x and y=cscx are defined for all values of x except the points x=kn(b=0, 1,2, ...). Graphs of trigonometric functions are shown in Figs.’ 16, 17,18, and 19. The inverse trigonometric functions will be discussed in more detail later on, Basic Elementary Functions. Elementary Functions 2 Fig. 18. Fig. 19. Let us now introduce the concept of a function of a function, If_y is a function of u, and w (in turn) is dependent on the var- iable x, then y is also dependent on x. Let y=F(u) u=9(x). We get y as a function of x y=F ip (4). This function is called a function of a function or a composite function. Example 1. Let y: function of =x The function y=sin (x4) is a composite Note. The domain of definition of the function y =F [(x)} is either the entire domain of the function, «= p(x), or that part % Number. Variable. Function of it in which those values of w are defined that do not go beyond the domain of the function F (u), Example 2, The domain of definition of the function y= Vi—s*(y= Vu, u=t—a) is the closed interval {—1, 1], because when | x]> Iu <0 and, conse” quently. the, function Vu is pot defined although the function w= t—? ig lefined for all values of x). The graph of this function is the upper hail of a circle with centre at the origin of the coordinate system and with radius tunity, The operation “function of a function”. may be performed any number of times. For instance, the function y=In [sin («*+-1)] is obtained as a result of the following operations (defining the following functions) 1 vexttlu Let us now define an elementary function. y Definition 2. An elementary function is a function which may be represented by a single formula of the type y=f(x), where the expression on the right-hand side is made up of basic elementary func- x tions and constants by means of a finite oy 72 number of operations of addition, Fig, 20 subtraction, multiplication, division and taking the function of a funetion. From the’ definition it follows that elementary functions are functions represented analytically. Inu, sinv, Examples of elementary functions: logx-+4 7e+2tane oo VFR fii a etiam, and the Tike. Examples of non-elementary functions: [The function y=1-2-3...n(y=f (n)}_ is not elementary because the ‘number of operations that must be performed to oblain y increases with 2, that is to say, it is not bounded 2. The function given in Fig. 20 is not elementary ellher because it is represented by meals of two formulas Hocxel, 1, exe, SEC. 9, ALGEBRAIC FUNCTIONS Algebraic functions include elementary functions of the following kind: Algebraic Functions 2 1. The rational integral function, or polynomial y=ar" tar" ...44,, where a,, a, ...,d, are constants called coefficients, and n is a nonnegative’ integer called the degree of the polynomial. It is obvious that this function is defined for all values of x, that is, it is defined in an infinite interval, Examples: 1. ymax is a linear Yh as Yas Junction, When’ 60, the linear function ° n yar expresses a8 being ditecly pro- artionsl to x.

This function is defined as the ratio of two polynomials: on oe bays te YO BPE FO” For example, the following is a fractional rational function: w= it expresses inverse variation. Its graph is shown in Fig. 22. It is obvious that a fractional rational function is defined for all values of x with the exception yi of those for which the 00 denominator becomes zero. IMI. Irrational func- = tion. If in the formula y=f(x), operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division ® and raising to a power with rational non-inte- Fig. 22, gal exponents are per- formed on the right- hand side, the function y= f(x) is_called irrational. Examples y=Vi ete of irrational functions ar 8 Number. Variable. Function Note 1. The above-mentioned three types of ‘algebraic functions do not exhaust all algebraic functions. An algebraic function is any function y= f(x) which satisfies an equation of the form Prlx) yr +P, (xy +... +P, (2) = 0, QQ) where P,(x), P,(x), -.-» Py (2) are certain polynomials in x. It may be proved that tach of the enumerated three types of function satisfies a certain equation of type (1), but not every func- tion that satisfies an equation like (I) is a function of one of the three types given above. Note 2. A function which is not algebraic is called transcendental. Examples of transcendental functions are: y= Cos x; y= 10% and the like. SEC. 10. POLAR COORDINATE SYSTEM The position of a point ina plane may be determined by means of a so-called polar coordinate system. We choose a point O in a plane and call it the pole; the half- line issuing from this point is called the polar axis. The position of the point M in the plane may be specified by two numbers: the number @, which expresses the distance of M- from the pole, ‘and the number g, which is the angle formed it by the line segment OM and the polar axis, ° The positive direction of the angle @ is reckoned counterclockwise. The numbers @ 0 and @ are called the polar coordinates of the fe x point M (Fig. 23). We will always consider the radius vector Fig. 23. @ nonnegative.

Consequently, the variable x does not approach a In the definition of a limit it is stated that if the variable approaches the limit a, then a isa constant. But the word “appro- aches” is used also to describe another type of variation of a variable, as will be’ seen from the following definition. Definition 2. A variable x approaches ‘infinity if for every preassigned positive number M it is possible to indicate a value of x such that, beginning with this value, all subsequent values of the variable will satisty the inequality’ |.|>M, If the variable x approaches infinity, it is called an infinitely large variable and we write x— co. Example 3. The variable x takes on the values aeolian ‘This is an infinitely large variable quantity, since for an arbitrary M > 0 all Values of the variable, “beginaing ‘with s ceraia. one, "are, Ia absolute magnitude, greater than ‘©The variable x “approaches plus infinity’, x—-+0o, if for_an arbitrary M_>0 all subsequent values of the variable, beginning with a certain one, satisfy the inequality M -0, all subsequent values of the variable, beginning with 2 certain one, satisfy the inequality x<—M. For example, a variable x that assumes the values 2, ‘e approaches minus infinity SEC. 2, THE LIMIT OF A FUNCTION In this section we shall consider certain cases of the variation of a function when the argument x approaches a cerlain limit a ot infinity. Definition 1. Let the function y=/(x) be defined in a certain neighbourhood of the point a or at certain points of this neigh- bourhood. The function y= f(x) approaches the limit 6(y—>b) as x approaches a(x—ra), if for every positive number e, no matter how small, it is possible to indicate a positive number 8 such that for ail x, different from a and satisfying the inequality *) |x—a|<6, we have the inequality V@)—b], it may happen that the function is defined only for positive integral values of x." And so. in this case x—. a, ‘sssuming only positive integral values. We shall. not. specify this when i comes up later on. 2 36 Limit, Continuity of a Function that are not more distant fi the point a than 8, the points -M. of the graph of the function y=/(s) lie within a band of width 2¢ bounded by the lines y=b—e and y=b-+e. Note 1. We may define the limit of the function f(x) as x—a as follows. Let a variable x assume values such (that is, ordered in such fashion) that if |e—a|>|x"—al, then x** is the subsequent value and x* is the preceding value; but if |P—a|=|F*—a| and Pc then X* is the subsequent value and x* is the preceding value. In other words, of two points on a number scale, the subsequent one is that which is closer to the point a; at equal distances, the subsequent one is that which is to the right of the point a. Let a variable quantity + ordered in this fashion approach the limit alx—+a or lim: Let us further consider the variable y= f(x). We shall here and henceforward consider that of the two values of a function, the subsequent one is that which corresponds to the subsequent value of the argument. If, as x—+a, a variable y thus defined approaches a certain limit 6, we shall write and we shall say that the function y=f(x) approaches the limit b as xa. It is easy to prove that both definitions of the limit of a function are equivalent, Note 2. If f(x) approaches the limit 6, asx approaches a certain number a, so that x takes on only values less than a, we write lim f(x)=6, and call 6, the limit of the function f(x) on the left of the point a. If x takes Fig. 92 on only values greater than a, we write lim f(x)=6, and call 6, the limit of the function on the ‘right of the point @ (Fig. 32). it can be proved that if the limit'on the right and the limit on the left exist and are equal, that is, 6,=6,=6, then 6 will be The Limit of a Function a the limit in the sense of the foregoing definition of a limit at the point a. And conversely, if there exists a limit 6 of a function at the point c, then there exist limits of the function at the point a both on the’ right and on the left and they are equal Example 1. Let us prove that lim (@x-1)=7. Indeed, let an arbitrary. >0 be glven forthe inequality (Se —7| A the inequality |f(x)—6|N, where W is determined by the choice of e.

BOUNDED FUNCTIONS We have considered cases when the function f(x) approaches a certain limit 6 as x—+a oF as x-+ oo. Let us now take the case when the function y= f(x) approaches infinity when the argument varies in some way. A Function that Approaches Infinity. Bounded Functions 9 Definition 1, The function f(x) approaches infinity as x— a, ie, it is an’ infinitely large quantity as x--a, if for each positive number M, no matter how large, it is possible to find a 850 such that for all values of x different from a and satisfying the condition |z—a| <9, we have the inequality |f (x)|>M.

If [() approaches infinity as x—+ a and, in the process, assumes only positive or only negative values, the appropriate notation is, lim f(x)= + 08 or limf(x)=—co. Example 1.
