Revision notes

Revise functions and graphs

Connect domains and ranges with inverse and composite functions, conics, graph transformations and graphical inequalities.

Key ideas

  1. Functions and admissible inputs

    Distinguish a stated domain from an expression’s natural restrictions and justify the complete range.

  2. Inverse and composite functions

    Choose inverse branches, exchange domain and range, and check the full intermediate set in a composition.

  3. Conics and rational graph features

    Derive coordinate restrictions, distinguish holes from asymptotes, and use equations to verify graph features.

  4. Graph transformations and reciprocals

    Map coordinates and intervals, distinguish absolute-value and reciprocal graphs, and retain parametric branches.

  5. Rational, absolute and graphical inequalities

    Track signs, exclusions and numerical boundaries, then check solutions against the original mathematical model.

What the syllabus asks

From the GCE A-Level H2 Mathematics 2027 syllabus

  • Include: function, domain and range; inverse and composite functions; conditions for existence of inverse and composite functions; restricting domain to obtain an inverse function; relationship between a one-to-one function and its inverse graphs. Exclude (fg)⁻¹ = g⁻¹f⁻¹ and restricting domain to obtain a composite function.
  • Include: graphing a given function with graphing calculator or graphing software; symmetry, intercepts, turning points and asymptotes for y² = ax, x² = by, x²/a² + y²/b² = 1, x²/a² − y²/b² = 1, y²/b² − x²/a² = 1, y = (ax + b)/(cx + d), y = (ax² + bx + c)/(dx + e); equations of asymptotes and axes of symmetry and restrictions on x and/or y; transformations af(x), f(x) + a, f(x + a), f(ax) and combinations; relating |f(x)|, f(|x|) and 1/f(x) to f(x); simple parametric equations and graphs.
  • Include: formulating equations, systems of linear equations or inequalities from a problem situation; solving equations exactly or approximately and systems of linear equations using a graphing calculator or graphing software; inequalities f(x)/g(x) > 0 with linear or quadratic expressions; |x| and |x − a| < b ⇔ a − b < x < a + b, |x − a| > b ⇔ x < a − b or x > a + b; solving inequalities graphically.
