E.g. $y=2^x, y=e^x$. * **Logarithmic Function:** The functions $f(x)=\log a^x$ and $f(x)=\log e^x$ are called general and natural logarithmic function respectively. * **Explicit Function:** If $y$ is easily expressed in term of $x$ then $y$ is called an explicit function. E.g. $y=x^2+3 x, y=\sqrt{x^2+1}$. * **Implicit Function:** If $y$ is not expressed in term of $x$ then $y$ is called an implicit function. E.g. $x^2+x y+y^2=4$. * **Even Function:** A function $f(x)$ is said to be an even function if $f(-x)=f(x)$. * **Odd Function:** A function $f(x)$ is said to be an odd function if $f(-x)=-f(x)$. * **Parametric Function:** A function in which x and y are expressed as functions of a third variable is called parametric function. * **Inverse Function:** Let $f(x)$ be a bijective function from A to B then its inverse is $f^{-1}(x)$ which is onto function from B to A . * **Limit Of A Function:** Let $f(x)$ be a function if the value of $f(x)$ tend to a fixed number " L " as $x$ tends to $a$ then " L " is called limit of $f(x)$ as $x$ tends to $a$. It is written as $\lim f(x)=L$. * **Decision Variable:** The variable used in system of linear inequalities relating with the problem are called decision variable. * **Feasible Region:** The solution region of an inequality restricted to first quadrant is called feasible region. * **Feasible Solution:** Each point of feasible region is called feasible solution of system of linear inequality. * **Feasible Solution Set:** Set of all feasible solution of the system of linear inequality is called feasible solution set. * **Linear Programming:** Mathematical techniques in which we get maximize or minimize value of variables of linear function is called linear programming. * **Nappes:** Two parts of cone are called nappes. * **Circle:** “A set of all points in a plane which are equidistant from a fixed point is called circle.” The fixed point is called centre and fixed distance is called radius of circle. * **Point Circle:** A circle whose radius is zero is called point circle. * **Parabola:** “A set of all points in a plane which are equidistant from fixed point and fixed line.” The fixed point is called focus and fixed line is called directrix of parabola. * **{{ :fsc-part1-ptb:math-12-ptb-definitions-muzzammil-subhan.pdf |Download PDF}}** * View PDF {{gview noreference>:fsc-part1-ptb:math-12-ptb-definitions-muzzammil-subhan.pdf}} {{tag>Math-12-PTB Definitions Muzzammil_Subhan}}
