Definition

An absolute value function is a function that contains an algebraic expression within absolute value symbols. It is defined as 

$$ f(x) = |x| $$

where |x| denotes the absolute value ofx.

Description

The absolute value function is significant in mathematics because it measures the distance of a number from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. This function is linear in nature, as it can be broken into two linear pieces: one for 

$$ x \geq 0 $$

 and one for 

$$ x < 0 $$

Functions and Relations

Definition

A composite function is a function that is formed when one function is applied to the result of another function.

Description

Composite functions are significant in mathematics because they allow the combination of two functions to form a new function. This is denoted as (f∘g)(x) = f(g(x)). Composite functions are widely used in various fields, including computer science for function composition in programming and in calculus for chain rule applications. For example, if f(x) = 2x and g(x) = x + 3, then the composite function 

(f∘g)(x) = f(g(x)) = 2(x + 3) = 2x+6

Definition

Conic sections are the curves obtained by intersecting a plane with a double-napped cone.

Description

Conic sections include circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas, which are fundamental in the study of geometry and algebra. These shapes are described by quadratic equations and have numerous applications in physics, engineering, and astronomy. For example, the orbits of planets are ellipses, and parabolic mirrors are used in telescopes and satellite dishes. The general quadratic equation for conic sections is 

Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
