Q: What does H2 Maths Notes (JC 1-2): 1) Functions and Graphs cover?
A: Detailed guide to MOE Topic 1 -- functions, transformations, equations, and inequalities -- with worked examples and calculator workflows.
Before you begin\ Make sure your Additional Maths foundations are fresh (logarithms, surds, quadratic inequalities). Keep the graphing calculator (GC) in Exam Mode while you revise so keystrokes become automatic.

100 secondsA complete solution combines algebra, sketch, and GC evidence where allowed.Write the method before the final answer.

Concrete example: Before finding an inverse for a quadratic, restrict its domain so it is one-to-one. Without that restriction, the inverse is not a function.

Core ideas

  • A function maps each input in its domain to exactly one output in its range.
