There are two types of functions: linear and nonlinear. Linear functions can be represented by straight lines on a coordinate plane. A linear function has an equation that can be written in the form of y = m x + b. Equations whose graphs are not straight lines are called nonlinear functions. Nonlinear Functions Set Theory A set is a collection of individual objects. Set theory helps us organize things into groups and to understand logic. Subset Definition Notation Example Venn Diagram Set A is a subset of set B if all the elements of set A are in set B. A B A B A B A = {apple, orange} B = {apple, orange, pear, banana} A B All the elements of A are in B. Intersection Definition Notation Example Venn Diagram The intersection of sets A and B consists of only elements which belong to both sets A and B. A B A = {apple, orange, plum} B = {pear, banana, apple} A B = {apple} Apple is the only fruit in both sets. The union of sets A and B consists of all elements which belong to either set A or set B. A B A = {apple, orange, plum} B = {pear, banana, apple} A B = {apple, orange, plum, pear, banana} All the elements in both sets are included.
