You can evaluate functions at points. For example, my pay is a function of how many hours I work. At 5 hours I can evaluate the result.
You find the average rate of change of the function. That gives you the derivative on different points of the graph.
Typically, functions are graphed on x-y coordinates. A function of x means that for every x point, there must be a single y point. You can also many properties by graphing a function, such as the minimum and maximum points, slopes and inflection points, and the inverse of the function (y values plotted on x coordinate, and x values on y coordinate).
Such functions are defined as one polynomial divided by another polynomial. Their properties include that they are defined at all points, except when the denominator is zero. Also, such functions are continuous at all points where they are defined; and all their derivatives exist at any point where they are defined.For more details, I suggest you read the Wikipedia article - or some other source - on "Rational function".
A rational function is the ratio of two polynomial functions. The function that is the denominator will have roots (or zeros) in the complex field and may have real roots. If it has real roots, then evaluating the rational function at such points will require division by zero. This is not defined. Since polynomials are continuous functions, their value will be close to zero near their roots. So, near a zero, the rational function will entail division by a very small quantity and this will result in the asymptotic behaviour.
If you want to compose two functions, you need the range of the first function to have points in common with the _____ of the second function.
range
a function whose magnitude depends on the path followed by the function and on the end points.
There are no points of discontinuity for exponential functions since the domain of the general exponential function consists of all real values!

g(-3) and g(5) are not functions but the values of the function g(x) at the points x = -3 and x = 5.

A linear function is called "linear" because it represents a straight line. To graph a linear function, find two points that satisify that function, plot them, and then draw a straight line between them.
A correlation function is the correlation between random variables at two different points in space or time, usually as a function of the spatial or temporal distance between the points. If one considers the correlation function between random variables representing the same quantity measured at two different points then this is often referred to as an autocorrelation function being made up of autocorrelations. Correlation functions of different random variables are sometimes called cross correlation functions to emphasise that different variables are being considered and because they are made up of cross correlations.Correlation functions are a useful indicator of dependencies as a function of distance in time or space, and they can be used to assess the distance required between sample points for the values to be effectively uncorrelated. In addition, they can form the basis of rules for interpolating values at points for which there are observations.Correlation functions used in astronomy, financial analysis, and statistical mechanics differ only in the particular stochastic processes they are applied to. In quantum field theory there are correlation functions over quantum distributions.
