Here is a list of the functions to be investigated:

  1. linear function f(x) = x
  2. squaring function f(x) = x2
  3. cubing function f(x) = x3
  4. absolute value function f(x) = |x|
  5. square root function f(x) = sqrt(x)
  6. cube root function f(x) = cubeRoot(x)
  7. natural exponential function f(x) = ex
  8. natural logarithmic function f(x) = ln(x)
