===Algebraic functions===
[[Algebraic function]]s are functions that can be expressed as the solution of a polynomial equation with integer coefficients.
* [[Polynomial]]s: Can be generated solely by addition, multiplication, and raising to the power of a positive integer.
** [[Constant function]]: polynomial of degree zero, graph is a horizontal straight line
** [[Linear function]]: First degree polynomial, graph is a straight line.
** [[Quadratic function]]: Second degree polynomial, graph is a [[parabola]].
** [[Cubic function]]: Third degree polynomial.
** [[Quartic function]]: Fourth degree polynomial.
** [[Quintic function]]: Fifth degree polynomial.
* [[Rational function]]s: A ratio of two polynomials.
* [[nth root|''n''th root]]
** [[Square root]]: Yields a number whose square is the given one.
** [[Cube root]]: Yields a number whose cube is the given one.
