Constant function

In mathematics, a constant function is a function whose (output) value is the same for every input value. For example, the function y(x) = 4 is a constant function because the value of  y(x)  is 4 regardless of the input value x (see image).
==Basic properties==
As a real-valued function of a real-valued argument, a constant function has the general form  y(x)=c  or just  y=c  .
:Example: The function  y(x)=2  or just  y=2  is the specific constant function where the output value is  c=2. The domain of this function is the set of all real numbers ℝ. The codomain of this function is just . The independent variable ''x'' does not appear on the right side of the function expression and so its value is "vacuously substituted". Namely ''y''(0)=2, ''y''(−2.7)=2, ''y''(π)=2,.... No matter what value of ''x'' is input, the output is "2".
:Real-world example: A store where every item is sold for the price of 1 euro.
The graph of the constant function y=c is a horizontal line in the plane that passes through the point (0,c).
In the context of a polynomial in one variable ''x'', the non-zero constant function is a polynomial of degree 0 and its general form is f(x) = c \, ,\,\, c \neq 0 . This function has no intersection point with the ''x''-axis, that is, it has no root (zero). On the other hand, the polynomial  f(x)=0  is the identically zero function. It is the (trivial) constant function and every ''x'' is a root. Its graph is the ''x''-axis in the plane.
A constant function is an even function, i.e. the graph of a constant function is symmetric with respect to the ''y''-axis.
In the context where it is defined, the derivative of a function is a measure of the rate of change of function values with respect to change in input values. Because a constant function does not change, its derivative is 0. This is often written:  (c)'=0 . The converse is also true. Namely, if ''y'''(''x'')=0 for all real numbers ''x'', then ''y''(''x'') is a constant function.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zero Derivative implies Constant Function )
:Example: Given the constant function   y(x)=-\sqrt  . The derivative of ''y'' is the identically zero function   y'(x)=(-\sqrt)'=0  .
