An absolute mean is a mean of the absolute magnitude of a function with both positive and negative values.
false!
The positive regions of a function are those intervals where the function is above the x-axis. It is where the y-values are positive (not zero). The negative regions of a function are those intervals where the function is below the x-axis. It is where the y-values are negative (not zero).
y² = x --> y = ±√x Because there are *two* square roots for any positive number (positive and negative) this will not be a function.
A function is positive on an interval, say, the interval from x=a to x=b, if algebraically, all the y-coordinate values are positive on this interval; and graphically, the entire curve or line lies above the x-axis.on this interval.

A linear function is increasing if it has a positive slope. To find this easily, put the function into the form y=mx+b. If m is positive, the function is increasing. If m is negative, it is decreasing.

No, because the inverse function would not work. Every time you multiply a positive by a positive you get a positive.
All the output values of a function are collectively called the "range" of that function. For example, consider the function x2. Any number squared will give a positive. Thus, the "range" of the function is positive numbers.
The logarithmic function is not defined for zero or negative numbers. Logarithms are the inverse of the exponential function for a positive base. Any exponent of a positive base must be positive. So the range of any exponential function is the positive real line. Consequently the domain of the the inverse function - the logarithm - is the positive real line. That is, logarithms are not defined for zero or negative numbers. (Wait until you get to complex analysis, though!)
An arithmetic function is any function which is defined for all positive integers, and has values which are either real or complex.
