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.
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!)
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.
sqrt(3 x 4) = 3.464 Note that the square root function would normally return two values, in this case +/- 3.464. For the geometric mean of two positive numbers, we just want the positive root, hence +3.464.
