A function is a set of
ordered pairs (x,y) such
that no two distinct
members have the same
first element.

(Vertical Line Test)
A graph is a function if any vertical line
drawn passing through the graph
intersects the graph at exactly one point.

Given a table of values of x and y, how
would you express the rule to describe
the correspondence between the two
variables?
In the table above, every value of x
corresponds to a unique value of y. Since y is
the dependent variable, then y can be
expressed as a function of x, which in this
ex. is y = 4x+1 or f(x) = 4x+1.
Characteristics of a function:
• Each element in set X must be matched with an
element of set Y.
• Some elements in set Y may not be matched
with any element in set X.
•Two or more elements of set X may be matched
with the same elements of set Y.
• An element in set X cannot be matched with
two different elements in set Y.
Try this!
Using the given variables, translate the
following statements into functional
notations.
a. The pressure (P) inside a pressure
cooker is dependent on the
temperature T.
f(T) = P
b. The price per unit C of a
commodity is dependent on the
number of units u demanded by
a consumer.
f(u) = C
c. Give a function C that can
represent the cost of buying x
meals, if one meal costs P40.
Since each meal costs P 40,
then the cost function is
C(x) = 40x
d. A courier company charges P100 per
package weighing 2 kg or less. They
charge P15 for each additional kilogram or
fraction of a kilogram up to 5 kg. Write a
piecewise function that gives the cost C
for shipping a package weighing k
kilograms.
Piecewise function
A function which consists
of a set of different intervals of
x to define y.
Assignment:
A. Which of the following represents a function?
1. y = 2x + 1
2. y = x2 – 2x + 2
3. x2 + y 2 = 1
B. Provide a real-world scenario that can be
modelled by a linear function.
