Gen Math Definitions and Notes

The document covers the concepts of relations and functions, defining relations as sets of ordered pairs and explaining different types such as one-to-one, many-to-one, and many-to-many. It also discusses functions, emphasizing that all functions are relations but not all relations are functions, and introduces operations on functions including sum, difference, product, quotient, and composition. Additionally, it addresses rational equations and inequalities, outlining methods for solving them.

Relation and Function

RELATION

• is any set of ordered pairs

Parts of Ordered Pair

DOMAIN/x-coordinate - set of all first coordinates of the ordered pairs.

RANGE/y-coordinate - set of all second coordinates of the ordered pairs.

Different ways to represent Relation

1. Set of ordered pairs


2. Table
3. Mapping/Arrow Diagram
4. Graphs

Different kinds of Relation

One-to-One Relation

• The domain is paired with one and only range.


Many-to-One Relation

• More than one domain are associated with one range


One-to-Many Relation

• Domain is matched with more than one range

Many-to-Many Relation

• more than one domain are paired with more than one range

A relation in which no two pairs in a set of ordered pairs have the same domain.

Function is a relationship between two variables such that every input corresponds to one output.

• All functions are relations, but not all relations are functions.
• Only relations that are in one-to-one and many-to-many are correspondence are functions.

Vertical Line Test

- Intersect a graph at exactly one point


EVALUATING FUNCTION

- means substituting the value of x in f(x) on the given function


Piecewise Function

- A piecewise function is a function that is defined by two or more equations where each
equations applies to a certain interval over a specified domain.

Operation on Function
-When a fundamental operation is applied to two or more given functions, a new function can be
formed.

Sum and Difference of Functions

-If f and g are functions with domains 𝐷𝑓 and 𝐷𝑔, respectively, their sum is the function defined as;

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

Product of Functions
- If f and g are functions with domains 𝐷𝑓 and 𝐷𝑔, respectively, their product is the function defined by;

(f . g)(x) = f(x) . g(x), the domain of (f . g)(x) is 𝑫𝒇 ∩𝑫g

Quotient of Functions
-If f and g are functions with domain 𝐷𝑓 and 𝐷𝑔, respectively, excluding the values of 𝐷𝑔 that will make
g(x) zero, then, their quotient is the function defined as (𝒇/𝒈) (x) = 𝒇(𝒙)/𝒈(𝒙)

Note:

• Rational expression is considered as undefined if the denominator is ZERO.

• You can find the preventing value in the equation by finding the excluded value.

Composition of Functions

-If f and g are functions with domains 𝐷𝑓 and 𝐷𝑔 the composite function f and g is defined as

(𝒇 𝑜 𝒈)(x) = 𝒇[𝒈(𝒙)]
Rational Equations and Functions
RATIONAL EQUATIONS

•An equation that contains rational expressions is referred to as rational equation.

•In solving rational equations, multiply each term of the equation by the least common denominator
(LCD). Then, solve the resulting equations.

RATIONAL INEQUALITIES

An inequality that contains rational expressions is referred to as rational inequality.

• Rational Inequalities are easier to solve if their denominators are eliminated

• Remember that the sense of an inequality is unchanged if the same real number is added to, or
subtracted from both sides of the given inequality.
• Moreover, the sense of an inequality remains both sides of the inequality are multiplied by, or divided
by the same positive real number.

• But the sense of an inequality is reversed if both side of the inequality are multiplied by, or divided by
the same given negative real number.
