Function
s
Definition
- A set of
ordered
pairs.
- The
domain of a
relation is the Relatio
set of
first n
coordinates.
- The range is
Definitio
n
are inputs,
domain,
x- independe
values nt variable
are
outputs,
range, y-
dependen
values
t variable
Example of relation
{(0, -5) , (1, -4) , (2, -3), (3, -2) ,
(4, -1), (5, 0)}
{(1, 5),(4, -4),
(6, -3)
Example 1:
What makes this a
relation?
{(0, 5), (1, 4), ( 2, 3), ( 3, 2), (4, 1), (5, 0)}
• What is the domain?
{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
What is the range?
{-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}
Unit 4 - Relations and 5
Functions
Example 2 –
Is this a relation?
Input 4 –5 0 9 –1
Output –2 7
• What is the domain?
{4, -5, 0, 9, -1}
• What is the range?
{-2, 7}
Unit 4 - Relations and
Functions
Identifying domain and
range
{(0,5),(1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1),
(5,0)}
What are the domain?
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
What are the range?
Definition
- a
SPECIAL
RELATION
in
which each
element of the
domain
Functio
corresponds to
exactly one
n
element of the
Characterist 1. Each
ics of element in
Functions domain X
must be
matched with
exactly one
element in
range Y.
Characterist
ics of 2. Some
Functions elements in Y
may not be
matched
with any
element in X.
Characterist
3. Two or
ics of
Functions more
elements in
X
may be
matched with
the same
element in Y.
A function
can be
1. Table
represented
in different of
ways. Values
2. Ordered
Pairs
3. Mapping
4. Graph
5. An
equation

Let’s look at another relation and decide if it is a function.

This is a function ---it
meets our conditions Must use all the x’s
The x value can only be assigned to one y

Is the relation shown above a function? Why not???
NO

Check this relation out to determine if it is a
function.

Set A is the domain Set B is the range
This is not a function--- it
doesn’t assign each x
