Functions
Any relationship which maps one element in set A to one and only one elemet in set B is
said to be a function.
Mapping : 0ne-one & many-one are functions
Graph : vertical line test (domain cuts the graph at exactly one point, then f is a function
Example:
The domain is the set of all first elements of ordered pairs (x-coordinates).
Maximal domain : Largest possible domain
Example: 1)f(x) = x 2 domain is (x : x R}
2)f(x) =
x+3
domain is {x : x R, x -3}
The range is the set of all second elements of ordered pairs (y-coordinates).
Example : 1) f(x) = 2x 3, x0 for x0, y-3 hence, range of f is {y : y -3} or [-3,
Example 1:
Example 2:
Domain: {1, 3, 4, 6}
Range: {-2, 2, 5}
Domain:
