Whats a Function?

A relation in math is a group of ordered pairs. A function is a relation in which no two ordered pairs have the same x-value.

Whats a Function?
A function is a relation in which no two ordered pairs have the same x-value. (3,2) , (4,5) , (6,-1) , (0,2) is a function because all the x-values are different

Whats NOT a Function?


A function is a relation in which no two ordered pairs have the same x-value. (-3,2) , (4,5) , (6,-1) , (4,2) is NOT a function.

Function Notation
(x,y) is a solution of y = 3x + 2. Read as f of x (x, f(x)) is a solution of f(x) = 3x + 2. In other words f(x) is the same thing as y.

Function Notation

If x = 1 and f(x) = 3x + 2, then: f(1) = 3(1) + 2 f(1) = 3 + 2 f(1) = 5

Function Notation

If x = 2 and f(x) = 3x + 2, then: f(2) = 3(2) + 2 f(2) = 6 + 2 f(2) = 8

Function Notation

If x = 5 and f(x) = 3x + 2, then: f(5) = 3(5) + 2 Your Turn f(5) = 15 + 2 f(5) = 17

Function Notation

If x = 1 and 2 + 2x - 1 f(x) = 3x 2 + 2(1) - 1 f(1) = 3(1) f(1) = 3 + 2 - 1 f(1) = 4

Function Notation

If x = 2 and 2 + 2x - 1 f(x) = 3x 2 + 2(2) - 1 f(2) = 3(2) Your Turn f(2) = 12 + 4 - 1 f(2) = 15
