Relations & Functions - Notes

The document discusses relations and functions. It provides examples of expressing relations as tables, graphs and mapping diagrams. It defines the domain as the set of first coordinates (x-values) and the range as the set of second coordinates (y-values). A function is a special type of relation where each domain value is paired with exactly one range value. Examples are provided to identify whether a relation represents a function based on this one-to-one criterion.

4-2 Relations and Functions

Warm Up
Generate ordered pairs for the function
y = x + 3 for x = 2, 1, 0, 1, and 2.
Find the y values, and put them together as
an ordered pairs as (x,y)

The domain of a relation is the set


of first coordinates (or x-values) of
the ordered pairs.
The range of a relation is the set
of second coordinates (or y-values)
of the ordered pairs.

A function is a special type of relation
that pairs each domain value with
exactly one range value.
Notes:
If it is a function, then none of x
(domain) value should be repeated

Example 3A: Identifying Functions
Give the domain and range of the relation. Tell
whether the relation is a function. Explain.
{(3, 2), (5, 1), (4, 0), (3, 1)}

The relation is not a function. Each domain value


does not have exactly one range value.
The domain value 3 is repeated, paired with the
range values 2 and 1.
