Relation: Relations, Functions, and Graphs

The document discusses the concepts of relations, functions, and graphs. It defines a function as a relation where each x-value has only one y-value. The document then provides examples of different types of functions, such as one-to-one functions, many-to-one functions, and piecewise-defined functions, illustrating their properties and notation.

The Theory of Functions

Relations, Functions, and Graphs


A relation can be written as a list of ordered pairs. An
example of relations might link a person to their age.
(John, 7)
(Paul, 32)
(Kris, 29)

Plot the relation (0,1)


(0,4) (1,2) (2,2) on a
graph.

𝑓 𝑥 ={
− 𝑥 − 2 2 ,𝑥 < 3

a) Find 𝑓 −1 , 𝑓 0 , 𝑓 3 , 𝑓(5)

b) Sketch 𝑓 𝑥 .

c) Write down the domain and range of 𝑓.

𝑥=1 𝑥=2

𝑥>1 𝑥<2
𝑓 𝑥 =2 𝑓 𝑥 =2
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is not continuous at x = 1 ∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at x = 2
