situations.

RELATIONS FUNCTIONS
Example of Relations
1. {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 8)}
2. {(4, 2), (4, -2), (9, 3), (9,3)}
3. {(1, a), (1, b), (1, c), (1,d)}
FUNCTIONS
A function is a relation in which each
element of the domain corresponds to
exactly one element of the range.
Examples of Functions
1. {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 8)}
2. {(2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5,1)}
DOMAIN AND RANGE
If f is a function from x to y, we define
the domain of the function f as the set
of all possible values of x and the range
as the set of all possible values of y.
Examples of Functions
1. {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 8)}
2. {(2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5,1)}
• Variable x is called independent
variable
• Variable y is called dependent
variable (one to be computed based
on the value of x)
• For convenience, we use f(x) instead
of y.
• The ordered pair in new notation
becomes:
• (x, y) = (x, f(x))
FUNCTION RULE:
There is no common
element existing on the
first coordinate.
REMEMBER:
{(1, 0), (1,1), (1, 2), (1, -2)}
