Introduction

to Functions
Let’s put the FUN in FUNctions!
What is a relation?

Relation:

Domain:

Range:
Relations
Consider the relation: (4,2) (1,1) (3,-1) (0,5)
a.) Identify the domain and range

b.) Represent with a graph


Relations
What makes a relation a function?
Tell whether the relation is a function.
(a) x y
(b) x y
-2 2 -2 -2
0 3 1 3
1 -1 1 -1
3 -1 3 2
Determining Whether a Relation is a Function
Vertical Line Test:
Function Notation
The symbol f(x) reads as “f of x” or “function of x.” f(x)= is the same as
_______.

If f(x)=2x-3, find:

(a) f(7) (b) f(-2) (c) f(4)


Function Notation
Interval Notation
• Interval Notation – set of all numbers between 2 endpoints
• always represents an infinite set
• use infinity when there isn’t a true endpoint
• curved ( symbol means the end point is not in the set
• square [ symbol means the end point is in set
Interval Notations
Interval Notation
Domain and Range of Continuous Functions
A continuous function is when its graph is a single, unbroken curve. If
you can sketch the graph without ever picking up your pencil, it is
continuous.
Write the domain and range of the function in inequality notation and
interval notation.
Domain and Range of Continuous Functions
Write the domain and range of each function in both inequality and
interval notation.
