Module 2 Function

1) This document covers functions and functional notation. It defines functions, discusses one-to-one and many-to-one functions with examples, and ways to express functions including set notation, tabular form, equations, graphs, and mappings. 2) Examples are provided to determine if a set represents a function based on one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-one correspondences. Function notation is introduced along with evaluating functions. 3) Increasing and decreasing intervals of functions are defined and examples are worked to find intervals of increase/decrease, intercepts, asymptotes, and sketch graphs of functions. Domain and range are defined and examples identify the domain and

Lesson 1:
FUNCTIONS AND FUNCTIONAL
NOTATION
3
OBJECTIVE:
• Define and evaluate function
• Determine the rage and domain of a given
function
• Know the different kinds of functions and
their characteristics
DEFINITION: FUNCTION 4

• a special relation such that every first element is paired

to a unique second element.

• a set of ordered pairs with no two pairs having the

same first element.

• a correspondence from a set X of real numbers x to a

set Y of real numbers y, where the number y is unique
for a specific value of x.
Functions
One-to-one and many-to-one functions 5
Consider the following graphs

y = x +1
3 y = sin x 

and

Each value of x maps to only one Each value of x maps to only one value
value of y ... of y ...
and each y is mapped from only BUT many other x values map to that y.
one x.
Functions
One-to-one and many-to-one functions 6
Consider the following graphs

and

𝒚𝒚 = 𝒙𝒙𝟑𝟑 + 𝟏𝟏 𝒚𝒚 = sin 𝒙𝒙
is an example of a one-to-one is an example of a many-to-one
correspondence function correspondence function

One-to-many is NOT a function. It is just a relation. Thus a function is a

relation but a relation could never be a function.
7

In order to have a function, there must be one value of the

dependent variable (y) for each value of the independent variable (x).
Or, there could also be two or more independent variables (x) for
every dependent variable (y). These correspondences are called one-
to-one correspondence and many-to-one correspondence,
respectively. Therefore, a function is a set of ordered pairs of numbers
(x, y) in which no two distinct ordered pairs have the same first
number.
Ways of Expressing a function: 8

 Set notation
 Tabular form
 Equation
 Graph
 Mapping
Example: Express the function y = 2x; x= 0,1,2,3 in 9
.

5 ways.

1. Set notation
a) S = { ( 0, 0) , ( 1, 2 ) , ( 2, 4 ), ( 3, 6) }
b) S = { (x , y) such that y = 2x, x = 0, 1, 2, 3 }
c) S = 𝑥𝑥, 𝑦𝑦 𝑦𝑦 = 2𝑥𝑥 𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 𝑥𝑥 = 0,1,2,3

2. Tabular form

x 0 1 2 3
y 0 2 4 6
3. Equation:y = 2x 10

EXAMPLE:
Determine whether or not each of the following sets 11
represents a function:

1. A = {(-1, -1), (10, 0), (2, -3), (-4, -1)}

2. B = {(2, a), (2, -a), (2, 2a), (3, a2)}
3. C = {(a, b)| a and b are integers and a = b2}
4. D = {(a, b)| a and b are positive integers and a = b2}
5. E = {(x,y)| y 2 = x − 4}
SOLUTIONS: 12

1. A is a function.
There are more than one element as the first component of the
ordered pair with the same second component namely (-1, -1)
and (-4, -1), called a many-to-one correspondence. One-to-
many correspondence is a not function but many-to-one
correspondence is a function.

2. B is a not a function.
There exists one-to-many correspondence namely, (2, a),
(2, -a) and (2, 2a).
SOLUTIONS: 13

3. C is not a function.
There exists a one-to-many correspondence in C such as (1,
1) and (1, -1), (4, 2) and (4, -2), (9, 3) and (9, -3), etc.
4. D is a function.
The ordered pairs with negative values in solution c above are
no longer elements of C since a and b are given as positive
integers. Therefore, one-to- many correspondence does not exist
anymore in set D.
SOLUTIONS:

5. E is not a function
Because for every value of x, y will have two values.

OTHER EXAMPLES:
Determine whether or not each of the following sets
represents a function:

a) S = { ( 4, 7 ), ( 5, 8 ), ( 6, 9 ), ( 7, 10 ), ( 8, 11 ) }
b) S = { ( x , y ) s. t. y = | x | and x ∈ R }
c) y = x2 − 5
d) y= x
2x
e) y= x+2

f) y= x+1
DEFINITION: FUNCTION NOTATION

• Letters like f , g , h, F,G,H and the likes are used to

designate functions.

• When we use f as a function, then for each x in the

domain of f , f ( x ) denotes the image of x under f .

• The notation f ( x ) is read as “ f of x ”.

f (x) = 2x 2 − 3x + 6
Remember---this tells you what is on the
right hand side---it is not something you
work. It says that the right hand side is

f (2) = 2(2) − 3(2)+ 6

the function f and it has x in it.
2

f (2) = 2(4)− 3(2)+ 6 = 8 − 6 + 6 = 8

So we have a function called f that has the variable x in it.
Using function notation we could then ask the following:
Find 𝑓𝑓 2 . This means to find the function 𝑓𝑓 and instead of
having an 𝑥𝑥 in it, replace it with 2. So let’s take
the function above and make brackets everywhere
the x was and in its place, put in a 2.
Example: Consider

𝑓𝑓 𝑥𝑥 = 2𝑥𝑥 2 − 3𝑥𝑥 + 6
Find 𝑓𝑓 −2

Find 𝑓𝑓 𝑘𝑘 + 1
Example: Consider
𝑔𝑔 𝑥𝑥 = 𝑥𝑥 2 − 2𝑥𝑥

Definition

Let 𝑓𝑓: 𝐴𝐴 → 𝐵𝐵, all the possible values of x is called the domain and all the
possible values of y is called the range. In a set of ordered pairs, the set of
first elements and second elements of ordered pairs is the domain and
range, respectively.
