1.1 Functions, Domain, and Range

Relation ‐ an identified pattern between two variables that may be represented

Function ‐ a relation in which each value of the independent variable (first

Vertical Line Test (VLT)‐ a method of determining whether a relation is a

Domain ‐ the set of first coordinates of the ordered pairs (independent, x‐values) in
a relation.

Range ‐ the set of second coordinates of the ordered pairs (dependent, y‐values) in
a relation.

Real Numbers ‐ a number in the set of all integers, terminating decimals, repeating
decimals, non‐terminating decimals, and non‐repeating decimals,
represented by the symbol .

Asymptote ‐ a line that a curve approaches more and more closely...

Ex 2 Determine the Domain and Range From Data

Determine the domain and range of each relation. Use the domain and range to
determine if the relation is a function.

a) {(‐3,4), (5,‐6), (‐2,7), (5,3), (6,‐8)}

b) The table shows the number of children of each age at a sports camps.

Ex 4 Determine the Domain and Range of an Area Function

Scott volunteers to help enclose a rectangular area for a dog run behind the
humane
society. The run is bordered on one side by the building wall. The society has 100 m
of fencing available.

a) Express the area function in terms of the width.

b) Determine the domain and range for the area function.
