INTRODUCTION
The set of inputs to a function is called its domain. We often infer the domain
to be all inputs for which the expression defining a function has a value, or for
which the function makes sense in a given context.
We will see many ways to think about functions, but there are always three
main parts: The input, The relationship, and The output
FUNCTION
First, it is useful to give a function a name.
The most common name is "f", but we can have other names like "g" ... or even
"marmalade" if we want.

f(x) = x2 shows us that function "f" takes "x" and squares it.
an input of 4
becomes an output of 16.
In fact, we can write f(4) = 16.
Don't get too concerned about "x", it is just there to show us where the input
goes and what happens to it. It could be anything!
f(q) = 1 - q + q2
h(A) = 1 - A + A2
w(θ) = 1 - θ + θ
The variable (x, q, A, etc) is just there so we know where to put the values:
f(2) = 1 - 2 + 22 = 3
Example: this tree grows 20 cm every year, so the height of the tree is related to
its age using the function h:
h(age) = age × 20
h(10) = 10 × 20 = 200 cm
2. "...exactly one..." means that a function is single valued. It will not give back 2
or more results for the same input.
(one-to-many) (many-to-one)
This is NOT OK in a function But this is OK in a function
When a relationship does not follow those two rules then it is not a
function ... it is still a relationship, just not a function.
Ordered Pairs
And here is another way to think about functions:
Write the input and output of a function as an "ordered pair", such as (4,16).
They are called ordered pairs because the input always comes first, and the output
second:
(input, output)
( x, f(x) )
Example:
(4,16) means that the function takes in "4" and gives out "16"
"2 is related to 4", "3 is related to 5" and "7 is related 3".
say "if it contains (a, b) and (a, c), then b must equal
c"
Which is just a way of saying that an input of "a" cannot produce two different
results.
Example: {(2,4), (2,5), (7,3)} is not a function because {2,4} and {2,5}
means that 2 could be related to 4 or 5.
EQUATION
Equation is an equation says that two things are equal.
7 + 2 = 10 − 1
That equation says: what is on the left (7 + 2) is equal to what is on the right (10
− 1)
The Addition Property for Equations states that the same number
can be added to or subtracted from each side of the equation without changing
the solution to the equation.
Example 1:
Solution:
-15 = 48 + k
-48 -48

The solution to is .
Example 1:
Solution:
Example 2:
Solve for f:
Solution:
Isolate the f-term by multiplying each side of the equation by the reciprocal of its
Multiply the fractions on the left side of the equation. On the right side of the
equation, the constants cancel to leave a coefficient of 1.
The solution to is .
x - 4 = 10
x = 14
The answer is x = 14
Check the solution by substituting 14 in the original equation for x. If the left
side of the equation equals the right side of the equation after the
substitution, you have found the correct answer.
The answer is x = 4.
Check the solution by substituting 4 in the original equation for x. If the left side of
the equation equals the right side of the equation after the substitution, you have
found the correct answer.
Example 3:
First make a note of the fact that you cannot take the square root of a negative
number. Therefore, or .
Square both sides of the equation.
Check the solution by substituting 17 in the original equation for x. If the left side
of the equation equals the right side of the equation after the substitution, you
have found the correct answer.
