Algebraic functions Grade 10


Every aspect of our life depends on one or more other aspects.

 Our mass depends on our diet


 Our success depends on our diligence
 Our level of fitness depends on our exercise routine
 In Physics, the distance a body travels in a fixed time depends on its speed.

 In Mathematics one variable depends on the other variable. ,y depends on x , eg: 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 1


We can choose some values of x, and tabulate them: Complete the table for 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 1

x -3 -2 0 1 4

The input values (the x values) are called the DOMAIN or independent variable . 𝑥 ∈
{… … ; … … ; … … ; … … ; … … }
The output values, (the y values) are called the RANGE, or dependant variable 𝑦 ∈
{… … ; … … ; … … ; … … ; … … }
We can represent relationships in different ways.

1. TABLES AND RULES

x -2 -1 0 1 2

y = -x +2

2. ORDERED PAIRS

( -2 ; …….) ( -1 ; …….) ( 0 ; …….) ( 1 ; …….) ( 2 ; …….)

3. GRAPHICALLY

4. USING FUNCTIONAL NOTATION

𝑓(𝑥) = −𝑥 + 2

This means find the function value when This means find the value of x when the
x = 2 ; or when x = - 1 function value is 6
