FUNCTIONS AND RELATIONS

 RELATIONS
 A relation is a rule that relates values from a set of values (called the
domain) to a second set of values (called the range).

 FUNCTION
 Is a relation where each element in the domain is related to only
one value in the range by some rule.

ALL FUNCTIONS ARE RELATIONS, BUT NOT ALL RELATIONS


ARE FUNCTIONS.
FUNCTION

DOMAIN RANGE
DOMAIN AND RANGE

DOMAIN
The domain of a function is the complete set of
possible values of the independent variable (usually
x).

RANGE
The range of the function is the complete set of all
possible resulting values of the dependent variable
(usually y), after we have substituted the domain.
Representations of Functions and Relations
Identifying Domain and Range

Identify the domain and range


{(2, -3),(4,6),(3,-1),(6,6),(2,3)}

Domain: {2,3,4,6}
Range :{−3, −1,3,6}

REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF FUNCTIONS

 1. For each donut in a store, there is only one corresponding price.


 2. For each car in the country, there is only one corresponding plate
number.
 3. For each person, there is only one corresponding age at any given time.
PIECE-WISE FUNCTION

A piece-wise function is one which is defined not by a single equation, but by


a two or more. Each equation is valid for some interval.
For example, a piece-wise function is given by
PIECE-WISE FUNCTION

 EXAMPLE 6. A jeepney ride cost P9.00 for the first 4 kilometers, and each
additional integer kilometer adds P1.50 to the fare. Use piecewise function to
represent the jeepney fare in terms of distance (d) kilometers.

 EXAMPLE 7. A user is charged P300 monthly for a particular mobile plan, which
includes 500 free text messages. Messages in excess of 500 are charged P1
each. Represent the monthly cost for text messaging using the function C(x),
where x is the number of messages sent in month.
PIECE-WISE FUNCTION

 EXAMPLE 8. Write the equation for the piecewise function whose graph is
shown.
