Functions and Continuity
Relations and Functions A relation can be represented as a set of ordered pairs or as an equation; the relation is then
the set of all ordered pairs (x, y) that make the equation true. A function is a relation in which each element of the domain
is paired with exactly one element of the range.

One-to-One
Each element of the domain pairs to exactly one unique element of the range.
Function

Onto Function Each element of the range corresponds to an element of the domain.

Both One-to- Each element of the domain is paired to exactly one element of the range, and
One and Onto each element of the range corresponds to an element of the domain.

Example: State the domain and range of the relation. x y


Does the relation represent a function? –1 –5
The domain is {–1, 0, 1, 2, 3} and range is {–5, –3, –1, 1, 3}. Each element of the 0 –3
domain corresponds with exactly one element of the range, so it is a function. 1 –1
2 1
3 3

Exercises
State the domain and range of each relation. Then determine whether each relation is a function. If it is a function,
determine if it is one-to-one, onto, both, or neither.

1. {(0.5, 3), (0.4, 2), (3.1, 1), (0.4, 0)} 2. {(–5, 2), (4, –2), (3, –11), (–7, 2)}

3. {(0.5, –3), (0.1, 12), (6, 8)} 4. {(–15, 12), (–14, 11), (–13, 10), (–12, 12)}

Functions and Continuity
Continuity A relation in which the domain is a set of individual elements is a discrete relation. When the domain of a
relation has an infinite number of elements and the relation can be graphed with a line or smooth curve, the relation is a
continuous relation.

To evaluate a function, or find a functional value, means to substitute a given value in the domain into the equation to find
the corresponding element in the range.
Example: Given f(x) = 𝒙𝟐 + 2x, find each value.
a. f(3)
f(x) = 𝑥 2 + 2x Original function
f(3) = 32 + 2(3) Substitute.
= 15 Simplify.
b. f(5a)
f(x) = 𝑥 2 + 2x Original function
f(5a) = (5𝑎)2 + 2(5a) Substitute.
2
= 25𝑎 + 10a Simplify.
Exercises
Graph each relation or equation and determine the domain and range. Determine whether the relation is a
function, is one–to–one, onto, both, or neither. Then state whether it is discrete or continuous.

1. y = 3 2. y = 𝑥 2 – 1 3. y = 3x + 2

Find each value if f(x) = –2x + 4.


4. f(12) 5. f(6) 6. f(2b)

Find each value if g(x) = x3 – x.


7. g(5) 8. g(–2) 9. g(7c)
