Relations and Functions
Function
a function is a rule or relationship that
assigns a unique element from one set
(called the codomain) to each element of
another set (called the domain).
Function
for every input in the domain, there is only
one possible output in the codomain;
essentially, it's a special type of relation
where each element in the domain is
paired with exactly one element in the
codomain.
Function
denoted by f(x).
examples
f(x)= 3x+2 f(x)=
f(x)=
Domain
the domain of a function is the set of
values that we are allowed to plug into our
function.
This set is the x values in a function such as
f(x).
Range
The rangle of a function is the set of values
that the function assumes. This set is the
values that the function shoots out after we
plug an x value in. They are the y values.
Example
f(x)= x+4
x -2 -1 0 1 2
f(x)=
x+4
2 3 4 5 6
Example
f(x)= x+4
Limits in Domain
The following are what made this limits exist:
1. If x is zero
2. If x is negative square roots
3. If x is negative logs
Ways to Write Domain
and Range of a
Function
1. Interval Notation- Interval notation used
parenthesis or brackets to imply where the
function is defined.
ex. D: (-∞, ∞)
R: (-∞, ∞)
2. Set notation- uses sets to say explicitly
where the function is or isn’t defined.
1. f(x)=
2. f(x)= √3x+4
