Extra exercises, UNIT 9 (4)

1.1 Function

One of the most important ideas in


mathematics is the ability to notice and
describe relationships. In this section, we
discuss how math can be used to define
relationships between different numbers
using what are called relations and
functions.

1.2 Different Ways of Representing Functions


1. Mappings
2. Ordered Pairs
3. Tables
4. Graphs
1. Representing Functions with Mappings

One important rule to remember about a


function is that it can only assign ONE output
value to an input value. The set of all input apples
values is called the domain and the set of all
output values is called the range. banana

Remember, a function can only assign one


output value to an input value. Here's an apples
example of a mapping that does NOT
banana
represent a function:
grapes

Let's look at a mapping diagram that uses


numbers. Let's say our function takes an input
value and multiplies it by 3. We could enter a few
different numbers as input values and make a
mapping diagram to show the corresponding
output values.
2. Representing Functions with Tables

3. Representing Functions with Ordered Pairs

We can use the same mapping diagram from earlier to represent the function with
ordered pairs instead. The function can be written as a set of ordered pairs (notice the
curly set brackets on the outside). Make sure to put the input values first as the x-
coordinates and the corresponding output values second as the y-coordinates.
4. Representing Functions with Graphs

On a graph, a function could be just a set of


ordered pairs or it can also be represented as a
continuous line. For example, the line y = 2x is a
function, it takes an input value and multiplies it by
2 to get the output value. The graph of a function
doesn't have to be a straight line, a function can
also be a curve.
