Chapter 2 Lesson 3 – Relations and Functions

Chapter 2, Lesson 3 covers the concepts of relations and functions, defining key terms such as mapping, domain, and range. It distinguishes between relations and functions, emphasizing that functions map each x-value uniquely to a y-value. The chapter also introduces different types of functions, including linear, quadratic, rational, and radical functions, along with methods to find their domains and ranges.

Lesson 3 – Relations and Functions

IDENTIFYING RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS


 MAPPING – how the elements are paired, creating a set of ordered pair (x,y)
1. One-to-One 2. Many-to-One 3. One-to-Many

 RELATION – mapping each elements of the first set (x-values or domain) to the elements of the second set (y-values or
range)
 FUNCTION – mapping each elements of the first set (x-values or domain) UNIQUELY to the elements of the second set
(y-values or range)
 DOMAIN – set of x-values (first set)
 RANGE – set of y-values (second set)

Examples:

Try this!
Determine the following set of ordered pairs if they are RELATION or FUNCTION:
1.

2.

3.

FUNCTION NOTATION
Functions are given in terms of equation rather than set of ordered pairs. You simply evaluate the function based on
the given domain or x-value.
Examples:
Evaluate the following functions:
1. . Find the value of y if x = 2.
2. . Find and

Try this!
Evaluate the following functions:
1.
a. b.

2.
a. b. c. )

FINDING THE SET OF DOMAIN AND RANGE FOR FUNCTION NOTATIONS


If the specific value of the domain is not indicated, we will give the set of all possible values.

SOME TYPE OF FUNCTIONS:


1. LINEAR FUNCTION
The highest exponent of the variable x is 1. Usually, the form is

Domain =
Range =

Examples
Find the domain and range of the following functions:
1.

2.

3.

4.
2. QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS
The highest exponent of the variable x is 2. Usually, the form is and some are

If a is positive, parabola faces upward If a is negative, parabola faces downward

Domain =
Range = - or -

To solve for the y-value:


1. Find the value of x.

2. Substitute the value of x into the original function in order to find the y-value.
Examples
Find the domain and range of the following functions:
1.

2.

3.

3. RATIONAL FUNCTION (QUOTIENT/FRACTIONAL)


Avoid the denominator to become zero (0), hence, all real numbers can become the domain, except the value that will
make the denominator zero.
Usually in the form

DOMAIN = -
to find the value that will make the denominator zero, simply add “ ” into the denominator, then find the value of x
RANGE =
Examples
Find the domain and range of the following functions:
1.

2.

4. RADICAL FUNCTION (SQUARE ROOT)


Avoid negative value inside the radical symbol ( ). The lowest possible value is zero. Hence, we need to find the
lowest value of x that will make the whole equation inside the then that is the value for the domain. Range is
always zero, but you need to test whether it is or .

DOMAIN =
or
RANGE = or If function is only inside the
or or substitute x value in the whole equation to find y-value

to identify if or , choose values above and/or below the x-value then if true, choose the inequality symbol that
makes it true.

Examples
Find the domain and range of the following functions:
1. 2. 3.
