Relation, Functions and Graphs

The document discusses relations and functions. A function is a special type of relation where each input is paired with exactly one output. Functions can be represented using function notation like f(x) or y=f(x). The vertical line test can be used to determine if a relation represents a function - if any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is not a function. Linear functions have the general form y=mx+b and their graphs are straight lines. The slope of a line can be used to write an equation to represent the relationship between two variables.

Relation, Functions and Graphs

Relation
Functions
A function is a relation in which each element
of the domain is paired with exactly one
element of the range. Another way of
saying it is that there is one and only one
output (y) with each input (x).

1. Yes
2. No

Answer Now
Vertical Line Test (pencil test)
If any vertical line passes through more
than one point of the graph, then that
relation is not a function.
Are these functions?

FUNCTION! FUNCTION! NOPE!

Suppose that a firm manufactures MP3 players and sells them
for $50 each. The costs incurred in the production and sale of
the MP3 players are $200,000 plus $10 for each player
produced and sold. Write the profit function for the production
and sale of x players. Find the break even value.
A $360,000 building is depreciated by its owner. The value y of
the building after x months of use is y=360,000 -1500x

(b) How long is it until the building is completely depreciated
(its value is zero)?
(c) The point (60, 270,000) lies on the graph. Explain what this
means.
