FUNCTIONS
DEFINITION OF TERMS

• Relation – It is a set of ordered pairs.

• Function – It is a relation in which each element of the domain


corresponds to exactly one element of the range.
FUNCTIONS

Functions can be represented in different ways


• A table of values
• Ordered pairs
• Graph
• Equation
FUNCTIONS
Which of the following relations are functions?

f = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 5), (4,5)}

g = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 7)}

h = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), … , (n, 3n)}

diagram is a function.

DOMAIN AND RANGE
DEFINITION OF TERMS

• Domain is the set of first coordinates.

• Range is the set of second coordinates.


NOTE

Presented below are some restrictions to consider when finding


the domain and range of some functions that involve the
following:

• Radicals with even indices: Radicands must be nonnegative (i.e


radicand is greater than or equal to zero).
• Fractions: Denominators must not be equal to zero.
DOMAIN AND RANGE

PIECEWISE FUNCTIONS
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Piecewise Functions
- It is a function that is defined by two or more equations
where each equations applies to a certain interval over a
specified domain.
PIECEWISE FUNCTIONS

is f(3)?

PIECEWISE FUNCTIONS
A user charged Php 300 monthly for a particular mobile plan,
which includes 100 free text messages. Messages in excess of
100 are charged Php 1 each. Represent the amount a customer
pays each month as a function of the number of messages m
sent in a month.
EVALUATING FUNCTIONS
DEFINITION OF TERMS

Evaluating a Function means replacing the variable in the


function, in this case x, with a value from the function’s domain
and computing for the result. To denote that we are evaluating f
at a for some a in the domain of f, we write f(a).
EVALUATING FUNCTIONS
Evaluate the function at x = 2.
1. p(x) = x² - 2x + 2
EVALUATING FUNCTIONS

Evaluate the function at x = 3x - 1.


2. f(x) = 2x + 1
EVALUATING FUNCTIONS

Evaluate the function at x = 2x + 3.


3. g(x) = x² -2x + 2
OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Let f and g be functions.

1. Their sum, denoted by f + g, is the function defined by (f + g)(x) = f(x) +


g(x).
2.
•   Their difference, denoted by f – g, is the function defined by (f – g)(x) =
f(x) – g(x).
3. Their product, denoted by f ∙ g, is the function defined by (f ∙ g)(x) = f(x)
∙ g(x).
4. Their quotient, denoted by f/g, is the function defined by , excluding
the values of x where g(x) = 0.
