What is a function?
Input 1 2 3 4 5
b. Output 3 3 3 3 3 Function
Example 4
a. x + y = 4
2 2 b. x2 + y – 4 = 0
From this equation, you can see that for each value of x, there
is one and only one value for y. For example, if x = 1, then y = 4 -
12 = 3. The equation defines y as a function of x.
Next, find its domain and range.
Note that the value of y will always be a real number no matter
what the value of x is. Therefore, the domain of the relation is the
set of real numbers. In symbols,
Domain = { x I x ϵ R } or { x is any element of R }
To find the range, solve for x. Solving for x, we obtain
x2 + y - 4 = 0
Add 4 on both sides and
x2 = 4 - y
subtract y from both sides
x = ± √(4 – y ) Extract the square root to
solve the quadratic equation
Notice that x in this case will only be real if the expression on the other
side is real. This implies that the radicand, 4 – y, must be non-negative. That
is, 4 – y must be greater than or equal to zero.
In symbols,
4 – y ≥ 0 or y ≤ 4
Therefore, the range is the set of real numbers less than or equal to 4.
In symbols, we write
Range = { y I y ≤ 4 }
