2.1 Relations and Functions

This document discusses functions and relations, including defining a function as a special type of relation where each input is paired with exactly one output. It reviews key concepts like domain and range, different types of functions and relations, and function notation. Examples are provided to illustrate domain and range, evaluating functions using function notation, and determining if a relation qualifies as a function based on the one-to-one principle.

1 Relations and
Functions
In this chapter, you will learn:
 What a function is.
 Review domain and range.
 Linear equations.
 Slope.
 Slope intercept form y = mx+b.
 Point-slope form y – y1 = m(x – x1).
 Linear regression.
What is a function?

FUNCTION FUNCTION
A function is a special type of
relation in which each type of
domain (x values) is paired of
with exactly one range
value (y value).

NOT A FUNCTION
Domain and Range

The set of all inputs, or x-values of a function.


It is all the x – values that are allowed to be used.

The set of all outputs, or y-values of a function.


It is all the y – values that are represented.
Example 1

All x – values or (-∞ , ∞)


 Domain = ________________
 Range = _________________
Just 4 or {4}
Example 2

Just -5 or {-5}
 Domain = ________________
 Range = _________________
All y – values or (-∞ , ∞)
Example 3

All x – values or (-∞ , ∞)


 Domain = ________________
 Range = _________________
From -6 on up or [-6 , ∞)
Example 4

From -6 on up or [-6 , ∞)
 Domain = ________________
 Range = _________________
All y – values or (-∞ , ∞)
Example 5

All x – values or (-∞ , ∞)


 Domain = ________________
 Range = _________________
All y – values or (-∞ , ∞)
Function Notation
What is function notation?

 Function notation, f(x) , is called “f of x” or “a


function of x”.
 It is not f times x .

 Example: if y = x+2 then we say f(x) = x+2.


 If y = 5 when x = 3, then we say f(3) = 5
Example 1
f(x) = 3x + 1

3 (5) + 1 = 16
f( 5) = ____________________

3 (13) + 1 = 40
f( 13) = ____________________

3 (-11) + 1 = -32
f( -11) = ____________________
Example 2
f(x) = x² + 3x - 5

5² + 3 (5) – 5 = 35
f( 5) = ____________________

0² + 3 (0) – 5 = -5
f( 0) = ____________________

4² + 3 (4) – 5 = 23
f( 4) = ____________________
