1.1 Functions

The document discusses functions and their representations. It defines what a function is and distinguishes functions from non-functions using graphs, tables, mappings and equations. It also discusses function notation and evaluating functions using this notation by substituting values into the function.

Functions
Chapter 1.1 and 1.2
become familiar with functions and their many representations, as well
as begin to be able to draw conclusions and make generalizations
Learning Goals – We are learning:
 to write a definition for the word “function” and be able to tell a function from non-functions

 the many representations of functions

 to use function notation

Success Criteria - I will be successful when:


 I can distinguish a function from a non-function when given a graphical,
verbal, or equation representation
Overall and Specific Expectations
demonstrate an understanding of functions, their representations, and their
inverses, and make connections between the algebraic and graphical
representations of functions using transformations;
 1.1 explain the meaning of the term function, and distinguish a function from
a relation that is not a function, through investigation of linear and quadratic
relations using a variety of representations (i.e., tables of values, mapping
diagrams, graphs, function machines, equations) and strategies (e.g.,
identifying a one-to-one or many-to-one mapping; using the vertical-line test)
 1.2 represent linear and quadratic functions using function notation, given
their equations, tables of values, or graphs, and substitute into and evaluate
functions [e.g., evaluate f (1/2), given f(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 1]

the non-functions.

 What is a non function?


Representation of Functions

 Functions can be represented in many forms.

 Graphically
 Mapping Diagram
 Equation
Graphically – Vertical Line Test
Example 1
 Which of the following graphs are functions?
Mapping Diagram – use reasoning
 There should be only one arrow from each member of the domain. However,
each member of the domain can point to the same member of the range.

Equations
 Use your previous knowledge of what the graphs of certain equations are
 Or you can use a graphing calculator to help you.

𝑦 =2 𝑥 −1

𝑦 =− ( 𝑥 +1 )2 +3

𝑦 =4 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥

𝑥 + 𝑦 =1
Domain and Range Terminology:

Set Notation
Key ideas

 Can you state the domain and range of a given function?

 Can you determine whether or not we have a function?

 Can you use the vertical line test? Can you explain why the vertical line test
works?

 Can you tell if an equation is a function?


Summary

 A function is a relation in which each value of the independent variable


corresponds with only one value of the dependent variable.
 Functions can be represented in various ways: in words, a table of values, a
set of ordered pairs, a mapping diagram, a graph, or an equation.
 The domain of a relation or function is the set of all values of the independent
variable ().
 The range of a relation or function is the set of all values of the dependent variable
().
 You can use the vertical-line test to check whether a graph represents a function. A
graph represents a function if every vertical line intersects the graph in at most
one point.

Sunglasses
 The relationship between the selling price of a
new brand of sunglasses and revenue, R(s), is
represented by the function

Rs   10s 2  800s  120


and its graph at the right.
a) Determine the revenue when the selling price is
$5.

b) Explain what R(20) = 12,120 means.


Sunglasses

c. If R(s) = 16,120, determine the selling price s.


Summary

 and are interchangeable


 When using function notation , we substitute the value of into the bracket,
and then replace all the ’s in the function with this value.
