FUNCTIONS

General Mathematics
Lesson Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students must be
able to:
• define functions and related terms;
• determine if the given relation represents a
function;
• define piece-wise function; and
• represents real-life situations using functions,
including piece-wise functions.
Relation
A relation is a set of ordered pairs. The domain
of a relation is the set of first coordinates. The
range is the set of second coordinates.

Example of Relations
1. {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 8)}
2. {(4, 2), (4, -2), (9, 3), (9,3)}
3. {(1, a), (1, b), (1, c), (1,d)}
Function
A function is a relation in which each element of
the domain corresponds to exactly one element
of the range.
Examples of Functions
1. {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 8)}
2. {(2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5,1)}
Example 1: Listing Ordered Pairs
Determine if the following relations represent a
function.
1. {(q, 0), (w, 1), (e, 2), (t, 3)} FUNCTION
2. {(-1, -2), (0, -2), (1, -2), (2, -2)} FUNCTION
3. {(1, 0), (1,1), (1, 2), (1, -2)} NOT FUNCTION
4. {(x, 3), (y, 4), (z, 3), (w, 4)} FUNCTION
Relation and Function
Relations and functions can be
represented by mapping diagrams
where the elements of the domain are
mapped to the elements of the range
using arrows.
Example 2: MAPPING DIAGRAM
Which of the
following
mapping
diagrams
represent
functions?
The Vertical Line Test
• Vertical Line Test: a relation is a function
if a vertical line drawn through its graph,
passes through only one point.

AKA: “The Pencil Test”


Take a pencil and move it from left to
right (–x to x) of the given graph; if it
crosses more than one point, it is not a
function
Example 3: Vertical Line Test

Would
this graph
be a
function?
YES
Example 3: Vertical Line Test

Would
this graph
be a
function?
NO
EXERCISES
General Mathematics
Exercise A
Determine whether or not each relation is a
function. Give the domain and range of each
relation.

1. {(2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 6)}


2. {(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3)}
3. {(6, 7), (6, 8), (7, 7), (7, 8)}
Exercise B
Which of the following mapping diagrams
represent functions? Identify the relation.
Exercise C
Which of the following can be graphs of
functions?
