Functions Tr Keena

Learning Objective:
• Define what is meant by a relation and a function
• Understand domain and range.
• Identify whether a set of ordered pairs defines a
function
• Identify and evaluate a linear functions
Introduction
• Relations and Functions in give us the relationship between any
two things.

Age Weigh
(years t (kg)  An age of 10 years would have a weight of 31kg. An
) age of 16 years would have a weight of 53kg and so on.
10 31
 This type of information represents a relation between
12 36
two sets of data.
14 48
16 53

 We can also represent


{(10, 31), (12, 36), (14, 48), (16,
this information as a
53)}
set of ordered
pairs
Domain / Range /
Input Output

Age Weigh • The domain is referred to as the


(years t (kg) INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
)
• The range is referred to as the
10 31
DEPENDENT VARIABLE
12 36
14 48
16 53 Summary
• The domain = { 10, 12, 14, 16 }
Relation  transforms elements of
one set into elements of another.
• The range = { 31, 36, 48, 53 }
Function  if each input value of
this relation has exactly one output
Example 1: Identify if a set of pairs defines a
function
Which of the following relationships represents a function ?

Relation A Relation B

1 4 1

Answer: Relation B
Remember that a function is a formula which each input has one
output!
Linear Hey, I want to

Imagine that we have booked a cleaner for a your rate?


job.

The total amount that the cleaner will charge


is a function of the number of hours they
work.

Using 𝑥 to represent the total number of


hours spent working and 𝑦 to represent the
total cost, in RM, the linear equation is:
y = 10 + 5x
the linear equation
can be written can
be in linear function
as:
Since 𝑥 is the input to the function, the value
𝑓(8) = 10 +
Calculation

of the function for a certain number can be

variable 𝑥.
found by substituting that number for the 5(8)
= 10 +
For example, if she work for 8
40
is found by substituting 𝑥 = 8:
hours, the total cost of the gardener
= 50

So, 𝑓(8) = 50.


Example 2: Evaluating a Linear Function at a
Given Point

Evaluate 𝑓(2), given that 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 7.

Answer

𝑓(2) = 3(2) +
• To find the value of a function Calculation
for a certain number, we
substitute that number for the
variable. 7
=6+7
function is 𝑥.
• In this case, the variable of the
= 13

So, 𝑓(2) = 13.


• Hence, 𝑓(2) is found by
substituting 𝑥=2 into the
expression 3𝑥+7
Example 3: Evaluating a Linear Function at a
Given Point

For the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 − 5, evaluate:


i) f(2) ii) f(0) iii) f(−2)

Calculations
𝑓(2) =
: 3(2) − 5 𝑓(0) = 3(0) − 5 𝑓(−2) = 3(−2) −
=6−5 =0−5 5
=1 =−5 =−6−5

So, 𝑓(2) = 1. So, 𝑓(0) = − 5.


= − 11

So, 𝑓(−2) = −
11.
Example 4: Evaluating a Linear Function

If 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 4, write the following in their simplest


form:
i) f(x + 1) ii) f(2x – 1 )

Calculations
𝑓(x +: 1) = (x + 𝑓(2x − 1 ) = (2x −
1) + 4 1) + 4
=x+ = 2x
5 +3

So, 𝑓(x + 1) = x So, 𝑓(2x − 1 ) = 2x
