Relation• A relation is a set of ordered pairs of
real numbers.F = {(3, 2) (4, 1) (2, 4) (1, 3)}
• If I say (2, __ ) , can you fill in the blank?G = {(3, 3) (4, 1) (2, 1) (1, 3)}
• If I say (4, __ ) , can you fill in the blank?

• In a relation the set of all of the values of the independent variable is called the domain.
• What is the domain of F?{3, 4, 2, 1}
• Does G = {(3, 3) (4, 1) (2, 1) (1, 3)} have the same domain?
DomainF = {(3, 2) (4, 1) (2, 4) (1, 3)}

• In a relation the set of all of the values of the dependent variable is called the range.
• What is the range of G?{3, 1}
• Does F = {(3, 2) (4, 1) (2, 4) (1, 3)} have the same range?
Range G = {(3, 3) (4, 1) (2, 1) (1, 3)}

(Domain, Range)
• Notice the alphabetical characteristic of Domain and Range.
(x, y)(a, b)
(abscissa, ordinate)• Unfortunately (independent, dependent)
breaks the rule.

Function
• A function is a relation in which , for each value of the first component there is exactly one value of the second component.
H = {(3, 2) (4, 1) (3, 4) (1, 3)}K = {(2, 3) (4, 1) (3, 2) (1, 3)}
• H is not a function,but K is a function.

Definition of a Function (page 27)
• A function from set A to set B is a relation that assigns to each element x in the set A exactly one element y in the set B.
• The set A is the domain (or set of inputs) of the function f.
• The set B contains the range (or the set of outputs)

Characteristics of a function from Set A to Set B (page 27)
1. Each element in A must be matched with an element in B.
2. Some elements in B may not be matched with any element in A. (leftovers)
3. Two or more elements in A may be matched with the same element in B.
4. An element in A (the domain) cannot be matched with two different elements in B.

Four Ways to Represent a Function
1. Verbally by a sentence that describes how the input variable is related to the output variable.
2. Numerically by a table or a list of ordered pairs that matches input values with output values
3. Graphically by points on a graph in a coordinate plane in which the inputs are represented on the horizontal axis and the output values are represented by the vertical axis.
4. Algebraically by an equation in two variables.

Testing for Functions Example 1a
Determine whether the relation represents y as a function of x.
The input value x is the number of representatives from a state, and the output value y is the number of senators.
(x, 2)• This is a constant function.

Testing for Functions Example 1b
Determine whether the relation represents y as a function of x.
Since x = 2 has two outputs the table does not describe a function.

Testing for Functions Represented Algebraically Example 2a
• Solve for y• For each
value of x there is only one value for y.
• So y is a function of x.

• Solve for y• For each

• So y is not a function of x.

Functional Notation
• y = F(x)• F(x) read F of x• It does not mean F × x
(multiplication)
![Page 18: Section 1.3 Functions](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56814abc550346895db7ce7e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Functional Notation
• Consider y = 2x + 5• Suppose that you wanted to tell someone
to substitute in x = 3 into an equation.
• With functional notation y = 2x + 5 becomes f(x) = 2x + 5.
• And f(3) means substitute in 3 everyplace you see an x.
