1 - Relations and Functions

The document discusses functions and relations. It defines a function as a relation where every x-value has exactly one y-value. It introduces function notation f(x) and using it to evaluate functions at given x-values. It also discusses using the vertical line test to determine if a relation is a function by checking if a vertical line can intersect the graph in more than one point.

Defn: A relation is a set of ordered pairs.

Domain: The x values of the ordered pair.

Range: The y values of the ordered pair.

Defn: A function is a relation where every x value has one and


only one value of y assigned to it.

3.5 – Introduction to Functions
Graphs can be used to determine if a relation is a
function.
Vertical Line Test
If a vertical line can be drawn so that it intersects a
graph of an equation more than once, then the equation
is not a function.

3.6 – Function Notation
Function Notation
Shorthand for stating that an equation is a function.
Defines the independent variable (usually x) and the
dependent variable (usually y).
3.6 – Function Notation
Function notation also defines the value of x that is to be use
to calculate the corresponding value of y.
f(x) = 4x – 1 g(x) = x2 – 2x
find f(3). find f(2). find g(–3).
f(2) = 4(2) – 1 g(–3) = (-3)2 – 2(-3)
f(2) = 8 – 1 g(–3) = 9 + 6
f(2) = 7 g(–3) = 15
(2, 7) (–3, 15)
3.6 – Function Notation

Given the graph of y


the following function, ●
find each function
