Functions and

Relations
Year 10 FMM – Exercise 9.2
Learning Goals

• What:
In this lesson we will learn the differences between a function and a relation
• Why:
Functions and relations help solve problems and model real-world scenarios
effectively.
• How:
I can:
Identify the type of a relation
Determine the domain and range of a function or relation
Determine the inverse function of a one-to-one function.
What is a Relation?

• A relation is defined as a set of ordered pairs (x, y) Examples of relations


include:
How do we determine the type of
relation we have?
Example 1 – Identifying the type of
relation
Functions

• Relations that are one-to-one or many-to-one are called functions. That is, a
function is a relation in which for any x-value there is at most one y-value.
How do we test for a function?
• To determine if a graph is a function, a vertical line is drawn anywhere on the
graph. If it does not intersect with the curve more than once, then the graph is
a function.
• For example, in each of the two graphs below, each vertical line intersects the
graph only once:
Worked Example 2 – Identifying the
Function
Function Notation

• Consider the relation y=2x, which is a function.


• The y-values are determined from the x-values, so we say ‘y is a function of x’,
which is abbreviated to y=f(x).
• So, the rule y=2x can also be written as f(x) =2x.
• For a given function y=f(x), the value of y when x=1 is written as f(1), the value
of y when x=5 is written as f(5), the value of y when x=a as f(a), etc.
• For the function f(x) =2x:
• When x=1, y = f(1) = 2×1 = 2.
• When x=2, y = f(2)= 2×2 = 4, and so on.
Example 3 – Writing a Function

• Write the following equation as a function and solve f(6).

• y = x2
Domain and Range

• The domain of a function is the set of all allowable values of x. It is sometimes


referred to as the maximal domain.
• The range of a function is the set of y-values produced by the function.
Domain and Range Set Notation

How do we communicate mathematically what the domain and range is to someone


else?
• Inequality notation
• Set notation
• Interval notation

For now, we will only be looking at set notation:


• , this means that x is an element of
• R denotes the set of real numbers e.g means that x is an element of the reals
• \ denotes that you are not including the following set of numbers e.g means that x is
an element of the real numbers, excluding zero
Set notation – Domain and Range for
the following graphs
Example 4 – Evaluating a Function

• , calculate the following:
