Relations and Functions

- The document discusses relations and functions. It provides definitions and examples. - A relation is a set of ordered pairs, with a domain (set of first elements) and range (set of second elements). A function is a special relation where each domain element is mapped to exactly one range element. - The document gives examples of relations and functions represented as tables of values, ordered pairs, mappings, and graphs. It explains how to identify if a relation qualifies as a function using different representations.

Example of relation

{(0, -5) , (1, -4) , (2, -3), (3, -2) , (4, -1), (5, 0)}

{(1, 5),(4, -4),(6, -3)


Identifying domain and range

{(0, 5),(1, 4),(2, 3),(3, 2),(4, 1),(5, 0)}

What are the domain?

(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

What are the range?

(-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0)


Definition
- a SPECIAL
RELATION in
which each element
of the domain
corresponds to
exactly one
element of the
Function
range.
Characteristics 1. Each element
of Functions in domain X must
be matched with
exactly one
element in range
Y.
Characteristics
of Functions 2. Some elements
in Y may not be
matched with
any element in X.
Characteristics
3. Two or more
of Functions
elements in X
may be matched
with the same
element in Y.
A function can
be represented
1. Table of

2. Ordered Pairs

Let’s look at another relation and decide if it is a function.

Set A is the domain Set B is the range

This is a function ---it


meets our conditions Must use all the x’s

The x value can only be assigned to one y

Is the relation shown above a function?


NO Why not???

Check this relation out to determine if it is a function.

This is not a function---


it doesn’t assign each

one point. Vertical
