A relation is any set of ordered pairs. The set of all first
elements of the ordered pairs is called the domain of the
relation, and the set of all second elements is called the range.
A function is a relation or rule of correspondence between two
elements (domain and range) such that each element in the
domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range.
To further understand function, let’s study the following.
Given the following ordered pairs, which relations are
functions?
A = {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}
B = {(3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}
C = {(1,0), (0, 1, (-1,0), (0,-1)}
D = {(a,b), (b, c), (c,d), (a,d)}
.
How about if the given are graphs of relations, can you identify which
are functions?
Do you still remember the vertical line test? Let’s recall.
A relation between two sets of numbers can be illustrated by graph in the
Cartesian plane, and that a function passes the vertical line test.
A graph of a relation is a function if any vertical line drawn passing through the
graph intersects it at exactly one point.
Using the vertical line test, can you identify the graph/s of
function?
A. C.
B. D.
