RELATIONS
A relation is any set of ordered
pairs.
Domain of the relation
• the set of all first elements of
the ordered pairs
Range
• the set of all second elements
A function is a relationship
between two (2) sets of
variable, X and Y.
The first set of independent
variables is Domain.
The second set of dependent
variables is Range.
FUNCTIONS
A function is used to describe
how one variable depends on
another.
Independent Variable
• causes or determine;
independent happens first
Dependent Variable
• depends on or relies on
WHAT IS A FUNCTION?
• 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.
• (Note: All functions are
relation but not all relations
are functions.)

Functions as representation of
real-life situations
Functions can be often be
used to model real-life
situations. Identifying an
appropriate functional
model will lead to a
better understanding of
various phenomena
