Lesson 1 Function

This document discusses functions and relations. It defines a relation as a set of ordered pairs that associates entities, and a function as a special type of relation where each input is paired with exactly one output. Functions can be expressed as ordered pairs, tables, graphs or mappings. The document provides examples of using functions to model real-life situations like cost functions and area functions. It also discusses piecewise functions and evaluating functions by substituting values.

REVIEW

WHAT IS A RELATION?
• Is something that associates one entity with
another. It describes two or more entities that
possess some kind of connection.

WHAT IS A FUNCTION?
It takes input to creates output based
from the given input. A function relates two or
more entities and these entities are your input
and output.
Present a scenario where
functional relationship exist in
your daily life.
OBJECTIVE

 REPRESENTS REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS


USING FUNCTION, INCLUDING PIECE-
WISE FUNCTIONS.
Let’s review Relations!

• A relation is a set of ordered pairs.


{(1,2), (2,-3), (-2,4), (-1,0)} is an example of a
relation.

• The x-values in each coordinate make up what is referred


to as the domain. {-2, -1, 1, 2} is the domain of the relation.

• The y-values in each coordinate make up what is referred


to as the range. {-3, 0, 2, 4} is the range of the relation.
So What Are Functions?

• Functions are relations, so they are sets of ordered


pairs!
• What makes them special is that the x-values don’t
repeat!
• Each x-value is paired with exactly one y-value.
• There are many ways to express functions.
• They can be expressed as ordered pairs, in tables,
in a graph, or as a mapping.
Let’s take a closer look at how functions can be
expressed

• Let’s use the relation:{(-2,3), (1, 4), (0, 4), (-1, 2)}.
This relation is a function because the x-values don’t
repeat.
It is expressed here as a set of ordered
pairs.
We can also use a table to express
this function.
A Mapping is another way to express functions.

You can express a function as a mapping. A mapping


is two ovals. The first oval contains the domain (x-
values). The second oval contains the range (y-values).
For example:
This is an example of a mapping.
Each x-value is mapped or paired
with exactly one y-value.
You can also express functions in a graph.
Graphs of Functions
You can tell if the graph of a relation is a function if it
passes something called the Vertical Line Test. The
VLT says that if you draw a vertical line through a
graph and it intersects the graph in exactly one point,
then the graph is a function.
FUNCTIONS AS REPRESENTATIONS OF
REAL LIFE SITUATIONS
 Functions can often be used to model real life situations.
Identifying an appropriate functional model will lead to a
better understanding of various phenomena.

Example 1: Give a function C that can represent the cost


buying x meals, if one meal costs ₱40.

Solution:
Since each meal costs ₱40, then the cost
function if C(x) = 40x
FUNCTIONS AS REPRESENTATIONS OF
REAL LIFE SITUATIONS
Example 2:One hundred meters fencing is available to
enclose a rectangular area next to a river (see figure).
Give a function A that can represent the area that can
be enclosed, in terms of x.
FUNCTIONS AS REPRESENTATIONS OF
REAL LIFE SITUATIONS
Solution:
The area of the rectangular enclosure
A= xy
(We will write this function of x)
Since only 100 m of fencing is available, then
x + 2y = 100
2y = 100-x
y = 50 – 0.5x
Thus, A(x)= x(50-0.5x)
=50x-0.5x2
PIECEWISE FUNCTIONS

Some situation can only be


described by more than one
formula, depending on the value
of the independent variable.
PIECEWISE FUNCTIONS

Example 1:A user is charged ₱300 monthly for a


particular mobile plan, which includes 100 free text
messages. Messages in excess of 100 are charged ₱1 each.
Represent the amount a consumer pays each month as a
function of the number of messages m sent in a month.
Solution: Let t(m) represent the amount paid by the
consumer each month . It can be by the piecewise function
Which of the following relations are
functions?
Example 1:
a.) f = {(1,2), (2,2), (3,5), (4,5)
b.) g = {(1,3), (1,4), (2,5), (2,6), (3,7)}
c.) h = {(1,3), (2,6), (3,9),…, (n,3n)….}
Solution:
The relation f and h are functions because no two
ordered pairs have the same x-value but different
y-values, while g is not function because (1,3) and
(1,4) are ordered pairs with the same x value but
different y-values.
Which of the following relations are
functions?
a.) x f(x) b.) x y c.) x f(x)
1 0 1 0 0 1
-1 1 2 2 -1 2
2 2 2 2
2 -2
-2 2

EVALUATING FUNCTION
EVALUATING FUNCTION

To evaluate a function is to:


Replace (substitute) its variable with a given
number or expression.

Ex. Evaluate the function f(x) = 2x + 4 for x = 5

Just replace the variable “x” with “5”


f(5) = 2 x 5 + 4 = 14

Answer. F (5) = 14
