REPRESENTATION OF

FUNCTIONS
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students must be able to:
• define functions and related terms;
• determine if the given relation represents a function;
• define piece-wise function; and
• represents real-life situations using functions, including piece-wise
functions.
A relation is a set of ordered pairs. The domain of a relation is the set of first
coordinates. The range is the set of second coordinates.

Example of Relation
1. {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 8)}
-What is the domain? {1,2,3,4}
-What is the range? {4,5,6,8}
A function is a relation in which each element of the
domain corresponds to exactly one element of the range.

Examples of Functions
1. {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 8)}
2. {(2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5,1)}
Focus on the x-coordinates, when given a relation.

Is a
relation a If the set of ordered If the set of ordered
pairs have different pairs have the same x-
function? x-coordinates, IT IS coordinates, IT IS
A FUNCTION. NOT FUNCTION.
EXAMPLE 1

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

Is this a function?
Hint: Look only at the x-coordinates

YES
EXAMPLE 2

{(-1,7), (1,0), (2,-3), (0,-8), (0, 5), (-2,1)}

Is this a function?
Hint: Look only at the x-coordinates

NOT
Functions can also be expressed as a
correspondence or mapping of two non
empty sets.
YES YES
Table of values is commonly observed
when describing a function. This shows the
correspondence between a set of values of
x and a set of values of y in tabular form.
NOT YES YES
Functions as Graphs
Vertical Line Test: a relation is a function if
a vertical line drawn through its graph ,
passes through only one point.
Would this
graph be a
function?

YES
Would this
graph be a
function?

NOT
YES YES NO
1. The items in a store to their prices on a certain
date.

There is only one price for each different item on a certain


date. The relation from items to price makes it a function.

2. Types of fruits to their colors.

A fruit, such as an apple, from the domain would be associated with


more than one color, such as red and green. The relation from types
of fruits to their colors is not a function.
Piecewise Function

A piecewise function or a compound function is a function defined by


multiple sub-functions, where each sub-function applies to a certain
interval of the main function's domain.

Example:
f(x) = x + 2, if x ≥ 0
–x + 2,
2
if x<0
Example:
A user is charge P300 monthly for a particular mobile plan, which
includes100 free text messages. Messages in excess of 100 are charged
P1 each. Represent the monthly cost for text messaging using the
function f(x), where x is the number of messages sent monthly.

f(x) = 300, if 0<x≤


100
300 + x, if x
> 100
Example:
A jeepney ride cost P8 for the first 4 km, and each additional kilometer
adds P2 to the fare. Use a piecewise function to represent the jeepney
fare in terms of the distance d in kilometer.

f(d) = 8, if 0 < d ≤ 4
8 + 2d, if d > 4
Example:
A courier company charges P100 per package weighing 2 kg or less.
They charge P15 for each additional kilogram or fraction of a kilogram
up to 5 kg. Write a piecewise function that gives the cost C for shipping
a package weighing k kilograms.

f(k) = 100, if 0 <


k≤2
100 + 15k, if 2
<k≤5
