FUNCTIONS
June 19, 2025
Learning Objectives:
The Learners represents real-
life situations using functions
and performs addition,
subtraction, multiplication and
division.
Recall:
Relation?
RELATION
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.
Example:
A = {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}
Domain:1,2,3,4 Range:2,3,4,5
Recall:
Function?
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.
Example:
A = {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}
Domain:1,2,3,4 Range:2,3,4,5
FUNCTION
Domain: Range:
1 2

4 ways to present a Function
1.Set of ordered pairs
2.Table of values

Determining a function
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)}
Determining a function
From the given table of values, which
relation shows a function?
A.
B.
C.
Determining a function
On the following mapping diagrams, which
do you think represent functions?
Graph of a function
Vertical Line test
Graph of a function
Vertical Line test
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.
Determining a function
Using the vertical line test, can you identify
the graph/s of function?
Two ways to determine a
Function
• Correspondence of Domain and Range
