Relations
A relation is a mapping, or pairing, of
input values with output values.
The set of input values is called the
domain.
The set of output values is called the
range.
A relation as a function provided
there is exactly one output for each
input.
It is NOT a function if at least one
input has more than one output
Output
-3
-2
1
4
Output
-3
-2
Function?
Yes: each input is mapped
onto exactly one output
Quadrant I
X>0, y>0
Origin (0,0)
Quadrant III
X<0, y<0
Quadrant IV
X>0, y<0
Graphing Relations
To graph the relation in the
previous example:
Write as ordered pairs
(-3,3), (1,-2), (1,1), (4,4)
Plot the points
(-3,3)
(4,4)
(1,1)
(1,-2)
(-3,3)
(1,1)
(3,1)
(4,-2)
(-3,3)
(4,4)
(1,1)
(1,-2)
Function?
No, Two points are on
The same vertical line.
(-3,3)
(1,1)
(3,1)
(4,-2)
Function?
Yes, no two points are
on the same vertical line
1. Construct a table of
values
2. Graph enough solutions
to recognize a pattern
3. Connect the points with a
line or curve
Graph: y = x + 1
Step
3:
Step2:
Step 1
Table of values
Function Notation
By naming the function f you can write
the function notation:
f(x) = mx + b
the value of f at x
f of x
f(x) is another name for y (grown up
name)
You can use other letters for f, like g or h
f(x) = -x2 3x + 5
Not linear.
f(-2) = -(-2)2 3(-2) + 5
f(-2) = 7
g(x) = 2x + 6
Is linear because x is to the first power
g(-2) = 2(-2) + 6
g(-2) = 2
The domain for both is..
All reals
