Key Concepts of Function

The document discusses key concepts of functions including that a function relates each element in the domain to exactly one element in the range. It provides examples of determining if relations are functions and evaluating functions at given values. The document also discusses representing real-life scenarios using functions.

Before we proceed in representing real-life scenario using function, let’s go
back to where we start. What have you remembered about relations and
functions?
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.

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.

We said that for a relation to become a function, the


value of the domain must correspond to a single value of
the range. Let’s read some of the conversations and
determine if they can be classified as function or not
Evaluating Functions- means replacing the variable in the
function, in this case x, with a value from the function’s domain
and computing for the result. To denote that we are evaluating f
at a for some a in the domain of f, we write f(a).
