What are relations?

What are functions?

Presenting functions as tables and graphs

The Vertical Line Test

ANALYZE!
Do you still remember how to fill in the
table of values based on a given graph?

LEARNING
OUTCOMES
By the end of the lesson, you'll be
able to:

• Express relations and functions


in tables and graphs.
• Differentiate between a relation
and a function.
• Use a vertical test.
WHAT ARE A relation is a set of ordered pairs that

RELATIONS?
represent a relationship.

Example:
Names and their age are a set
of ordered pairs that we could
put into a table.
Name Alex Jude Arlo Casey

Age 9 12 11 11
WHAT IS A
FUNCTION?
• A function is a special type of relation
where each input only has one output.
• Functions are a way of connecting input
values to their corresponding output
values.
• The relation is a function if, for every x-
value, there is exactly one y-value.
WHAT IS A
FUNCTION?
Functions are a way of connecting input values to
their corresponding output values.

Example:
Ordering a coffee for $5

Pay $5, and you get 1 coffee.


Pay $10, and you'll get 2 coffees, and so on.

The input affects the output in a predictable way.


GRAPHING A FUNCTION USING
THE TABLE OF VALUES Step 2:
y Plot the points.
Given the equation y = 2x.
4

Step 1: 3

2
Construct the table of values.
Do this by substituting values of x to y=2x. 1

x -
0 1 2
1
-
x -1 0 1 2 1

-2
y -2 0 2 4

Notice that for every value of x, there is only one value of y.


TRY THIS!
Is this relation a function?

x -6 -3 2 7 9 9 10

y -18 -16 -15 -2 -4 11 -9

LINE TEST
3

Use the vertical line test to -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 5


-
check whether a graph of a 1

relation is a function. -2

-3

If a vertical line, drawn anywhere on -4

the graph, can touch the graph only -5

once, then it is a function.


VERTICAL

LINE TEST 2

If a vertical line, drawn anywhere -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 5


-
on the graph, can touch the graph 1
more than once, then the relation is -2

not a function. -3

SUMMARY
A function is a special type of
relation where each input only has
one output.

Graphing a function using the table


of values

Step 1: Construct the table of values.


Step 2: Plot the points on the coordinate plane.
CLOSET
COLORS!
Select 10 clothing items from your closet. Create a
mapping diagram to record the colors to each of
the clothing you have.

Then, find out if the information you collected


represents a function or not.
Share your findings with
the class next session.
