L1_Functions_and_Relations

The document explains the concepts of relations and functions, defining key terms such as domain, range, and the vertical line test. It emphasizes that a function must have exactly one output for each input and provides examples to illustrate how to identify the domain and range of a relation. Additionally, it discusses how to determine if a relation is a function using the vertical line test.

RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

VOCABULARY

RELATION: A relation is a set of


ordered pairs.
VOCABULARY

DOMAIN: The domain of a


relation is the set of all inputs.
VOCABULARY

RANGE: The range of a relation is


the set of all outputs.
VOCABULARY

FUNCTION: A function is a
relation with the property that for
each input there is exactly one
output.
In order to be a function, every X must have a
one Y.

No Ys can share any Xs.


Think about airplanes. Lots of planes fly at the same HEIGHT (y
value). But generally, we try to make sure that planes do not fly
on top of each other (the same x value).

Why do we make sure planes do not occupy the same x value?


Sure. Cool.
Great.

No.
VOCABULARY
VERTICAL LINE TEST: The vertical line test says that if you
can find a vertical line passing through more than one point of a
graph of a relation, then the relation is not a function. Otherwise,
the relation is a function.
EXAMPLE 1—Identifying the Domain and
Range

Identify the domain and range of the relation represented by


the table below that shows one Norway Spruce tree’s height
at different ages.
EXAMPLE 1—Identifying the Domain and
Range

The relation consists of the ordered pairs _____,


_____, _____, _____, and _____.
EXAMPLE 1—Identifying the Domain and
Range
EXAMPLE 1—Identifying the Domain and
Range

The domain of the relation is the set of all


______, or ______________.
EXAMPLE 1—Identifying the Domain and
Range

The domain of the relation is the set of all


INPUTS, or X-COORDINATES.
EXAMPLE 1—Identifying the Domain and
Range

The range is the set of all _______, or _____________.


The range is the set of all OUTPUTS, or Y-
COORDINATES.
EXAMPLE 1—Identifying the Domain and
Range

So, what would be the domain and range of our


previous data sets?

DOMAIN: __, __, __, __, __


RANGE: __, __, __, __, __
EXAMPLE 1—Identifying the Domain and
Range

DOMAIN:5, 10, 15, 20, 25


RANGE: 13, 25, 34, 43, 52
EXAMPLE 2—Representing a Relation

Represent a relation (−3, 2), (−2, −2), (1, 1), (1, 3), (2, −3) as
indicated.

List the inputs and the outputs in order. Draw arrows


from the INPUTS to their OUPUTS.
EXAMPLE 4—Using the Vertical Line Test

In the graph, no vertical line passes through more than one


point. So, the relation represented by the graph
________________.
EXAMPLE 4—Using the Vertical Line Test

In the graph, no vertical line passes through more than one


point. So, the relation represented by the graph IS A
FUNCTION.
EXAMPLE 4—Using the Vertical Line Test
In the graph, the vertical line shown passes through two points. So,
the relation represented by the graph ____________________.
EXAMPLE 4—Using the Vertical Line Test
In the graph, the vertical line shown passes through two points. So,
the relation represented by the graph IS NOT A FUNCTION.
State whether the following relations are
functions.

3 4

5 (3, 6), (2, 4), (3, 7), (-7, 9)


6 (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8)
