Chapter 1 Functions
Lesson 1
Function as
models
Objectives:
• Identify the difference between relations
and functions;
• Represent functions as a table of values,
and graph in the cartesian plane using
Vertical line test; and
Function – is a relation defined as a set of ordered
pairs (x, y), where no two or more distinct ordered
pairs have the same first element (x).
Relation – set of all ordered pairs
Domain – set of all x values
Range – set of all y values
The table shows how relations and
functions are the same and how they
are different.
Relations Functions
A relation is a rule that A function is a relation
relates values from a set of where each element in the
values (called domain) to a domain is related to only
second set of values (called one in the range by some
range). rule.
A relation is a set of ordered A function is a set of
pairs (x, y). ordered pairs (x, y) such
that no two ordered pairs
have the same x-value but
different y-values.
RELATIONS
- a relation is a set of pairs of input and output values.
There are four ways to represent relations.
FUNCTIONS
-a function is a set of ordered pairs (x, y) such that no
two ordered pairs have the same x-value but different y-
values.
EXAMPLE: Table of values
FUNCTION NOT A FUNCTION
1. f(x)= {(1,2), (-6,3), (0,7), (9,-8)} 1. f= {(2,1), (2,-6), (7,0), (-8,9)}
2. g(x)= {(0,-1), (2,2), (-8,4), (7,0)} 2. g= {(3,3), (2,2), (3,3), (2,2)}
3. h(x)={(-7,0), (10,5), (8,-2), (- 3. h={(0,-7), (5,10), (-2,8), (0,-
2,7)} 2)}
Note: The highlighted numbers in X are being
repeated.
Functions and relations as a Table of
Values
Which of the following relations are
functions?
1. f = {(-1, 2), (3, -9), (5, 4), (6, 1)}
2. g = {(2, 8), (2, 7), (-7, 5), (-4, 6)}
3. h = {(-9, 8), (5, 9), (4, -6), (5, 4)}
4. i = {(3, 7), (5, 6), (3, 0), (1, 4)}
5. j = {(1, 3), (3, 1), (4, 2), (2, 4)}
Functions and relations as a Mapping
Diagram
Which of the following mapping diagrams represent
functions?
FUNCTION FUNCTION NOT A
FUNCTION
Functions as a graph in the Cartesian
Plane
The Vertical Line Test
A graph represents a function if and only if each vertical
line intersects the graph at most once.
Which of the following graphs can be graph of
functions?

Which of the following relations are
functions?
1. d= {(6, 3), (5, 2), (-3, 5), (-2, 1)}
2. e = {(7, -8), (9, -7), (4, 2), (-2, 6)}
3. f = {(10, 4), (4, 10), (-4, 6), (10, 8)}
4. g = {(9, -2), (0, 5), (2, 9), (0, 4)}
5. h = {(6, 0), (1, 2), (5, 2), (6, 0)}
