Functions

The document discusses functions and their properties. It provides examples of evaluating functions at given values of x and determining if a relation is a function or not. It also gives examples of using functions to model real-life situations like the cost of buying meals. Finally, it evaluates two functions g and r at given values based on the definitions provided in an earlier example.

Learning Outcomes
• Represent real life situations using functions including
piecewise functions
• The learner is able to evaluate functions and solve
problems involving functions
• The learner is able to perform addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, composition of functions, and
solve problems involving functions
• A relation is a rule that relates values from a set
of values (called the domain) to a second set of
values (called the range).
• A relation is a set of ordered pairs (𝒙, 𝒚)
• A function is a relation where each element in
the domain is related to only one value in the
range by some rule
• 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
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 • Using functional notation, we can write 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑦, read as “f of x is equal to y.” In particular, if
(1, 2) is an ordered pair associated with the
function f, then we say that 𝑓(2) = 1
• 𝑓 𝑥 =2
• 𝑦=2
• All functions are relations but not all relations
are functions.
Example 1.
Which of the following relations are functions?
• 𝑓 = {(𝟏, 2), (𝟐, 3), (𝟑, 5), (𝟒, 7)}
• 𝑔 = {(𝟏, 3), (𝟏, 4), (𝟐, 5), (𝟐, 6), (𝟑, 7)}
• ℎ = {(𝟏, 3), (𝟐, 6), (𝟑, 9), … , (𝑛. 3𝑛), … }

Evaluating a function means
replacing the variable in the
function, in this case 𝑥, with a
value from the function's
domain and computing for the
Evaluating result. To denote that we are
evaluating 𝑓 at a for some a in
Functions the domain of 𝑓, we write 𝑓(𝑎).

• Functions can often be used to model
Real life real situations. Identifying an
Situations appropriate functional model will lead
to a better understanding of various
(Function) phenomena.
• Example 5. Give a function C that can
represent the cost of buying 𝑥 meals,
if one meal costs 𝑃40.
• Solution. Since each meal costs P40, then
the cost function is 𝐶(𝑥) = 40𝑥
• 𝐶 3 = 40 3 = 120
