Intro to Function 1

The document outlines key concepts of functions, including their representation, evaluation, and problem-solving techniques. It discusses the criteria for determining if a relation is a function, provides examples of functions and their domains and ranges, and introduces real-life applications such as distance traveled and population growth. Additionally, it explains piecewise functions and the vertical line test for identifying functions in graphical form.

Example 1

{(0, 5),(1, 4),(2, 3),(3, 2),(4, 1),(5, 0)}

•What is the domain?


{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
What is the range?
{-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}
Example 2

Input 4 –5 0 9 –1

Output –2 7

•What is the domain?


{4, -5, 0, 9, -1}
•What is the range?
{-2, 7}
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
Is a relation a function?
•Focus on the x-coordinates, when given a relation

If the set of ordered pairs have different x-coordinates,


it IS A function

If the set of ordered pairs have same x-coordinates,


it is NOT a function

•Y-coordinates have no bearing in determining


functions
Example 3
{(0, 5),(1, 4),(2, 3),(3, 2),(4, 1),(5, 0)}

•Is this a function?


•Hint: Look only at the x-coordinates

YES
Example 4
{(–1, 7),(1, 0),(2, 3),(0, 8),(0, 5),(–2, 1)}

•Is this a function?


•Hint: Look only at the x-coordinates

NO
How to represent functions?
1. By ordered pairs
2. By table of values
3. By mapping
4. By graph/equation
Example 5
Which mapping represents a function?

3 –1 2 2
1 2 –1 3
0 3 3 –2
0

Choice 1
Example 6
Which mapping represents a function?

A. B.

B
16
Vertical Line Test

Would this
graph be a
function?

YES
18
Vertical Line Test

Would this
graph be a
function?

NO
Examples of Real-life Situations Represented Using
Functions

Distance Traveled

distance = speed x time

• distance(t) is the distance traveled at time t.


• speed is the constant speed of the car (60 miles per hour in this case).
• time is the time elapsed in hours.
Examples of Real-life Situations Represented Using
Functions

Population Growth:

Population = initial_population * e^(growth_rate * time)


P(t) = 𝑃𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑥 𝑒 𝑟𝑡
PIECEWISE FUNCTION
A piecewise function is a function that is defined by two or
more equations where each equations applies to a certain
interval over a specified domain.
