A relation in which each x in the domain is paired with one and only one y in the range
Independent variable
The variable x whose value determines the value of the dependent variable y
Dependent variable
The variable y whose value depends on the value of the independent variable x
Domain
The set of all values of the independent variable x
Range
The set of all values of the dependent variable y
Types of relations
One-to-one
Many-to-one
One-to-many
Many-to-many
If a mapping diagram of a relation is one-to-one or many-to-one, then the relation is also called a function
Examples of relations classified as functions or not
{(-4,2), (-2,-3), (3,-1), (6,0), (8,-3)} is a function
{(-2, 1), (0, 2), (0, -2), (7,3)} is not a function
{(7, 4), (1, 6), (-3, 8)} is not a function
{(x, 2x+1)} is a function
Rule ofafunction
The expression that describes the relationship between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y in all the ordered pairs (x, y) of the function
Calculating distance
Distance = rate x time, or d = rt, where d is the distance, r is the rate, and t is time
Area of a rectangle
Area = length x width, or A=lxw, where A is area, l is length, and w is the width of the rectangle
Nita's garden dimensions
Width = 2 meters
Length l = w
Length l = 3w
Length l = w+2
Circumference of a circle
The independent variable is the variable representing the circle, the dependent variable is the circumference
Sales function
The function expresses the amount of sales A in terms of the number of T-shirts sold p. The independent variable is p, the dependent variable is A.
A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x, y). The set of values of x is called the domain and the set of values of y is called the range.
A relation may be presented using an equation or a mapping diagram. A mapping diagram may be one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many.
A function is a relation in which each x in the domain is paired one-to-one and many-to-one with one and only one y in the range.
The set that describes a function is called the rule of the function. This rule describes the relationship between x and y in all the ordered pairs (x, y) of the function.
