A relation in which each elementof the domain corresponds to exactly one element of the range
Ordered pair relations
Relation F (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 5), (4, 5) - is a function
Relation G (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 7) - is not a function
Relation H (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (n, 3n) - is a function
Identifying functions from ordered pairs
Each x-value (domain) corresponds to only one y-value (range)
Mapping diagrams
Diagram 1 - is a function
Diagram 2 - is not a function
Diagram 3 - is a function
Vertical line test
A graph represents a function if and only if each vertical line intersects the graph at most once
Graphs
Graph 1 - is a function
Graph 2 - is not a function
Graph 3 - is not a function
Equations
y = 2x + 1 - is a function
x^2 + y^2 = 1 - is a function
x^2 + y - 4 = 0 - is a function
y = sqrt(x + 1) - is a function
y = 2x + 1 / (x - 1) - is a function
x^2 + y^2 = 1 - is not a function
Vertical line test
A method to determine if a graph represents a function
Vertical line test
Small alum points
Tata man one two three four five six
A big civilian that is not a function
Function
A relationship where each input has exactly one output
How to identify if a graph is a function or not
1. Digitized Salus representation
2. Use equation
Equations to determine if they represent a function
y = 2x + 1
x^2 + y^2 = 1
x^2 + y - 4 = 0
y = x^2 - 2x + 2
y = √(x + 1)
y = 2x + 1 / (x - 1)
Linear equation
A function because the graph is a straight line
Quadratic equation
A function because the graph is an upward parabola
Rational equation
A function because the graph has no vertical asymptotes
x^2 + y^2 = 1 is not a function
How to determine if x^2 + y^2 = 1 is a function
1. Solve for y in terms of x
2. Use the square root method
Functions can be represented using ordered pairs
How to check if a set of ordered pairs represents a function
Use the vertical line test
Mapping diagrams can also represent functions
Graphs can also represent functions
Examples of graphs
Graph 1: Not a function
Graph 2: Function
Equations that represent functions
y = 2x + 1
y^2 + x^2 = 9
y^2 + x^2 = 9 is not a function
Function
A set of ordered pairs where the first element (the input) determines the second element (the output). A rule that takes an input and gives a corresponding output.
Equation
A statement that two expressions are equal, typically involving variables, constants, and mathematical operations.
