II. PRESENTATION (Lesson Proper)

Lesson: Functions

Definition: 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). Definition: 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. 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
A focal concept of extreme importance in modern mathematics is the idea
of functions.

Functions, which deal with corresponding relationship between the

elements of two sets, are useful concepts throughout the mathematics curriculum.

In the numbers and the number sense, functions appear in the fundamental
operations on the numbers; in algebra, functions take the form of relationships
WIN CHESTER G. PELIGRINO Page 2
General Mathematics Revised: 07/22/20

between variables that represent numbers; in geometry, functions map sets of

points to their images of transformation; and in probability, functions relate events
to their likelihood.

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), … }

The relations f and h are functions because no two ordered pairs have the
same x-value but y-values. Meanwhile, g is not a function because (1, 3) and (1,
4) are ordered pairs with the same x-value but different y-values.

Relations and functions can be represented by mapping diagrams where the

elements of the domain are mapped to the elements of the range using arrows.
In this case, the relation or function is represented by the set of all the connections
represented by the arrows.

Example 2. Which of the following mapping diagrams represent functions?

8 1

Solution.

The relations 𝑓 and 𝑔 are functions because each value 𝑦 in Y is unique for a
specific value of 𝑥. The relation h is not a function because there is at least one
element in X for which there is more than one corresponding y-value. For example,
𝑥 = 7 corresponds to 𝑦 = 11 or 13. Similarly, 𝑥 = 2 corresponds to both 𝑦 = 17 or
19.

A relation between two sets of numbers can be illustrated by a graph in the

Cartesian plane, and that a function passes the vertical line test.

The Vertical Line Test

A graph represents a function if and only if each vertical line intersects the graph
at most once.

Example 3. Which of the following can be graphs of functions?

a. d.

b. e.

WIN CHESTER G. PELIGRINO Page 4

c.

Solution

Graphs a.), b.), c.) are graphs of functions while d.) and e.) are not because they
do not pass the vertical line test.

Important Concepts.
Relations are rules that relate two values, one from a set of inputs and the
second from the set of outputs.
Functions are rules that relate only one value from the set of outputs to a value
from the set of inputs.

Example 4. Identify the domain for each relation using set builder notation.

1. 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 1
2. 𝑦 = 𝑥2 – 2𝑥 + 2
3. 𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 1
4. 𝑦 = √𝑥 + 1
5. 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 1/𝑥 – 1
6. 𝑦 = |𝑥| + 1 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 |𝑥| 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛.

Solution. The domains for the relations are as follows:

1. {𝑥 ∶ 𝑥 € Ɍ}
2. {𝑥 ∶ 𝑥 € Ɍ}
3. {𝑥 ∶ 𝑥 € Ɍ, – 1 ≤ 𝑥 ≥ 1}
4. {𝑥 ∶ 𝑥 € Ɍ, 𝑥 ≥ – 1}
5. {𝑥 ∶ 𝑥 € Ɍ, 𝑥 ≠ 1}
6. {𝑥 ∶ 𝑥 € Ɍ}

Functions as representations of real-life situations.

Functions can often be used to model real situations. Identifying an appropriate
functional model will lead to a better understanding of various 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
