In these lessons, we will look at ordered-pair numbers, relations and an introduction to functions.
Ordered-Pair Numbers
An ordered-pair number is a pair of numbers that go together. The numbers are written within a
set of parentheses and separated by a comma.
For example, (4, 7) is an ordered-pair number; the order is designated by the first element 4 and
the second element 7. The pair (7, 4) is not the same as (4, 7) because of the different ordering. Sets
of ordered-pair numbers can represent relations or functions.
Relation
A relation is any set of ordered-pair numbers.
The following diagram shows some examples of relations and functions. Scroll down the page for
more examples and solutions on how to determine if a relation is a function.
Function
A function is a relation in which no two ordered pairs have the same first element. A function
associates each element in its domain with one and only one element in its range.
Example:
Determine whether the following are functions
a) A = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}
b) B = {(1, 3), (0, 3), (2, 1), (4, 2)}
c) C = {(1, 6), (2, 5), (1, 9), (4, 3)}
Solution:
a) A = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)} is a function because all the first elements are different.
b) B = {(1, 3), (0, 3), (2, 1), (4, 2)} is a function because all the first elements are different. (The second
element does not need to be unique)
c) C = {(1, 6), (2, 5), (1, 9), (4, 3)} is not a function because the first element, 1, is repeated.
A function can be identified from a graph. If any vertical line drawn through the graph cuts the
graph at more than one point, then the relation is not a function. This is called the vertical line test.
Determining Whether a Relation is a Function
Understanding relations (defined as a set of inputs and corresponding outputs) is an important
step to learning what makes a function. A function is a specific relation, and determining whether a
relation is a function is a skill necessary for knowing what we can graph. Determining whether a relation
is a function involves making sure that for every input there is only one output.
B. Determine whether the following are functions. Write FUNCTION or NOT FUNCTION
_________a) A = {(2, 6), (3, 7), (4, 8), (5, 9)}
_________b) B = {(2, 3), (5, 3), (2, 1), (4, 2)}
_________c) C = {(2, 6), (3, 5), (1, 9), (4, 3)}
LESSON 2.8
“DOMAIN AND RANGE”
Suppose the weights of four students are shown in the following table.
The pairing of the student number and his corresponding weight is a relation and can be written as a set
of ordered-pair numbers.
W = {(1, 120), (2, 100), (3, 150), (4, 130)}
The set of all first elements is called the domain of the relation.
The domain of W = {1, 2, 3, 4}
The set of second elements is called the range of the relation.
The range of W = {120, 100, 150, 130}
Examples:
1. R = {(2, 5), (4, 10), (6, 15), (8, 20)} Range: R = {9, 8, 7, 6}
Domain: R = {2, 4, 6, 8} 3. W = {(2, 5), (6, 2), (4, 6), (3, 5)}
Range: R = {5, 10, 15, 20} Domain: R = {2, 6, 4, 3}
2. G = {(1, 9), (2, 8), (3, 7), (4, 6)} Range: R = {5, 2, 6, 5}
Domain: R = {1, 2, 3, 4}
PERFORMANCE TASK AND WRITTEN OUTPUT #2.2.2
Directions: Write the domain and range of the following sets of ordered pairs.
1. J = {(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 6)}
2. E = {(7, 11), (8, 12), (9, 13), (10, 14)}
3. S = {(14, 10), (13, 9), (12, 8), (11, 7)}
4. U = {(6, 2), (5,1), (4, 0), (3, 4)}
5. S = {(2, 1), (5, 4), (7, 3), (9, 2)}
Guidelines
1. Choose a minimum of two input values.
2. Evaluate the function at each input value.
3. Use the resulting output values to identify coordinate pairs.
4. Plot the coordinate pairs on a grid.
5. Draw a line through the points.
Example:
Graph
2
𝑓 (𝑥) = − 𝑥 + 5 by plotting points.
3
Begin by choosing input values. This function includes a fraction with a denominator of 3 so let’s
choose multiples of 3 as input values. We will choose 0, 3, and 6.
Evaluate the function at each input value and use the output value to identify coordinate pairs.
Plot the coordinate pairs and draw a line through the points. The graph below is of the function 𝑓 (𝑥 ) =
2
− 𝑥+5
3
HOW TO: GIVEN THE EQUATION FOR A LINEAR FUNCTION, GRAPH THE FUNCTION USING THE
Y-INTERCEPT AND SLOPE.
1. Evaluate the function at an input value of zero to find the y-intercept.
2. Identify the slope.
3. Plot the point represented by the y-intercept.
𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒
4. Use 𝑟𝑢𝑛
to determine at least two more points on the line.
5. Draw a line which passes through the points.
EXAMPLE: GRAPHING BY USING THE Y-INTERCEPT AND SLOPE
Graph f(x) = − x + 5 using the y-intercept and slope.
2
Evaluate the function at x = 0 to find the y-intercept. The output value when x = 0 is 5, so the graph will
cross the y-axis at (0, 5).
2
According to the equation for the function, the slope of the line is − 3. This tells us that for each
vertical decrease in the “rise” of –2 units, the “run” increases by 3 units in the horizontal direction. We
can now graph the function by first plotting the y-intercept. From the initial value (0, 5) we move down 2
units and to the right 3 units. We can extend the line to the left and right by repeating, and then draw a
line through the points.
LESSON 1.10
“DETERMINES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HYPOTHESIS AND THE CONCLUSION OF
AN IF-THEN STATEMENT.”
Statements 1 and 3 are written in the “if-then” form. The hypothesis of Statement 1 is “you work
overtime.” The conclusion is “you’ll be paid time-and-a-half.” Statement 2 has the hypothesis after the
conclusion. If the word “if” is in the middle of the statement, then the hypothesis is after it. The
statement can be rewritten: If the weather is nice, then I will wash the car. Statement 4 uses the word
“when” instead of “if” and is like Statement 2. It can be written: If I win the lottery, then I will be a
millionaire. Statement 5 “if” and “then” are not there. It can be rewritten: If a triangle is equiangular,
then it is equilateral.
Examples
Example 1
Determine the hypothesis and conclusion: I'll bring an umbrella if it rains.
Hypothesis: "It rains." Conclusion: "I'll bring an umbrella."
Example 2
Determine the hypothesis and conclusion: All right angles are 90∘.
Hypothesis: "An angle is right." Conclusion: "It is 90∘."
Example 3
Use the statement: I will graduate when I pass Calculus.
Rewrite in if-then form and determine the hypothesis and conclusion.
This statement can be rewritten as If I pass Calculus, then I will graduate. The hypothesis is “I
pass Calculus,” and the conclusion is “I will graduate.”
Example 4
Use the statement: All prime numbers are odd.
Rewrite in if-then form, determine the hypothesis and conclusion, and determine whether this is
a true statement.
This statement can be rewritten as If a number is prime, then it is odd. The hypothesis is "a
number is prime" and the conclusion is "it is odd". This is not a true statement (remember that not all
conditional statements will be true!) since 2 is a prime number but it is not odd.
Example 5
Determine the hypothesis and conclusion: Sarah will go to the store if Riley does the laundry.
The statement can be rewritten as "If Riley does the laundry then Sarah will go to the store."
The hypothesis is "Riley does the laundry" and the conclusion is "Sarah will go to the store."
LESSON 1.11
“INVERSE, CONVERSE AND CONTRAPOSITIVE OF THE STATEMENT”
In middle school, you learned that positive and negative integers have opposite signs. In science,
you learned that up and down are opposite directions. With conditional statements, sometimes the
opposite of a hypothesis and conclusion happens. Those statements are called the inverse of a
conditional statement.
Navigators and pilots will often respond “negative” over the radio to answer a question, “no.” You
have seen this in movies and television shows. Using the word “negative” in this sense indicates an
opposite response. In Geometry, we call that opposite response negation.
Definition: The negation of a statement is stating the opposite meaning of the original statement.
The negation of a true statement is false, and the negation of a false statement is true.
Examples:
Statement: Texas is the Lone Star State. (This is the true statement.)
Negation: Texas is NOT the Lone Star State. (This is the false statement)
The inverse of a conditional statement is when both the hypothesis and conclusion are negated; the “If”
part or p is negated and the “then” part or q is negated.
Converse Statement
Sometimes, conditional relationships are true in both directions. It is true that the hypothesis
causes the conclusion, but it may also be true that if the conclusion occurs first, then the hypothesis
could result. That sort of reversal is called a converse.
Definition:
The converse of a conditional statement is created when the hypothesis and conclusion are reversed.
• In Geometry the conditional statement is referred to as p → q.
• The Converse is referred to as q → p.
In other words, the events of the conditional statement are reversed.
CONTRAPOSITIVE STATEMENT
The contrapositive of a conditional statement is a combination of the converse and the inverse.
The “If” part or p is replaced with the “then” part or q and the “then” part or q is replaced with the “If”
part or p. After that, both parts are negated.
• In Geometry the conditional statement is referred to as p → q.
• The Contrapositive is referred to as ~q → ~p.
