 FUNCTION
It is a correspondence between two sets
where each element in the domain corresponds RELATION
to exactly one element in range. Any set of
ordered pairs.

ELEMENTS : Members of these sets.

 UNDERSTANDING FUNCTION

Important rule:
1. 𝑓(𝑥) does not mean 𝑓 times 𝑥.
2. The most common function names
are 𝑓 and 𝐹 since the word
function begins with an “𝑓”. Other
common name are 𝑔 and 𝐺, but
any letter can be used.
3. Although we can think
( range ) 𝑦 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓 𝑥 as interchangeable, the
function notation is useful when
we want to consider two or more
functions of the same independent
variable.

 IMPORTANT NOTE
All functions are relations but not all
relations are functions.

Relation Function

one-to-one relation function

many-to-one relation function
one-to-many relation not a function
many-to-many relation not a function
