    “a —— XN (Calculus—I) MATHEMATICAL FUNCTIONS DIFFERENTIATION (Calculus—II) p INTEGRATION | CHAPTER MEANING, DEFINITIONS aN s FUNCTION ID CHARACTERISTICS OF A meaning By the term “function”, we mean the relationship between any two variables like, supply and price, sine and distance, volume and freight etc. which are so related with each other that for any value of one fthem, there corresponds a definite value for the other, and thus the second variable is said to be the fonction of the first one, For example, distance is a function of time or speed, freight is a function of solume of the goods consigned, 4 is the squaring function of 2 etc. A function always explains the nature of corespondence between some variables which can be indicated by some formula, graph or mathematical equation. It is a special type of relation in which each element of the first set is related to ne and only one element of the second set. In other words, it is a subset of some ordered pairs, such that for each element xe A there is a unique cement ye B. However, the term ‘function’ is a Latin word which means some operation. The concept of function was introduced in mathematics for the first time by the German Mathematician, Leibnitz (1646- 1716). It plays an important role in the field of mathematics basing-on which many mathematical devices Tike, calculus have developed. Defit From the above discussion, the term, ‘function’ may be defined in various ways as under : ions 1. “A function is a relationship between two real values, x and y, Which are so related that corresponding to every value of x we get a finite value of y, whereby y is said to be a function ofx”. 2. “Given, A and B any two non-empty sets, a function from A to B is a relation in which to every element of A there corresponds a unique element of B.” 3. “Given, A and B any two non-empty sets, a function from A to B is a subset of A x B such that no ordered pair in fhas the same first entry.” ‘Mathematica Lg th.
