Understanding Functions and Domains

1. A function is a relation that relates each element from a set of inputs (domain) to exactly one element of a set of outputs (range). 2. The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values. It is restricted by things like radicals having non-negative radicands and fractions having non-zero denominators. 3. Evaluating a function involves calculating the output value (y or f(x)) by substituting specific input values (x) into the function.

1 RELATION 6 COMPOSITION OF FUNCTION

- It is a rule that relates values from a set of values • Combine two or more functions.
(called the domain) to a second set of values (called the
range). • It is created when one function is substituted
into another function.
- Any set of ordered pair.
Steps:
Ex: (𝑥, 𝑦)
- Write the function.
DOMAIN - The set of all the first coordinates. - Substitute the value of the second function.
(Function inside the open & close parenthesis)
RANGE - The set of all the second coordinates. - Substitute g(x) to f(x). (All domain “x” of the 1st
FUNCTION function change it into the value of the 2nd
function)
It is also relation wherein each member of the first set - Simplify
or domain, corresponds to exactly one element of the
second set or range. RATIONAL EXPRESSIONS
