FUNCTIONS AND RELATIONS

A relation is any set of ordered pairs.

Domain (x) – the set of all first components of the
ordered pairs
Range (y) - the set of all second components of the
ordered pairs
Suppose we have to find the domain and range of
the following relations.
1. {(1,3), (2,4), (5,7), (6,8)}
2. {(-2,4), (-1,1), (-2,0),(1,5), (2,-2)}
3. {(3, 2), (5, -2), (4,1), (7, -2), (8, 2)}
A function is a relation defined as a set of
ordered pairs (x,y) where no two or more
distinct ordered pairs have the same first
element (x).
 Let’s Apply!
Identify whether the relationship that exists
between each of the following pairs indicates a
function or not.
a. A jeepney and its plate number
b. A student and his ID number
c. A teacher and his cellular phone
d. A pen and the color of its ink.

FUNCTIONS
Objectives:
1. determine the types of functions
2. determine the domain and range of the
functions
Let’s review!
 BASIC TYPES OF FUNCTIONS
1. CONSTANT FUNCTION

-is a function of zero – degree

that are of the form
f(x) = c, c ≠ 0
Example: f(x) = 5
 BASIC TYPES OF FUNCTIONS

2. LINEAR FUNCTION

-is a function of first – degree

polynomial that are of the
form
f(x) = c1x + cn , cn ≠ 0
Example: f(x) = 2x + 5

3. QUADRATIC FUNCTION
-is a function of first – degree
polynomial that are of the form
2
f(x) = ax + bx + c
where a, b and c are real nubers
and a ≠ 0
Example: f(x) = x2
 BASIC TYPES OF FUNCTIONS
4. RATIONAL FUNCTION
-is the quotient of two
polynomial functions that are of
the form f(x) = g(x), h(x) ≠ 0
h(x)
Example: f(x) = x + 7
x–1
 BASIC TYPES OF FUNCTIONS
5. POWER FUNCTION
-is a function of the form f(x) = xn

Example: f(x) = x 3

6. ABSOLUTE VALUE FUNCTION

-is a function of the form f(x) = /x/
Example: f(x) = /x + 2/
 BASIC TYPES OF FUNCTIONS
7. POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION
-is any function f(x) of the form
f(x) = cnxn + cn-1 xn-1 +… + c1x + c0
8. GREATEST INTEGER FUNCTION
-is a function f(x) of the form
f(x) = [x]. The value [x] is the
greatest integer that is less than or
equal to x.
