1 Relations and
Functions
In this chapter, you will learn:
What a function is.
Review domain and range.
Linear equations.
Slope.
Slope intercept form y = mx+b.
Point-slope form y – y1 = m(x – x1).
Linear regression.
What is a function?
FUNCTION FUNCTION
A function is a special type of
relation in which each type of
domain (x values) is paired of
with exactly one range
value (y value).

Relations and Functions
Suppose we have the relation { (-3,1) , (0,2) , (2,4) }
-3 1
0 2
2 4
-1 5
1 3
4 5
FUNCTION
NOT ONE – TO – ONE
Relations and Functions
Suppose we have the relation { (5,6) , (-3,0) , (1,1) , (-3,6) }
5 0
-3 1
1 6
NOT A FUNCTION
Domain and Range
Just -5 or {-5}
Domain = ________________
Range = _________________
All y – values or (-∞ , ∞)
Example 3
From -6 on up or [-6 , ∞)
Domain = ________________
Range = _________________
All y – values or (-∞ , ∞)
Example 5
3 (5) + 1 = 16
f( 5) = ____________________
3 (13) + 1 = 40
f( 13) = ____________________
3 (-11) + 1 = -32
f( -11) = ____________________
Example 2
f(x) = x² + 3x - 5
5² + 3 (5) – 5 = 35
f( 5) = ____________________
0² + 3 (0) – 5 = -5
f( 0) = ____________________
4² + 3 (4) – 5 = 23
f( 4) = ____________________
