 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Determine functions and relations

Illustrate functions through mapping

diagrams, sets and graphs
Represent real-life situations using
functions

Functions?
FUNCTION

“special relations”

every x-value must be

associated to only one y-
value.

MAPPING

shows how the elements

are paired

SETS (Roster Notation)
f = {(0,-1), (2,-5), (4,-9), (6,-13)}
Function Not Function

R = {(a,0), (b,-1), (c,0), (d,-1)}

Function Not Function

NO x-value is repeated
SETS (Roster Notation)
g = {(5,-10), (25,-75), (50,-100)}
Function Not Function

It does not indicate a set. It is

simply a listing of ordered pairs.
SETS (Roster Notation)

T = {(-2,0), (-1,1), (0,1), (-2,2)}

Function Not Function

-2 (x-value) is REPEATED
SETS (Roster Notation)

T = {(3,3), (4,5), (5,5), (5,4)}

FUNCTIONS IN REAL LIFE

“Function of one’s height”

A SHADOW
FUNCTIONS IN REAL LIFE

“function of time”

DRIVING A CAR
FUNCTIONS IN REAL LIFE

“function of plants in sunlight”

Plants relay on the amount

of sunlight
Identify whether the relationship that exists
between each of the following pairs indicates
a function or not.

1. A jeepney and its plate number

2. A student and his ID number
3. A teacher and his cellular phone
4. A pen and the color of its ink.
 What You Need To Remember

A relation is a function when every x-value is

associated to only one y-value

You can illustrate functions through graphing,

mapping or sets.

Functions can be seen in our daily lives like

driving a car, length of shadow and many
more
