Activity 1: OBJECTS’ POSITION

Directions: Describe the location of each point below by

completing the following table. One example is done for you.
 What is Relation?
A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x, y) where x
is the input and y is the output value. The
domain is all possible input values of a relation,
and the range is all possible output values of a
relation.
Relation can be represented in many ways,
including as ordered pairs, in a table, as a graph,
and a mapping diagram.
A. Ordered Pair
Example 1
•The given relation represents
the number of boxes of candy
sold and the money earned.
{(1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 12), (4, 16)}
•Domain: {1, 2, 3, 4}
•Range: {4, 8, 12, 16}
 Daily Waste
An average adult generates about 4
kg of waste daily. This table shows
how the number of adults affects the
amount of waste generated daily.

QIII QIV
 What is a Function?
 Some relationships make sense
and others don’t. Function is a
relationship that makes sense. A
function is a relation that for
each input (all possible values
of x), there is only one output
(all possible values of y).
 Function can be represented in
many ways, including as
ordered pairs, in a table, as a
graph, and a mapping diagram.
Note: “All functions are relation, but not all relations are function”.
 Relations and Functions
“Every function is a relation, but not every relation is a function”

Which of the following relation is/are function(s)?

a. x y b. x y c. x x

3 25
3 6 8 16
4
 one-to-many many-to-one one-to-one

Solutions: The one-to-one and many-to-one

relations satisfy the definition of a function. A
one-to-many relation is NOT a function since a
value of x is mapped more than one value.
 Vertical Line Test

If a vertical line crosses the graph of a

relation in more than one point, the
relation cannot be a function. If no
vertical line crosses the graph in no
more than one point, then the graph is
a graph of a function.
Example 3:

State whether each of the following graph

represents a function.

Graph of a FUNCTION.
State whether each of the following graphs
represents a function.

Graph of a FUNCTION.
 State whether each of the following graphs
represents a function.

NOT a Graph of a FUNCTION.
