Relation

1. Relation Def: A relation is any set of ordered pairs. Ex) { ( 2, 3), ( 4, -3), ( 5, 9), ( 3, 2) } Def: The Domain (Input) of a relation is the set of all x values. D = { 2, 4, 5, 3 } Def: The Range (Output) of a relation is the set of all y values. R = { 3, - 3, 9, 2 }

2. Function Def: A Function is a relation in which each value in the domain gives ( Corresponds to) only one value in the range. Ex) { ( 3, 2), ( 5, 4), ( 9, 11), ( 5, 20) } Not a Function. x = 5 corresponds to y = 4 and y = 20.

3. Determine if the relation is a function. Ex) { ( 2, 3), ( 4, -3), ( 5, 9), ( 3, 2) } Yes, the relation is a function. Ex) { ( -4,5), ( 7, 11), ( 0, 1), ( 3, 5)} Yes, the relation is a function. Ex) { ( 3,0), (-1, 7), ( 6, 11), (-1, 2)} No, the relation is not a function. Domain: { -1, 3, 6} Range: { 0, 2,7, 11}

4. Functions can be represented using: • Relation or Set of ordered pairs. { ( 1, 1), ( 2, 4), (3, 9), (0, 0 ), ( -1,1), ( 2,4),(-3, 9) } 2) Graph 3) Equations Not all sets of ordered pairs, graphs or equations are functions. To be a function, the set of ordered pairs, graph or equation must satisfy the definition given earlier.

5. Functions as Equations { ( 1, 1), ( 2, 4), ( 3, 9), ( 4, 16)} Can you write an equation that describes the relationship between the x and y values? y = x² If x = 5, then y = 5² = 25. An ordered pair was created. ( 5, 25) If x = -7, then y = ( -7)² = 49. An ordered pair was created ( -7,49)

6. Functions can have different relationships between the x and y Ex ) { ( 1, 3), ( 2, 5), ( 3, 7), ( 4, 9)} y = 2x + 1 Ex) { ( 7, 4), ( 8, 5), ( 9, 6), ( 10, 7)} y = x - 3

7. Function Notation We now use a new symbol to represent y, the range value. We introduce the symbol y = f(x) The symbol is read “ f of x” f(x) means the y value that is created by using a specific x value as input.

8. Let’s use f(x) = 2x + 1 The x inside the parentheses is the domain value. The symbol f(x) is the range value. The expression 2x + 1 tells us what we need to do to the domain value, in order to get our range value. The entire symbol 2x + 1, represents a ______ value.

9. Evaluate each expression below Using f(x) = x³ , evaluate • f( 4) Using f(x) = -3x – 2, evaluate • f( -3) b) f( t ) Using f(x) = x², evaluate • f(x – 3) b) f( x – h) Using f(x) = x² - 2x, evaluate a) f( x – h ) b) f( x ) c) f( x – h ) – f(x)

10. Does the Equation represent y as a function of x ? Let’s look at the equation x = y² If this equation represents a function, then if we plug in a value for x, then it should produce only one value for y. Let x = 4. This gives 4 = y² and so y = 2 or y = -2 No, x = y² does not represent y as a function of x.

11. More examples Ex) x² + y² = 25 Ex) Ex Ex)

12. Evaluating the Difference Quotient The Difference Quotient for functions is defined to be Evaluate the difference quotient for • f(x) = 3x + 1 b) f(x) = x² • f(x) = x² - 2x d) f(x) = - 4x • Answers: • 3 • 2x+h • 2x + h – 2 • d) - 4

13. Finding Domains for functions written as Equations If we have the function { ( 1, 5), ( 3, 7), (-2,0)}, then Domain = { 1, 3, -2} and Range = { 5, 7, 0} What would it mean if I asked you to find the domain for the function To find the Domain for a function when it is written as an Equation, means to find all real x values that will produce real y values.

14. Let’s look at Let’s plug x values into the function and see what happens? Consider the x values as Input and the y values as Output. Ask yourself. What x values produce y values that are real? These are the values we want to include in the domain. Ask yourself. What x values produce y values that are not real? These are the values we want to exclude from the domain. Write the answer using interval notation.

15. How do you get Nonreal y values? • Dividing a number by zero, produces a nonreal y value. For example: 7/0 = not real or undefined • Taking the square root of a negative number. For example: is the same as ?² = - 4

16. Domains Find the domain for each function below. Write the answer using interval notation. f(x) = 3x + 2

17. Graphs of Nonfunctions The relation is not a function. { ( 1,2), ( 3, -2), ( -1, 4), ( 1, -2)} Let’s plot these points on the coordinate system. What do we notice?

18. The two points (1,2) and ( 1, -2) have the same x value but different y value. They lie on the same vertical line.

19. Graphs of Functions The relation is a function { (-3, 2), ( -2, 1), ( -1, -3), ( 0, 2), ( 1, 3), (2,0), ( 3, -2) } Let’s plot these points on a coordinate system. What do we notice?

20. This graph represents a function because you cannot find two points that lie on the same vertical line.

26. f(x) is called an even function. The graph is symmetric with respect to the y –axis. Notice: f(2) = f( -2) = 3 f(4) = f( -4) = 1 Lastly, to be an even function means that f (x) = f( - x )

27. This function is an odd function. This means that the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin. Notice: f(2) = 3 and f( -2) = -3 f(5) = 2 and f( -5) = -2 In other words, f( -2) = - f( 2) = - ( 3) = -3 f(- 5) = - f( 5) = -( 2) = -2 If a function is odd, this means f(-x) = - f(x)

28. An x- intercept is a point where a graph crosses the x- axis. All x – intercepts are points with y = 0 ( - 3, 0) and ( 2, 0) A y – intercept is a point where the graph crosses the y – axis. All y – intercepts are points with x = 0. ( 0, 4)

29. Intervals of Increase or Decrease increasing decreasing We say that f(x) is increasing on the interval ( -6, 0). We say f(x) is decreasing on the interval ( 0, 4). When determining intervals of increase or decrease, we read the graph from left to right. In other words, let the x values get larger.
