The figures above are called arrow diagrams. They show pairing of numbers from one set to the other. This pairing is called a relation. A relation is an association or pairing of some kind between two sets of quantities or information. Figure 1 shows that one element from the first set is associated with more than one element in the second set. See that 0 is paired to two numbers, 1 and 2, respectively; and that 1 is paired to 2. It is called one-to-many relation.
Figure 2 shows that each element in the first set is paired with a unique element in the second set; -2 is paired to -2, -3 is paired to -3, and -4 is paired to -4. It is called one-toone relation. The relation shows that elements of both sets are equal. B = A. Figure 3 shows that some elements in the first set are paired with the same element in the second set. The pairing is called many-to-one relation. The relation shows that the elements of Set B are equal to 5 more than the square of Set A or B = A2 + 5. Figures 2 and 3 above are special kind of relations called functions. A function is a well-defined relation where no two pairs have the same first element. The main characteristics of a function described from set A to set B can be seen in the pairing in figures 2 and 3. 1. Each element in set A is paired with each element in set B. 2. Some elements in set B are not paired with an element in set A. 3. Two or more elements in A may be paired with the same element in B.

1. The perimeter of a square depends upon the length of its side. This shows that the perimeter of a square is a function of its length. Recall that the formula for the perimeter of a square is P = 4s where P = perimeter and s = measure of the side of the square. You can assign a specific value of s for the side and using the formula you will obtain a unique value for the perimeter. s = 3 cm s=2m P= 4(3 cm) = 12 cm P = 4(2 m) = 8 m
The example shows a one-to-one correspondence between the side and the perimeter of a square. 2. The amount you will pay for a long distance call will depend upon the duration of the call. This situation shows that the amount paid for a long distance call is a function of the duration of the call. The computation usually is based on the number of minutes or a fraction of it so that if your call lasted for less than a minute, the amount that you will pay will be for one minute; or if your call is more than 2 minutes but less than 3 minutes, the amount you will pay will be for 3 minutes. Duration 45 seconds 1 minute 1 min & 15 sec 1min & 55 sec 2 minutes Amount to be paid in pesos 8 16
The illustration shows a many-to-one correspondence, hence it is a function. 3. The jeepney fare that a passenger will pay depends upon the distance he or she travels. Distance Fare (in pesos) This shows that jeepney fare is a function of the distance a passenger travels. At present, the LTFRB of the LTO issued that the computation for jeepney fare if P5.50 for the first 4 kilometers and an additional P1.00 for every additional kilometer or a fraction of it. This can be shown in the diagram that follows. .5 km 1 km 3 km 4 km 4.7 km 5 km 5.50
6.50
The diagram shows that the situation shows a many-to-one correspondence. Hence, the situation is a function.
From the examples given, observe that situations in real life that show one-to-one or many-to-one pairings are functions. Hence, you can say that functions in real life are situations that show relationships between variables or quantities in such a way that one variable will depend upon the other.
A set of ordered pairs represents a function if no two ordered pairs have the same first elements or component. Example: Consider the following sets of ordered pairs: A = {(-2, -1), (-1, 0), (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3)} B = {(4, 2), (4, -2), (9, 3), (9, -3), (16, 4), (16, -4)} C = {(-2, 7), (-1, 7), (0, 7), (1, 7), (2, 7)} Set A is a set of ordered pairs where the second element y is one more than the first element x. Observe that the set of ordered pairs shows a one-to-one correspondence or mapping. Hence, the set of ordered pairs illustrates a function. Set B is a set of ordered pairs where a first element is paired to two different second elements. Notice that the pairing is one-to-many. Hence, the set of ordered pairs does not represent a function. Set C is a set of ordered pairs where two different first elements are paired to the same second element. The set of ordered pairs shows many-to-one correspondence. Hence, the set of ordered pairs represents a function. Each of the sets of ordered pairs in the given examples can also be presented using a table (also called a table of ordered pairs). Set A: x y Set B: x y Set C: x y -2 7 -1 7 0 7 1 7 2 7 4 2 4 -2 9 3 9 -3 16 4 16 -4 -2 -1 -1 0 0 1 1 2 2 3

Draw the graph of the set of ordered pairs {(-1, 2), (0, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)} and determine whether the graph represents a function or not. The graph of the given set of ordered pairs is obtained by plotting the set of ordered pairs on the Cartesian Plane. The graph is shown at the right. The domain and the range of the function belong to the set of integers. Therefore, X the graph of the function is discrete (unconnected points).

The graph of the set of ordered pairs represents a function since no two ordered pairs have the same first element. Example 2: Draw the graph of the relation where both domain and range are real numbers and are represented by the following table of ordered pairs. x y -3 6 -2 1 -1 -2 0 -3 1 -2 2 1 3 6
Y
To sketch the graph of the relation, plot the points in the given table of ordered pairs on the Cartesian Plane. Connect the points since the domain and the range belong to the set of real numbers. The graph is shown at the right. It is a symmetrical curve which opens upward. It has a turning point at the point (0,3). The graph of the relation is a function since there are no ordered pairs having the same first element. Example 3:

read as y is a function of x is used. This shows that the value of y depends on the value of x and that f is the rule. The rule is usually an equation which assigns to each x which is an element of the domain a unique value of y which is an element of the range. x is also called as the independent variable and y the dependent variable. Examples: 1. The area and perimeter of a square depends on the measure of its side, According to the rule, P = 4s and A = s2 where P and A stand for perimeter and area of a square, respectively. In functional notation, we say that P(s) = 4s and A(s) = s2. Hence, if s = 3 cm, then P(3 cm) = 4(3 cm) = 12 cm and A(3 cm) = (3 cm)2 = 9 cm2 . If s = 15 m, then P(15 m) = 4(15 m) = 60 m and A(15 m) = (15 m)2 = 225 m2. It can also be said that in y = f(x), x is the input and y is the output. 2. Given f(x) = x2 + 3x 28. Find: a. f(5) b. f(-4) c. f(a)
a. f(5) = 52 + 3(5) 28 = 25 + 15 28 = 12 b. f(-4) = (-4)2 + 3(-4) 28 = 16 -12 -28 = -24 c. f(a) = a2 + 3(a) 28 = a2 + 3a 28 3. Given f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = x2. Find: a. f(x) + g(x) b. g(x) f(x) f (x) e. f(g(x)) d. g( x ) a. b. c. f(x) + g(x) = 3x + 2 + x2 = x2 + 3x + 2 Hence, f(x) + g(x) = (f + g)(x). g(x) f(x) = x2 (3x + 2) = x2 -3x 2 In general, f(x) g(x) = (f g)(x). f(x) g(x) = (3x + 2) x2 = 3x(x2) + 2(x2) = 3x3 + 2x2 Thus, f(x) g(x) = (fg)(x). c. f(x) g(x) f. g(f(x))

To determine whether a given equation represents a function or not, solve for y in terms of x. If x is replaced by a value and a unique value of y is obtained, then the equation is a function. Otherwise, the equation represents a mere relation. Examples: 1. Determine whether the equation x 4y = 3 represents a function or not. Solution: Solve for y in terms of x. x 4y = 3 -4y = -x + 3 x+3 y= or 4 x 3 y= 4
If x is replaced by a value, a unique value for y is obtained. Hence, y is a function of x and so x 4y = 3 represents a function. 2. Determine if the equation x2 + y2 = 49 represents a function or not. If it not, what conditions should be set for it to become a function? Solution: Solve for y in terms of x. x2 + y2 = 49 y2 = 49 x2 y = 49 x 2 Observe that if a value of x is substituted, two values of y will be obtained as indicated by the signs. Therefore, the equation is not a function. Since the equation is not a function, conditions must be set in order to have a function. You use either y=
49 x 2 or y = - 49 x 2 .

Lets summarize
1. A relation is an association or pairing of some kind between two sets of quantities or information. 2. A one-to-many relation is a relation where one element from the first set is associated with more than one element in the second set. 3. A one-to-one relation is a relation where each element in the first set is paired with a unique element in the second set. 4. A many-to-one relation is a relation where the elements in the first set are paired with one element in the second set. 5. Domain is the set of all first elements in a relation. 6. Range is the set of all the second elements in a relation. 7. A function is a well defined relation where no two pairs have the same first element. 8. A set of ordered pairs represents a function if no two ordered pairs have the same first elements or component. 9. The graph of a function is the set of all points on the coordinate plane corresponding to the ordered pairs in the function. If the domain and range of the function is the set of real numbers, the points are connected hence producing a continuous graph. If the domain and the range are not real numbers, then the graph will be discrete, that is, the graph is a series of unconnected points.

10. The vertical line test is a test that shows whether a graph represents a function or not. If a vertical line is drawn through a graph and it passes through the graph at exactly one point, then the graph shows a function. Otherwise, the graph shows a mere relation. 11. y = f(x) read as y is a function of x shows that the value of y depends on the value of x and that f is the rule, usually an equation, which assigns to each element x which is an element of the domain a unique value of y which is an element of the range. 12. In y = f(x), x is called the independent variable while y is called the dependent variable.
