Relation
Set or collection of ordered pairs
Range
Set of all y or output values
Function
a relation from a set of inputs to a set of possible
outputs where each input is related to exactly one
output.
If the variables are x and y, then y can be determined for
some range of values x. We call this, y as a function of x
denoted by
y = f(x)
FUNCTION
Examples:
• f(2) = 2² + 3 = 7
• f(0) = 0² + 3 = 3
• f (u-1) = (u-1)² + 3 = u² - 2u + 4
FUNCTION
Examples:
• f(0) = 0² – 0 + 3 = 3
• f(-2x) = (-2x)² – (-2x) + 3
• f(2) = 2²– 2 + 3
= 4x² + 2x + 3
=4–2+3 =5
• f(-4) = (-4)² - (-4) + 3
= 16 + 4 + 3 = 23
