    The document defines relations and functions. A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x,y) that relates values from one set (the domain) to another set (the range). A function is a special type of relation where each x-value is mapped to only one y-value. Three examples of relations are given and it is explained which ones are functions based on this definition. Relations and functions can also be represented using mapping diagrams, with examples given of diagrams that do and do not represent functions.

    Function

    Definition: A relation is a rule that relates values from a set of values (called
    the domain) to a second set of values (called the range).

    A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x, y).

    Definition: A function is a relation where each element in the domain is related to


    only one value in the range by some rule.

    A function is a set of ordered pairs (x, y) such that no two ordered pairs have the
    same x-value but different y-values. Using functional notation, we can write f(x) = y,
    read as "7 of x is equal to y." In particular, if (1, 2) is an ordered pair associated with
    the function f, then we say that f(2)= 1.

    Example: Which of the following relations are functions?

    f = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, -5), (4, 5)}

    g = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5), (2, -6), (3, 7)}

    h = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), …, (n, 3n), …}

    Solution:

    The relations f and h are functions because no two ordered pairs have the same x-
    value but different y-values. Meanwhile, g is not a function because (1, 3) and (1, 4)
    are ordered pairs with the same x-value but different y–values.

    Relations and functions can be represented by mapping diagrams where the


    elements of the domain are mapped to the elements of the range using arrows. In
    this case, the relation or function is represented by the set of all the connections
    represented by the arrows.

    Example: Which of the following mapping diagrams represent function?


    Solution:

    a. The relation is not a function because the first element in the domain have
    mapped with more than one element in the range. If one element in the domain
    mapped with more than one element in the range, the mapping is called one-to-
    many relation.

    b. The relation is a function since each element of the range is paired with exactly
    one element of the domain and it is called one-to-one mapping.

    c. The relation is a function because the second element of the range associates with
    more than one element in the domain. If the element(s) in range that have mapped
    more than one element in the domain is called many-to-one mapping

    Correction: 

    b. q(x) = x2 - 3x + 2
    b. q(1) = (1)2 - 3(1) + 2=1 - 3 + 2 = 0

    a.given: f(x - 1)

    b. f(3x - 1) = 2x + 1
    = 2(3x - 1) + 1
    =6x - 2 + 1
    = 6x - 1
