CHARACTERISTICS OF A FUNCTION:
a x
b y
1 5
2 6
Observe that no two ordered pairs have the same first coordinate. Also,
each element of the domain corresponds to a unique element of the range.
The relation is one-to-one, so the set of ordered pairs represents a function.

Example 2
Determine if {(Philippines,Manila), (Indonesia,Jakarta),
(Thailand,Bangkok), (Indonesia,Bali)} represents a function.
Solution: Observe that indonesia is paired with jakarta and bali. An
element of the domain does not have a unique second element. The
correspondence is one-to-many; so two ordered pairs have the same
first coordinate. Therefore, the set of ordered pairs does not
represent a function. Range

FUNCTION
Equation or
formula
To show that the equation represents a function, we need to
demonstrate that for all possible values of x, there corresponds a
unique value of f(x).
Example 3:
Determine if f(x) = 3x2
Solution:
Assign some values for x and compute for the corresponding
values of f(x).

FUNCTION
Equation or
x formula
-2 -1 1 2
f(x) 12 3 3 12
From the table, take note that an input of -2 and 2 gives an output
of 12 and an input of -1 and 1 gives an output of 3. The
correspondence is many-to-one. For every value of x, there
corresponds a unique value of f(x). Therefore, the equation f(x) =
3x2 is a function.
