  2. Objectives • Determine whether relations between two variables are functions. • Use function notation and evaluate functions. • Find the domain of a function. • Use functions to model and solve real life problems. • Evaluate difference qutients.

  3. Two quantities that are related to one another by some rule are called a relation. A function consists of: A set of inputs (the domain or x values) - independent A rule by which each input determines exactly one output A set of outputs (the range or y values) - dependent

  4. Find the domain and range of {(1994, 56.21), (1995, 51.00), (1996, 47.70), (1997, 42.78), (1998, 39.43)} Example Solution The domain is the set of all first components. Thus, the domain is {1994,1995,1996,1997,1998}. The range is the set of all second components. Thus, the range is {56.21, 51.00, 47.70, 42.78, 39.43}.

  5. (a) 1 2 3 4 6 8 9 Figure (a) shows that every element in the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range. No two ordered pairs in the given relation have the same first component and different second components. Thus, the relation is a function. Domain Range (b) Figure (b) shows that 6 corresponds to both 1 and 2. This relation is not a function; two ordered pairs have the same first component and different second components. 1 2 3 4 6 8 9 Domain Range Determine whether the following are functions. a. {(1, 6), (2, 6), (3, 8), (4, 9)} b. {(6,1),(6,2),(8,3),(9,4)} Example Solution We begin by making a figure for each relation that shows set X, the domain, and set Y, the range, shown below.

  6. Characteristics of a Function from Set A to Set B • Each element in A must be matched with an element in B. • Some elements in B may not be matched with an element in A. • Two or more elements in A may be matched with the same element in B. • An element in A cannot be matched with two different elements in B.

  7. Function Representation • Verbally – a sentence • Numerically – a table or list of ordered pairs • Graphically – points on a graph (input,output) • Algebraically – equation in two variables

  8. Examples • Is y a function of x? Pg 68 • Try it: Page 67 – 68 #12, 16, 22, 31, 36

  9. Function Notation f(x) denotes the output produced by the input x also called the value of f at x inputs are the domain or x values outputs are the range or f(x) values

  10. If f (x) = x2 + 3x + 5, evaluate: a. f (2) b. f (x + 3) Example If g (x) = , evaluate: a. g (2+t)

  11. Piecewise Functions • Graphed in pieces. • Each piece has a different domain. Find: a. f(0) b. f(2) c. f(-1)

  12. Finding Domains Find the domain of the functions.

  13. Definition of a Difference Quotient • The expression for h≠0 is called the difference quotient. Find: a. f(x) = (x+3) b. f(x) = (x2+1) c. f(x) = (1/x)

  14. Groups • Pg. 68 – 72 #42, 46, 48, 58, 60, 62, 66, 68, 80, 88, 98, 104,115 – 120. • Homework Pg. 67 – 72 # 4, 6, 7 – 35 0dd, 39, 41, 43, 45, 49, 51, 55, 57, 61, 65, 67, 71 – 81 odd, 87, 95, 103 – 109 odd
