Learning Competencies : Distinguishes functions from relations Illustrates functions/relations using arrow diagram, ordered pairs, table of values, graphs, equations, and real-life situations.
FUNCTION: A function is defined as a relation where each element in the domain is related to ONLY ONE value in the range by some rule.
RElation : It 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 set of ordered pairs .
ORDERED PAIR: An ordered pair is a pair of numbers written in a particular order, (x, y) Domain/Input Range/Output
FUNCTION: A function is defined as a relation where each element in the domain is related to ONLY ONE value in the range by some rule.
ExAMPLE : A= {(1 ,2), (3, 5), (-1, 1), (2, 0)} B= {(3,-1), (4, 2), (3,5 ), (1, 6)} TIP: Simply look at the value of “x”. If the elements of the domain are used only once (no same x-values), then the given set of ordered pairs is a function.
A= {(1 ,2), (3, 5), (-1, 1), (2, 0)} B= {(3,-1), (4, 2), (3,5 ), (1, 6)} Which of the following is a Function? Function Not Function
Important Concept A relation is a function if each x-coordinate (input) is related or paired to exactly one y-coordinate (output). Using a functional notation, a function is written as f(x)=y
