Relations and Functions

Standard: UNDERSTAND that a function is a rule that

assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph
of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of
an input and the corresponding output.

Note: Function notation is not required in Grade 8.

 A ________
relation is a set of __________________.
ordered pairs

Relation = { (3,5),(-2,8),(-3,8),(0,-6) }

domain is the ______

The ________ set of ______
x values.

range
The ________ set
is the ______ y
of ______ values.
EXAMPLE

Relation = { (3,5),(-2,8),(-3,8),(0,-6) }

Domain: { ____, ____, ___, ____}

Range: {____ , ___, ____}

EXAMPLE

Relation = { (3,5),(-2,8),(-3,8),(0,-6) }

-3 ____,
Domain: { ____, -2 ___,
0 ____}
3

Range: {____ , ___, ____}

EXAMPLE

Relation = { (3,5),(-2,8),(-3,8),(0,-6) }

-3 ____,
Domain: { ____, -2 ___,
0 ____}
3

Range: {____
-6 , ___,
5 ____}

Three other ways to represent a relation:

1. Mapping:

3. Graph:
Example 1: Represent the following relations as a set of ordered pairs.

-2 -3
0 2
5 7
6

{ (-2, 2) (0, -3) (5, 7) (6, 7) }

{ (2,0) (-2,2) (-2,-2) (-6, 2)}
 x y
-3 0
-1 -2
0 3
2 -7
4 4

{ (-3,0) (-1,-2) (0,3) (2,-7) (4,4) }

A ___________
function is a relation in which no number in the

_________
domain is __________.
repeated (the x-value can not

repeat)

Functions can be represented four different ways:

1. ______________
mapping

2. ______________
graph

3. ______________
table

4. ______________
set of ordered pairs
Example 2: Represent the following function as a mapping, graph, and table.

{(7,4),(-3,6),(5,8),(4,3),(1,-3)}

-3 -3
1 3
4 4
5 6
7 8

C

Will all vertical lines cross the graph

at only one point?
YES. Each x is only used once.
D

Will all vertical lines cross the

graph at only one point?

YES. Each x is only used once.

E

Will all vertical lines cross the

graph at only one point?

NO. x =-3 is used twice.

F

Will all vertical lines cross the

graph at only one point?

NO. x =-2 is used three times.

-4 1

Are all x values used only once?

NO. x = - 4 is used twice.
