WARM UP

LESSON: 1.2 Function Notation

It is useful to give a function a name.
The most common name is "f", but we can have other names like "g", "h", etc.

But let's use "f":

Copied from www.mathisfun.com
To evaluate f(a), substitute a for "x" in the equation for f(x).

Example: f(x) = 5x + 2 


a) f(3) = 5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

b) f(4a + 1) = 5(4a + 1) + 2
                    = 20a + 5 + 2
                    = 20a + 7



YOUR TURN
g(x) = 2x^2 - 3x + 1 (Read: 2x squared minus 3x plus 1)


a) g(1) = ?                          b) g(-1) = ?                   c) g(2a-1) = ? 


LESSON: 1.4 Domain and Range

Picture
Domain: The domain is all the values that go into function. In other words, the possible values of x (input values).

How to state Domain
D: {x|x∈R} 
It means  x such that x can be any value in the Real numbers.
"∈" is the symbol meaning "in the set of"


Range: The range is all the values that come out. In other words, the possible values of y (output values).

How to state Range
R: {y|y≥5, y∈R} 
It means y such that y is greater than or equal to 5, where y is a Real number.


Example 1
- State the domain and range of the following relation: (eye color, student's name).
- State whether the relation is a function.

A
 = {(blue,Jacob),(green,Luke),(brown,Parsa),(blue,Sunna),(brown,Jack),(green, Riju)}

Solution

D:{blue, green,brown}
R:{Jacob, Luke, Parsa, Sunna, Jack, Riju}
This is not a function because the eye colours are repeated.



Example 2
- State the domain and range of the following relation: 
- State whether the relation is a function.

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

Solution

Domain: {-2, 1, 3, 4}.
Range: {-3, 3, 5, 7}.
While these listings appear in ascending order, ordering is not required. Do not, however, duplicate an element.
No, this relation is not a function. The x-value of "1" had two corresponding y-values (3 and -3).



Example 3
State the domain and range for the elements matched in the diagram below.
State whether the matches form a function.

Picture

Solution

Domain: {1, 3, 5, 9}.
Range: {2, 7, 8}.
Yes, the relation {(1,2), (3,2), (5,7), (9,8)}is a function. No x-value repeats..



Example 4
State the domain and range associated with the scatter plot shown below.
State whether the scatter plot is a function.

Picture

Solution

Domain: {1,2,3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}.
Range: {2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}.
Yes, this is a function. No x-values repeat, and it passes the Vertical Line Test for functions.



Example 5
State the domain and range associated with the scatter plot shown below.
State whether the scatter plot is a function.

Picture

Solution

Domain: {x|x∈R} x such that x is an element of real numbers.
Range: {y|y≥0, y∈R} y such that y is greater than or equal to 0 and an element of real numbers.
Yes, this relation is a function, since it passes the Vertical Line Test for functions.
