1. 2 Functions and Graphs · · · Determine whether a correspondence or a relation is a function. Find function values, or outputs, using a formula or a graph. Graph functions. Determine whether a graph is that of a function. Find the domain and the range of a function. Solve applied problems using functions. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Function A function is a correspondence between a first set, called the domain, and

Function A function is a correspondence between a first set, called the domain, and a second set, called the range, such that each member of the domain corresponds to exactly one member of the range. It is important to note that not every correspondence between two sets is a function. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1. 2 - 4

Example Determine whether each of the following correspondences is a function. a. 6 6

Example Determine whether each of the following correspondences is a function. a. 6 6 3 3 0 36 9 0 This correspondence is a function because each member of the domain corresponds to exactly one member of the range. The definition allows more than one member of the domain to correspond to the same member of the range. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1. 2 - 5

Example Determine whether each of the following correspondences is a function. b. Helen Mirren

Example Determine whether each of the following correspondences is a function. b. Helen Mirren The Queen Jennifer Hudson Blood Diamond Dreamgirls Leonardo Di. Caprio The Departed Jamie Foxx This correspondence is not a function because there is one member of the domain (Leonardo Di. Caprio) that is paired with more than one member of the range (Blood Diamond and The Departed). Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1. 2 - 6

Relation A relation is a correspondence between the first set, called the domain, and

Relation A relation is a correspondence between the first set, called the domain, and a second set, called the range, such that each member of the domain corresponds to at least one member of the range. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1. 2 - 7

Notation for Functions The inputs (members of the domain) are values of x substituted

Notation for Functions The inputs (members of the domain) are values of x substituted into the equation. The outputs (members of the range) are the resulting values of y. f (x) is read “f of x, ” or “f at x, ” or “the value of f at x. ” Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1. 2 - 11

Graphs of Functions We graph functions the same way we graph equations. We find ordered pairs (x, y), or (x, f (x)), plot the points and complete the graph. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1. 2 - 14

Finding Domains of Functions When a function f whose inputs and outputs are real

Finding Domains of Functions When a function f whose inputs and outputs are real numbers is given by a formula, the domain is understood to be the set of all inputs for which the expression is defined as a real number. When an input results in an expression that is not defined as a real number, we say that the function value does not exist and that the number being substituted is not in the domain of the function. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1. 2 - 23

Example Find the indicated function values and determine whether the given values are in

Example Find the indicated function values and determine whether the given values are in the domain of the function. a. f (1) Since f (1) is defined, 1 is in the domain of f. b. f (3) Since division by 0 is not defined, f (3) does not exist and, 3 is in not in the domain of f.

Example Find the domain of the function Solution: We can substitute any real number

Example Find the domain of the function Solution: We can substitute any real number in the numerator, but we must avoid inputs that make the denominator 0. Solve x 2 + 2 x 3 = 0. (x + 3)(x – 1) = 0 x + 3 = 0 or x – 1 = 0 x = – 3 or x=1 The domain consists of the set of all real numbers except 3 and 1, or {x|x 3 and x 1}. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Visualizing Domain and Range Keep the following in mind regarding the graph of a function: Domain = the set of a function’s inputs, found on the horizontal axis; Range = the set of a function’s outputs, found on the vertical axis. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 1. 2 - 26
