A function is a relationship or correspondence between two sets of numbers, in which each member of the first set (called the  domain ) corresponds to one an only one member of the second set (called the  range ). Function, Domain, and Range
Domain Range X Y f x 2 x 1 x 3 y 2 y 1 y 3 Mapping
Functions? State the domain and range. Function Domain: {-2, 3, 5} Range: {1, -2, 7} Function Domain: {-4, 1, 6} Range: {1, -8} Not A Function
Determine which of the following relations represent functions. Not a function Function Function
Vertical-Line Test If every vertical line intersects a given graph at no more than one point, then the graph represents a function. function not a function
x y Not a function. Function?
x y Function.
Function Notation f (x) f is the name of the function x is the variable into which we substitute values or other expressions x  is called the  independent variable  and  f ( x ) is the  dependent variable . Does Not Mean  f  times  x. Read: “f of x”
Evaluating Functions Let  f ( x )=2 x  – 3   and  g ( m ) =  m 2 – 2 m  + 1. Determine: a.)  f (-3)   c.)  f ( 1/2 ) b.)  g (-2) d.)  g ( a  + 1)
Modeling With Functions Example 1  Express the surface area of a cube as a function of its volume. Example 2  A Norman window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. If the perimeter of the window is 30 ft, express the area A of the window as a function of the width  x  of the window.
