Objectives The student will be able to: 1.  To determine if a relation is a function. 2.  To find the value of a function. SOL: A.7aef Designed by Skip Tyler, Varina High School
Functions A  function  is a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with  exactly one  element of the range. Another way of saying it is that there is  one and only one  output ( y ) with each input ( x ). f ( x ) x y
Function Notation Output Input Name of Function
Determine whether each relation is a function. 1. {(2, 3), (3, 0), (5, 2), (4, 3)} YES, every domain is different! f ( x ) 2 3 f ( x ) 3 0 f ( x ) 5 2 f ( x ) 4 3
Determine whether the relation is a function. 2.  {(4, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (6, 6), (1, 9)} NO,  5 is paired with 2 numbers! f ( x ) 4 1 f ( x ) 5 2 f ( x ) 5 3 f ( x ) 6 6 f ( x ) 1 9
Is this relation a function? {(1,3), (2,3), (3,3)} Yes No Answer Now
Vertical Line Test (pencil test) If any vertical line passes through more than one point of the graph, then that relation is not a function. Are these functions? FUNCTION! FUNCTION! NOPE!
Vertical Line Test NO WAY! FUNCTION! FUNCTION! NO!
Is this a graph of a function? Yes No Answer Now
Given f(x) = 3x - 2, find: 1)  f (3) 2)  f (-2) 3(3)-2 3 7 3(-2)-2 -2 -8 = 7 = -8
Given  h (z) = z 2  - 4z + 9, find  h (-3) (-3) 2 -4(-3)+9 -3 30 9 + 12 + 9 h(-3) = 30
Given g(x) = x 2  – 2, find g(4) 2 6 14 18 Answer Now
