OUR
GOALS
 
represents real-life situations using functions, including
piece-wise functions. (M11GM-Ia-1 )

evaluates a function. (M11GM-Ia-2 )

performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and

composition of functions (M11GM-Ia-3 )

solves problems involving functions. (M11GM-Ia-4 )

 
 
 QUESTIONS
•What is a function?

•What are the characteristics of a function?

•How do you determine if a relation is a function?

•How is a function different from a relation?

•Why is it important to know which variable is the

independent variable?
WHAT IS
A “a function is…a
FUNCTI relation in which every
ON ? input has exactly one
output”
 A relation between two
variables x and y is a set
of ordered pairs
relation
 Focus on the x-coordinates,
when given a relation

Is a If the set of ordered pairs has different

x-coordinates,
relation a it IS A function
function? If the set of ordered pairs has same
x-coordinates,
it is NOT a function

Y-coordinates have no bearing in determining

functions
What makes this a relation?

{(0, 5), (1, 4), ( 2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1), (5, 0)}

What is the domain?

{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
What is the range?
{-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}

Is this a relation?
Input 4 –5 0 9 –1

Output –2 7

What is the domain?

{-2, 7}
{(0, 5), (1, 4), ( 2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1), (5, 0)}

 Vertical Line Test
Vertical Line Test: a relation is a function if a vertical line
drawn through its graph, passes through only one point.

AKA: “The Pencil Test”

Take a pencil and move it from left to right (–x to x); if it
crosses more than one point, it is not a function
