FUNCTION
RELATION
❑Any set of ordered pairs.
❑The domain of a relation is
the set of first coordinates.
❑The range is the set of
second coordinates.

FUNCTION
❑A kind of relation in which
each element of the
domain corresponds to
exactly one element of the
range.
FUNCTION
❑The members of the
domain can be called
inputs and the members
of the range can be called
outputs.
ALL FUNCTIONS are
relation but NOT
ALL RELATIONS are
function.

 CHARACTERISTICS IN
IDENTIFYING A FUNCTION
1. Each element in domain X must be
matched with exactly one element in
range Y.
2. Some elements in Y may not be
matched with any element in X.
3. Two or more elements in X may be
matched with the same element in Y.
 OTHER WAYS IN
IDENTIFYING A FUNCTION

1. Mapping Diagram
2. Table of Values
3. Equations
4. Graph
 MAPPING DIAGRAM
❑ An image of two circles that
shows the relationship
between the input and output
values.
 TABLE OF VALUES
❑ A set of ordered pairs usually
resulting from substituting
numbers into an equation
(relation).
 EQUATIONS
❑ The rule or correspondence can be
described by the equation 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 1.
2

❑ If an equation is solved for y and

more than one value can be obtained
for a particular value of x, then the
equation does not define y as a
function of x.
 EQUATIONS
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 −4=0
2 2
𝑥 +𝑦 =4 Add 4 to both sides
2 2
𝑦 =4−𝑥 Subtract 𝑥 2 from both sides

𝑦 = ± (4 − 2
𝑥 ) Apply the square root method
 REMINDER:
When finding the domain and range of a function
involving:

❑ Radical with an even index

• Radicand must be non-negative. Hence,
the radicand must be greater than or
equal to zero.
❑ Fraction
• Denominator must not be equal to zero.
 GRAPH
VERTICAL LINE TEST
❑A graph represents a function if and
only if no vertical line intersects the
graph in more than one point.
 GRAPH
VERTICAL LINE TEST
 GRAPH
VERTICAL LINE TEST
Thus, y is a
function of x.

VERTICAL LINE TEST
 GRAPH
VERTICAL LINE TEST
Thus, y is not a
function of x. Two
values of y
correspond to an x-
value.
