1.Lesson 1: Functions

Definition: A relation is a rule that relates values from a set of values

(called the domain) to a second set of values (called the range).

Definition: A function is a relation where each element in the domain is

related to only one value in the range by some rule.

A function is a set of ordered pairs (x, y) such that no two ordered pairs
have the same x-value but different y-values. Using functional notation,
we can write f(x)=y, read as “f of x is equal to y”. In particular, if (1,2) is
an ordered pair associated with the function f, then we say that f (2) =
1.

Basis of Comparison Mere relation Function

 Types of Values x Y X y

The ordered pairs No two ordered pairs
(0,1) and (0,-1) have have the same x-
the same x-value. value.

●RELATIONS

-set of ordered pairs (x, y).

●FUNCTIONS

-a relation where in no value of x is repeated

Lesson 2: Evaluating Functions

Evaluating a function means replacing the variable in the

function, in this case x, with a value from the function’s
domain and computing for the result. To denote that we
are evaluating f at a for some a in the domain of f, we
write f(a).

Example: Given the functions f (x)= 3x – 5, find f (4)

Solution: Substitute 4 into the function in place of x.

f (x) = 3(x) -5 = 7.
f (4) = 3(4)-5
f (4) = 12-5
 f (4) = 7
This answer can be thought of as the ordered pair (4,7).
The answer may also be referred so as the image of 4
under f (x).

●To evaluate a function, substitute the input (the given

number or expression) for the function’s variable (place
holder x). Replace the x with the number of expression.
