REPRESENTATIONS

OF RELATIONS AND
FUNCTIONS
A function is a relation where
there is no repetition of the
first element.
1. ORDERED PAIRS
The relationship between time and pay is an
example of a function.
Example:
Time(hr) x 2 4 6 8 10

Pay(Php) y 200 400 600 800 1000

2. MAPPING
A correspondence may be classified as one-to-
one, many-to-one, or one-to-many.

3. RULE/EQUATION
1.Among the types of correspondence, which
ones are functions? Why?
2.Does one-to-one correspondence between
elements always guarantee a function?
How about one-to-one? Justify your answer.
3.Does one-to-many correspondence between
elements always guarantee a function?
Justify your answer.
Tell whether the following relations as function
or not.
Tell whether the following relations as
function or not.
1.y = 3x+9
2.x + y =16
2 2

3.(-1,2), (1,3), (1,5), (2,7)

4.(0,6), (-3,4), (3,5), (4,0), (6,-3)
Determine whether the following relations as
functions or not.
1.(-6,-4), (-4,-2), (-1,0) , (1,1), (4,2),

GROUP ACTIVITY
If a kilo of mango costs ₱120, how much are 2
kilos? 3 kilos? 4 kilos? 5 kilos?
Express this relation by:
a.) ordered pairs;
b.) mapping; and
c.) through equation.

Determine if it describes a function.

 GENERALIZATION
A function is a relation where there is no repetition of the
first element.
A correspondence may be classified as one-to-one, many-
to-one, or one-to-many. It is one-to-one if every element
in the domain is mapped to a unique element in the
range; or many-to-one if any two or more elements of the
domain are mapped to the same element in the range; or
one-to-many if each element in the domain is mapped to
any two or more elements in the range.
EXERCISE
True or False
1.All functions relations.
2.Some relations are functions.
3.A many-to-one correspondence is a function.
4.A one-to-one correspondence is a relation.
5.A relation is a function if there is a repeated
value in the first element.
ASSIGNMENT
1.On a piece of an oslo paper, draw a figure
illustrating a relation and label it with
function or not function.
2.Define the following:
a. Dependent variable
b.Independent variable
