Objectives
 Identify the domains and ranges of discrete and continuous relations
 Determine whether a given relation is a function, using the vertical
line test when applicable
 Show how the domain of a function is related to its graph
 Determine an appropriate domain for a function modeling a real-
world situation
Functions
 Play Video

A relation pairs one set of information with

another set of information.
Domain Range
the set the set
of all of all
values values

 Defining a Function
 A function is a relation in which each value of the
domain is paired with exactly one value of the
range.

Look back on the table. Is the relation a function?

Ordered Pairs and Functions
 {(2,0), (3,-2), (3,-1), (4,1), (5,5)}
 Domain

 Range

 Does this relation represent a function?

Mapping Diagrams
Does this mapping diagram represent a function?
What are the domain and range of the relation in this
mapping diagram?
 Vertical Line Test
If you can draw a vertical line on a
graph that passes through more than
one point, the graph does not represent
a function

 Watch animation
Use the vertical line test
 Independent and Dependent Variables

Dependent
Independent Variable is
Variable is determined by
the input the value of
variable in the
function independent
variable
Independent and Dependent Variable

 When you work h hours, you are paid d dollars.

 A baby that is m months old weighs w pounds.

 Mark repairs and sells used bicycles. His profit is determined

by the number of bicycles he sells.

 Julio recorded how many miles he had driven his car and the
number of gallons of gasoline he used.
Function Notation
A music service charges $15 per month for a
subscription. The independent variable is the
number of months, m. The function, C(m), is the total
cost of subscribing for m months.
The function is C(m) = 15m
Find the cost of subscribing for 7 months.
Check Your Understanding
Kaya kicks a soccer ball straight up in the air. The height of the ball, h,
depends on the time it has been in the air, t.

What is the independent variable?

What function notation represent the situation?

 Absolute Value

Is this a function?

What is the domain and

range?

What is the function

notation?

Domain and Range
Which value of x is in the domain of
 ?

 A. 12
 B. 9
 C. 5
 D. 0
Real-World Application

The domain of the function does not include negative values, because?
The domain of the function is?
Another Example

Andre works at a bank. He earns more per hour for

overtime pay if he works more than 40 hours in one
week.
Suppose he can work
a maximum of
60 hours each week
and is interested in
finding
His weekly earnings
only if he works
overtime. What is the
domain of that part of
the function?
