Relation, Function and Linear Function

The document defines relations and functions. A relation is any subset of the cross product of two sets A and B. A function is a special type of relation where each element of set A is mapped to exactly one element of set B. The domain of a function is the set of all permissible inputs, while the range is the set of all possible outputs. Linear functions are functions of the form f(x) = mx + b, where m and b are real numbers. Their graphs are straight lines. Constant functions have the form f(x) = c, where c is a real number. Their graphs are horizontal lines.

CHAPTER 1

Relations and
Functions
Cross Product
Let A and B be sets.
The cross product of A and B, denoted by
A x B is the set of all ordered pairs (x, y)
such that x e A and y e B.

Notation:
A x B = {(x, y), x eA and y e B}

Examples:
1.
2.
Relations
A relation from A to B is any
nonempty subset of A x B .
1. Any set of points in the rectangular
Cartesian coordinates is a relation.
Examples:
A = {(1,2),(3,5),(4,6),(8,9)}

B = {(1,0),(2,0),(1,5)}
2.
Equation and inequality are relations.
3. Tables, graphs and mappings also
represent relations.
Functions
Definition:
A function f from A to B is a relation from A to B
where to each a e A, there corresponds exactly
one b e B.
Alternative Definition:
A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two
ordered pairs have the same first component.

1.
Examples: Identify which of the following
are functions.
A = {(1,2),(3,5),(4,5),(8,9)}

B = {(1,0),(2,0),(1,5)}

C = {(1,3),(1,5),(2,5),(3,1),(4,-1)}

D = {(-1,2),(1,3),(2,3)}
2.
Vertical Line Test
Given the graph of a relation, if
any vertical line constructed
intersects (or passes) the graph
in at most one point, then the
relation described by the graph
is that of a function.
Domain and Range
Consider the function
The set of all x such that is
the domain of f, denoted by
The set of all y such that is
the range of f, denoted by
The domain is also defined as the set of
all permissible values of x and
range as the set of all corresponding
values of y.
Domain and Range
Examples:
1. A = {(1,2),(3,5),(4,5),(8,9)}

Domain: {1, 3, 4, 8} Range:{2, 5, 9}

Functions
Two main types of functions:
Algebraic functions those functions that can
be obtained by a finite combination of constants
and variables together with the four basic
operations, exponentiation, or root extractions.
Transcendental functions those that are not
algebraic.

How do we sketch the graph of a
linear function?
Its enough to sketch a line using any 2
points.

We can use
y-intercept: the value of y when x=0
x-intercept: the value of x when y=0
Note:
y-intercept: the value of y when x=0
x-intercept: the value of x when y=0
Thus , if , then
y-intercept: -4
