1 introduction to Functions Relations and Functions The elements of the set X = (1, 2, 3, 4) are associated with the elements of the set ¥ = (3, 5, 7, 9) as depicted by the arrow diagram shown below. This association between X and ¥ is called a retetion from X to ¥. ‘The relation between the element 1 of X and the element . ae 3 of Vis depicted by 1 +> 3. This indicates that Lis the 1) —» 3 starting element and 3 is the ending element and thus we {2-15 may say that I is mapped to 3. Similarly, we have ( 3p 7 2 + 5,3 b> 7 and 4 +9 9, The relation satisfies the Niger te Ne / ¥ ¥ following condition: each element x of X is mapped to exactly one element y of ¥ This relation is called a function or a mapping. A funetion from X to ¥ is a relation which maps each, element x € X toa unique element y € Y. ‘The diagram below shows anothet relation from X to ¥. ‘We have: Sones TLIIT ‘The element 1 is mapped to two elements of ¥. Is this relation a function? 196 Functions 15. Variables x and y are known to be related by an equation of the form axy ~ b = a(x! + bs), where a and b are constants. Observed values of the two variables are shown in the following table: [equ |e aa . Sil ert | 250 | 2.67 U lt Plot xy — 37 against x and use the graph to estimate (a) the value of y when x = 1.5, (b) the values of a and b. 16, The following values of x and y arc believed to obey a law of the form x"y* = 200, ‘where m and n ate constants 7 eal etal eos fe ta y eres ere | aca [nae z Eland Rewrite the given law in a form suitable for drawing a straight line graph.

F205, 1237 .and F499 “The element 3 is called the image of 1. Similarly, 5, 7 and 9 are images of 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Fauhermore, any element x of X is related to an element y of Y by the rule y= 2x +L ‘Therefore, the function can be simply defined by using the rule as fixty, wherey=2x+! or 4 fixe ee.
