Lesson 1
The language of relation and function 4. Find f(k+2) given that f(x) = -x2 + 3x + 5
f(k+2) = - (k+2)(k+2) + 3(k+2) + 5
Relation - is any set of ordered pair numbers f(k+2) = - k2 - 2k - 2k - 4 + 3k + 6 + 5
(x,y) f(k+2) = -k2 -4k - 4 + 3k + 6 + 5
Function - It can be defined as a rule that relates f(k+2) = -k2 - k + 7
every element in one set
Domain - A set of all input or first values of a
function
Range - A set of all output or second values of a
function
Examples:
Identify the domain and range of the following
then check whether function or not.
1. { (-2,3) , (4,5) , (6,5) , (-2,3) }
Domain are -2,4,6
Range are 3,5
Not a function
2. { (1,5),(1,5),(3,-8),(3,-8),(3,-8)}
Not a function
3. { (1,1) , (2,2) , (3,1) , (4,2) , (5,1) , (6,7) }
Function
4. { (-3,-1) , (2,0) , (5,1) , (3,-8) , (6,-1) }
Function
5. { (5,0) , (0,5) , (8,-8) , (-8,8) , (0,0)}
Not a function
Evaluating Function
Example:
1. Write y = x2 + 4x + 1 using function
notation and evaluate at x=3
f(x) = x2 + 4x + 1
f(3) = 32 + 4(3) + 1
f(3) = 9 + 12 + 1
f(3) = 22
2. Evaluate f(x) = 3(2x+1) when x = 4
f(4) = 3 (2 (4) +1)
f(4) = 3 (8 +1)
f(4) = 3 (9)
f(4) = 27
3. Write y = -2x2 + 4x - 3 in function notation
and find f (2a+3)
f(2a+3) = -2(2a+3)(2a+3) + 4(2a+3) - 3
f(2a+3) = -2(4a2 + 6a + 6a + 9) + (8a+12) -
3
f(2a+3) = -2( 4a2 + 12a + 9) + 8a +12 -3
f(2a+3) = -8a2 -24a - 18 + 8a + 12 -3
f(2a+3) = -8a2 - 16a - 9
