(Each x-value has to be assigned to ONLY one y-value).ExampleIs the relation y = x2 – 2x a function?• Since each element of the domain (the x-values) would produce only one element of the range (the y-values), it is a function.Question: What does the graph of this function look like?Example8642-2-4-6-10-5510fx  = x2-xIs the relation x2 + y2 = 9 a function?• Since each element of the domain (the x-values) would correspond with 2 different values of the range (both a positive and negative y-value), the relation is NOT a function.Check the ordered pairs: (0, 3) (0, -3)The x-value 0 corresponds to two different y-values, so the relation is NOT a function.Question: What does the graph of this relation look like?Example•Relations and functions can also be described by graphing their ordered pairs.•Graphs can be used to determine if a relation is a function.•If an x-coordinate is paired with more than one y-coordinate, a vertical line can be drawn that will intersect the graph at more than one point.•If no vertical line can be drawn so that it intersects a graph more than once, the graph is the graph of a function. This is the vertical line test.ExampleUse the vertical line test to determine whether the graph to the right is the graph of a function.xySince no vertical line will intersect this graph more than once, it is the graph of a function.ExampleUse the vertical line test to determine whether the graph to the right is the graph of a function.xySince no vertical line will intersect this graph more than once, it is the graph of a function.ExampleUse the vertical line test to determine whether the graph to the right is the graph of a function.Since a vertical line can be drawn that intersects the graph at every point, it is NOT the graph of a function.xySince the graph of a linear equation is a line, all linear equations are functions, except those whose graph is a vertical line.An equation of the form x = c is a vertical line and IS NOT a function.ExampleUse the vertical line test to determine whether the graph to the right is the graph of a function.Since vertical lines can be drawn that intersect the graph in two points, it is NOT the graph of a function.xyFind the domain and range of the function graphed (in red) to the right. Use interval notation.xyDomain is [-3, 4]DomainRange is [-4, 2]RangeDetermining the domain and range from the graph of a relation:Example:ExampleFind the domain and range of the function graphed to the right. Use interval notation.xyDomain is (-, )DomainRange is [-2, )RangeExampleFind the domain and range of the function graphed to the right. Use interval notation.xyDomain: (-, )Range: (-, )ExampleFind the domain and range of the function graphed to the right. Use interval notation.xyDomain: (-, )Range: [-2.5](The range in this case consists of one single y-value.)ExampleFind the domain and range of the relation graphed to the right. Use interval notation.(Note this relation is NOT a function, but it still has a domain and range.)Domain: [-4, 4]Range: [-4.3, 0]xyExampleFind the domain and range of the relation graphed to the right. Use interval notation.(Note this relation is NOT a function, but it still has a domain and range.)Domain: [2]Range: (-, )xyProblem from today’s homework:Answer: Domain is {-3, -1, 0, 2, 3} Range is {-3, -2}This relation IS a function.•Specialized notation is often used when we know a relation is a function and it has been solved for y.•For example, the graph of the linear equation y = -3x + 2 passes the vertical line test, so it represents a function. •We often use letters such as f, g, and h to name functions.•We can use the function notation f(x) and write the equation as f(x) = -3x + 2.Note: The symbol f(x), read “f of x”, is a specialized notation that does NOT mean f • x (f times x).•When we want to evaluate a function at a particular value of x, we substitute the x-value into the notation.•For example, f(2) means to evaluate the function f when x = 2. So we replace x with 2 in the equation.•For our previous example when f(x) = -3x + 2, f(2) = -3(2) + 2 = -6 + 2 = -4.•When x = 2, then f(x) = -4, giving us the ordered pair (2, -4).ExampleGiven that g(x) = x2 –
