Study Notes
Relations and Functions
- A relation is a set of ordered pairs that associates elements from one set to another.
- A function is a special type of relation where each input (first element in the ordered pair) has exactly one output (second element in the ordered pair).
Identifying Functions
- A relation expressed as a set of ordered pairs is a function if no two ordered pairs have the same first element but different second elements.
- In a graph, a function can be identified using the vertical line test. If any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is not a function.
Domain of a Function
- The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values for which the function is defined.
