Study Notes
Relations and Functions
In mathematics, relations and functions play a key role in understanding how variables interact with each other. They are used to represent relationships between different sets of data, and can be represented visually using graphs.
Domains
The domain of a relation is the set of all possible input values that can be mapped by the relation onto its corresponding output value. It represents the first element of ordered pairs present in the relation. In the context of functions, the domain refers to the set of all real numbers that can be mapped into the function's range. For example, if we define the relation as {(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)}, then the domain would be {1, 3, 5}.
Range
The range of a relation or function refers to the set of all possible output values produced by mapping inputs from the domain onto them. It represents the second element of ordered pairs present in the relation. The range can also be visualized on the graph of the relations as the set of all points where the curve intersects with the horizontal axis.
Function Notation
Function notation provides a convenient way to represent and work with functions mathematically. In this notation, a function is represented as a letter followed by parentheses containing the input variable. For example, if we define a function f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1, then f represents the function, x represents the input, and the expression inside the parentheses represents the corresponding output value for any given input x. This notation allows us to more easily analyze and manipulate a wide variety of mathematical problems involving functions.
