Relations and Functions What is the difference between a relation and a function?
Four Ways To Represent a Function
Coordinate System yaxis
1. Graph
Quadrant II
2. Equation
Coordinate Point
Quadrant I
(2, 5) ordered pair
3. Table
xaxis origin
4. Mapping Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
Mapping
Interval Notation
{(7,3), (3,5), (6,19), (8, 2), (3, 5)}
x
y 2
3 Mapping – illustrates how each member of the domain is 3 3 (Note: List domain paired with each member of the range 6 and range values once each, in order.) 7 8

Vertical Line Test • Vertical line test – If any vertical line passes through more than one point of the graph, the relation is not a function.

Can you identify domain & range from the graph? • Look horizontally. What xvalues are contained in the graph? That’s your domain! • Look vertically. What yvalues are contained in the graph? That’s your range! Write domain and range using interval
Domain: set of all values of x Range: set of all values of y
• Always write the domain and range in interval notation when reading the domain and range from a graph. • Use brackets [ or ] to show values that are included in the graph. • Use parentheses ( or ) to show values that are NOT included in the graph.

Finding Intercepts • xintercept: where the function crosses the xaxis. What is true of every point on the xaxis? The yvalue is ALWAYS zero.
• yintercept: where the function crosses the yaxis. What is true of every point on the yaxis? The xvalue is ALWAYS zero.
• Can the xintercept and the yintercept ever be the same point? YES, if the function crosses through the origin!
