Definition of Relation Relation – a set of ordered pairs, which
contains the pairs of abscissa and ordinate. The first number in each ordered pair is the x-value or the abscissa, and the second number in each ordered pair is the y-value, or the ordinate.
Domain is the set of all the abscissas, and
range is the set of all ordinates.

Definition of Function Function – a characteristic of set of
values where each element of the domain has only one that corresponds with it in the range. It is denoted by any letter of the English alphabet.
The function notation f(x) means the value of function f using the independent number x.

Example 1a. Given the ordered pairs below, determine
if it is a mere relation or a function.
(0,1) , (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (7, 8)
Answer: For every given x-value there is a
corresponding unique y-value. Therefore, the relation is a function.

Evaluation of Functions
![Page 9: 08 functions and their graphs - part 1 - revised](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062510/5445f30aafaf9ff32a8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Example 2.
If f (x) = x2 + 3x + 5, evaluate:
a. f (2) b. f (x + 3) c. f (-x)
Solution a. We find f (2) by substituting 2 for x in the equation.f (2) = 22 + 3 • 2 + 5 = 4 + 6 +
5 = 15
Thus, f (2) = 15.
![Page 10: 08 functions and their graphs - part 1 - revised](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062510/5445f30aafaf9ff32a8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Example 2.
Solutionb. We find f (x + 3) by substituting (x + 3) for x in the equation.
f (x + 3) = (x + 3)2 + 3(x + 3) + 5
If f (x) = x2 + 3x + 5, evaluate: b. f (x + 3)
Equivalently,
f (x + 3) = (x + 3)2 + 3(x + 3) + 5 = x2 + 6x + 9 + 3x + 9 + 5 = x2 + 9x + 23.

Example 2.
Solutionc. We find f (-x) by substituting (-x) for x in the equation.
f (-x) = (-x)2 + 3(-x) + 5
If f (x) = x2 + 3x + 5, evaluate: c. f (-x)
Equivalently,
f (-x) = (-x)2 + 3(-x) + 5 = x2 –3x + 5.

Sum, Difference, Product, and Quotient of Functions
Let f and g be two functions. The sum, the difference, the product , and the quotient are functions whose domains are the set of all real numbers common to the domains of f and g, defined as follows:
Sum: (f + g)(x) = f (x)+g(x)
Difference: (f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)
Product: (f • g)(x) = f (x) • g(x)

The Composition of Functions
The composition of the function f with g is denoted by f o g and is defined by the equation
(f o g)(x) = f (g(x)).
The domain of the composite function f o g is the set of all x such that x is in the domain of g and g(x) is in the domain of f.
![Page 19: 08 functions and their graphs - part 1 - revised](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062510/5445f30aafaf9ff32a8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Example 5a.Given f (x) = 3x – 4 and g(x) = x2 + 6,
find: a. (f ○ g)(x) b. (g ○ f)(x) Solution a. We begin with (f o g)(x), the composition of f with g.
Because (f o g)(x) means f (g(x)), we must replace each occurrence of x in the equation for f by g(x).
f (x) = 3x – 4(f ○ g)(x) = f (g(x)) = 3(g(x)) – 4
= 3(x2 + 6) – 4 = 3x2 + 18 – 4 = 3x2 + 14
Thus, (f ○ g)(x) = 3x2 + 14.
![Page 20: 08 functions and their graphs - part 1 - revised](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062510/5445f30aafaf9ff32a8b46fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Solution b. Next, we find (g o f )(x), the composition of g with
f. Because (g o f )(x) means g(f (x)), we must replace each occurrence of x in the equation for g by f (x). g(x) = x2 + 6
(g ○ f )(x) = g(f (x)) = (f (x))2 + 6 = (3x – 4)2 + 6 = 9x2 – 24x + 16 + 6 = 9x2 – 24x + 22
Notice that (f ○ g)(x) is not the same as (g ○ f )(x).
Example 5a.Given f (x) = 3x – 4 and g(x) = x2 + 6, find: a. (f ○ g)(x) b. (g ○ f)(x)

Answers:a. (f ○ g)(x) = x + 5b. (g ○ f)(x) = x + 5
c. (f ○ f)(x) = x - 4
d. (g ○ g)(x) = x + 14

Graph of a Function If f is a function, then the graph of f is the set of
all points (x,y) in the Cartesian plane for which (x,y) is an ordered pair in f.
The graph of a function can be intersected by a vertical line in at most one point.
Vertical Line Testo If a vertical line intersects a graph more than once, then
the graph is not the graph of a function.

Minimum and Maximum: Quadratic Functions
Consider f(x) = ax2 + bx +c.
1. If a > 0, then f has a minimum that occurs at x = -b/(2a). This minimum value is f(-b/(2a)).
2. If a < 0, the f has a maximum that occurs at x = -b/(2a). This maximum value is f(-b/(2a)).
