Worksheet: Functions and Piecewise
Functions
Part I: Function or Not a Function
Directions: Determine whether the following relations are
functions or not. Use the three representations: Set of Ordered
Pairs, Mapping Diagram, and Graphing.
A. Set of Ordered Pairs
1. {(2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7), (2, 8)}
2. {(1, 4), (3, 6), (5, 8), (7, 10)}
3. {(0, -1), (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 4), (1, 5)}
4. {(-2, 3), (0, 4), (2, 5), (4, 6)}
B. Mapping Diagram
5. Domain: {1, 2, 3} → Range: {4, 5, 6}
(1 → 4, 2 → 5, 3 → 6)
6. Domain: {a, b, c} → Range: {d, e}
(a → d, b → e, c → d)
7. Domain: {x, y, z} → Range: {7, 8, 9}
(x → 7, y → 7, z → 9)
C. Graphing
8. A graph passes the vertical line test.
9. A graph fails the vertical line test.
10. A graph of a straight line y = 2x + 1.
Part II: Evaluation of Functions
Directions: Evaluate the given functions by substituting the given
values.
1. f(x) = 2x + 3, find f(4)
2. g(x) = x² - 5x + 2, find g(-2)
3. h(x) = 4x - 7, find h(0)
4. f(x) = 3x² + 4x - 1, find f(-1)
5. p(x) = 5x - 2, find p(3x - 1)
Part III: Evaluation of Piecewise Functions
Directions: Evaluate the following piecewise functions at the given
values.
6. [ f(x) =
] Find f(2), f(-1), f(-3)
7. [ f(x) =
] Find f(0), f(2), f(4)
8. [ f(x) =
] Find f(-1), f(0), f(2)
9. h(x) = 2x² + 5x + 2, evaluate h(4x + 1)
10. Given f(x) = 4 - x, find f(3x - 1)
