1.1 Functions
1. Function is a special relation where ________________ element in the domain is mapped to
_________________ element in the codomain.
2. There are 4 types of relation. A function is either _________________ relation or ______________
relation.
3. Function can be written as g : x ↦ 3 x−1 or g ( x )=3 x−1.
4. A function can be represented using:
a) Arrow diagram
b) Ordered pairs
c) Graph
Example: Represent the following function between the given sets using arrow diagram, ordered pairs and
graphs.
