RELATIONS
IS A RULE THAT RELATES VALUES FROM A SET OF VALUES (CALLED THE
DOMAIN) TO A SET OF VALUES (CALLED THE RANGE)
THE ELEMENT OF THE DOMAIN CAN BE IMAGINED AS INPUT TO A MACHINE
THAT APPLIES A RULE THESE INPUTS TO GENERATE ONE OR MORE OUTPUTS
A RELATION IS ALSO A SET OF ORDERED PAIRS (X, Y)
FUNCTIONS
IS A RELATION WHERE EACH ELEMENT IN THE DOMAIN IS RELATED TO ONLY
ONE VALUE IN THE RANGE BY SOME RULE
THE ELEMENT OF THE DOMAIN CAN BE IMAGINED AS INPUT TO A MACHINE
THAT APPLIES A RULE SO THAT EACH INPUTS CORRESPONDS TO ONLY ONE OUTPUT
A FUNCTION IS A SET OF ORDERED PAIRS (X,Y) SUCH THAT NO TWO ORDERED
PAIRS HAVE THE SAME X-VALUE BUT DIFFERENT Y VALUES

GRAPHING RELATION
1. PLOT THE FOLLOWING ORDERED PAIRS (-3,3), (1,-
2), (1,1), (4,4)
2. PLOT THE FOLLOWING ORDERED PAIRS (-3,3),
(1,1), (3,1), (4,-2)
3. PLOT THE FOLLOWING ORDERED PAIRS (-2,2),
(1,4),(2,3),(-2,-4)
PLOT THE FOLLOWING ORDERED PAIRS (-3,3), (1,-2), (1,1),
(4,4)
“The relation is not a function because two points are lie
on same vertical line.”
PLOT THE FOLLOWING ORDERED PAIRS (-3,3),
(1,1), (3,1), (4,-2)
“The relation is a function because NO two points are lie on same
vertical line.”
PLOT THE FOLLOWING ORDERED PAIRS (-2,2),
(1,4),(2,3),(-2,-4)
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING
REPRESENT A FUNCTION
•
1. Y = 2X + 1
2. Y = − 2XSS + 2
3. X2 + Y2 = 1
FUNCTION AS A
REPRSENTATION OF
REAL LIFE SITUATION
Functions can often be used to model real
situations. Identifying an appropriate functional
model will lead to a better understanding of
various phenomena.
EXAMPLE
1. Give a function C that can represent cost of buying x meals, if one meal
cost 4o pesos
2. The monthly wage (y) of an employee is related to the number of hours the
employee worked (x). The employee work for 8 hours a day in a month, if
the monthly wage is 10,000.00, how much is the rate per hour?
3. The basic charge is 15.46 per cubic meter and the other charges amount to
38.39, and x is the amount of water consumed, then y = 15.46x +38.39. If
the total charge is 4,326. How many cubic meter of water consumed?
