Algebra 4-6 Functions Functions A function is a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range. Functions Harbour
2
Identify Functions Determine whether the relation is a function. Explain. Answer: This is a function because the mapping shows each element of the domain paired with exactly one member of the range. Example 6-1a
3
Identify Functions Determine whether the relation is a function. Explain. x y –7 –12 –4 –9 2 –3 5 Answer: This table represents a function because the table shows each element of the domain paired with exactly one element of the range. Example 6-1b
4
Identify Functions Determine whether {(–5, 2), (–2, 5), (0, 7), (0, 9)} is a function. Explain. Answer: This relation is not a function because the element 0 in the domain is paired with both 7 and 9 in the range. Example 6-1c
5
Identify Functions Determine whether each relation is a function. Explain. a. Answer: This mapping represents a function since, for each element of the domain, there is only one corresponding element in the range. Example 6-1d
6
Identify Functions Y X b. c. {(3, 0), (1, 2), (4, 0), (5, –1)} –1 3 –4
–2 1 Y X Answer: This relation is not a function because the element 3 in the domain is paired with both 2 and –1 in the range. Answer: This is a function because the mapping shows each element of the domain paired with exactly one member of the range. Example 6-1d

Algebra 4-6 Functions Functions You can use the vertical line test to see if a graph represents a function. If no vertical line can be drawn so that it intersects the graph no more than once, then the graph is a function. If a vertical line can be drawn so that it intersects the graph at two or more points, the relation is not a function. Functions Harbour

One way to perform the vertical line test is to use a pencil.

Equations as Functions
Determine whether is a function. Graph the equation. Since the graph is in the form the graph of the equation will be a line. Place your pencil at the left of the graph to represent a vertical line. Slowly move the pencil to the right across the graph. At this vertical line passes through more than one point on the graph. Answer: The graph does not pass the vertical line test. Thus, the line does not represent a function. Example 6-2a
