Function
A function is a correspondence between a first set, called the domain, and a second set, called the range, such that each member of the domain corresponds to exactly one member of the range.
It is important to note that not every correspondence between two sets is a function.

ExampleDetermine whether each of the following correspondences is a function.
This correspondence is a function because each member of the domain corresponds to exactly one member of the range. The definition allows more than one member of the domain to correspond to the same member of the range.

The QueenBlood DiamondDreamgirlsThe Departed
This correspondence is not a function because there is one member of the domain (Leonardo DiCaprio) that is paired with more than one member of the range (Blood Diamond and The Departed).

RelationA relation is a correspondence between the first set, called the domain, and a second set, called the range, such that each member of the domain corresponds to at least one member of the range.

Determine whether each of the following relations is a function. Identify the domain and range.b. (–2, 5), (5, 7), (0, 1), (4, –2)
Is a function. No two ordered pairs have the same first coordinate and different second coordinates.
Domain is the set of first coordinates: –2, 5, 0, 4. Range is the set of second coordinates: 5, 7, 1, –2.
Example
Determine whether each of the following relations is a function. Identify the domain and range.a. (9, 5), (9, 5), (2, 4)
Not a function. Ordered pairs (9, –5) and (9, 5) have the same first coordinate and different second coordinates.
Domain is the set of first coordinates: 9, 2. Range is the set of second coordinates: –5, 5, 4.

Notation for Functions
The inputs (members of the domain) are values of x substituted into the equation. The outputs (members of the range) are the resulting values of y.
f (x) is read “f of x,” or “f at x,” or “the value of f at x.”
Example
a. f (0)f (0) = 2(0)2 − 0 + 3 = 0 – 0 + 3 = 3
b. f (–7)f (–7) = 2(–7)2 − (–7) + 3 = 2 • 49 + 7 + 3 = 108
A function is given by f(x) = 2x2 x + 3. Find each of the following.a. f (0) b. f (–7) c. f (5a) d. f (a – 4)

Example (continued)
c. f (5a)f (5a) = 2(5a)2 − 5a + 3 = 2 • 25a2 – 5a + 3
= 50a2 – 5a + 3d. f (a – 4)f (a – 4) = 2(a – 4)2 − (a – 4) + 3
= 2(a2 – 8a + 32) – a + 4 + 3 = 2a2 – 16a + 64 – a + 4 + 3 = 2a2 – 17a + 71
A function is given by f(x) = 2x2 x + 3. Find each of the following.a. f (0) b. f (–7) c. f (5a) d. f (a – 4)

Graphs of Functions
We graph functions the same way we graph equations. We find ordered pairs (x, y), or (x, f (x)), plot the points and complete the graph.
ExampleGraph f (x) = x2 – 5 .Make a table of values.

Example (continued)Graph f (x) = x3 – x . Graph
ExampleFor the function f (x) = x2 – 5, use the graph to find each of the following function values.a. f (3) b. f (–2) a. Locate the input 3 on the
horizontal axis, move vertically (up) to the graph of the function, then move horizontally (left) to find the output on the vertical axis. f (3) = 4
b. Locate the input –2 on the horizontal axis, move vertically (down) to the graph, then move horizontally (right) to find the output on the vertical axis. f (–2) = –1

VerticalLine TestIf it is possible for a vertical line to cross a graph more than once, then the graph is not the graph of a function.Which of graphs (a) (c) (in red) are graphs of functions?
Yes No No

Finding Domains of Functions
When a function f whose inputs and outputs are real numbers is given by a formula, the domain is understood to be the set of all inputs (xvalues) for which the expression is defined as a real number. When an input results in an expression that is not defined as a real number, we say that the function value does not exist and that the number being substituted is not in the domain of the function.
ExampleFind the indicated function values and determine whether the given values are in the domain of the function.
a. f (1)
Since f (1) is defined, 1 is in the domain of f.
b. f (3)
Since division by 0 is not defined, f (3) does not exist and, 3 is in not in the domain of f.

Example
Find the domain of the function
Solution: We can substitute any real number in the numerator, but
we must avoid inputs that make the denominator 0. Solve x2 + 2x 3 = 0. (x + 3)(x – 1) = 0x + 3 = 0 or x – 1 = 0 x = –3 or x = 1The domain consists of the set of all real numbers except
3 and 1, or x|x ≠ 3 and x ≠ 1.

Visualizing Domain and Range
Domain = the set of a function’s inputs, found on the horizontal axis;
Range = the set of a function’s outputs, found on the vertical axis.
Keep the following in mind regarding the graph of a function:
ExampleGraph the function. Then estimate the domain and range.
Domain = [–4, ∞)
Range = [0, ∞)
