Relations and Functions Notes 2

This document defines and explains the key concepts of functions. It begins by stating that a function is a special type of relation where each element of the domain has a unique image in the codomain. It then lists the main features of a function: each element of the domain maps to a unique element in the range; no domain elements can map to more than one image; and a function is determined by the rule that maps domain elements to their images. The document proceeds to discuss and provide examples of different types of functions - the identity function, constant function, and polynomial functions - along with describing their domains, ranges, and graphs.

A function is a special type of a relation.


Definition
A relation from set to set is said to be a function or a map from to if every element of
the set has one and only one image in set .
OR
In other words, function is a relation from a non- empty set to a non- empty set such that the
domain of is and no two distinct ordered pairs in have the same first component.
• The function from to is denoted by
• The set is called the domain of and set is called the codomain of .
• The set of elements of which are the images of the elements of are called range of .
Let be a function and ( ) then ( ) Then is the image of under the
function and is the preimage of
NOTE
• All functions are relations and not conversely.
• If the domain and range of a function is the set of real numbers or its subset, then the
function is called a real function.
• If the range of a function is the set of real numbers or its subset, then the function is
called a real valued function.
Main features of a function
Let be a function from to , then
• To every there exists a unique element such that ( )
• No element of can have more than one images in .
• There may be elements of which are not associated with any element of .
• Distinct elements of may have same image in .
• Function is determined when ( ) is known for all .

SOME FUNCTIONS AND THEIR GRAPHS


I. Identity Function
The real function defined by ( ) is called the identity function.
Domain of Range of
• Graph is a straight line passing through the origin.
• The graph is equally inclined to the coordinate axis.

II. Constant Function:The real function defined by ( ) where is a
constant is called a constant function.
Domain of Range of * +

 Graph is a line parallel to axis.


 If , the graph is below the axis.
 If , the graph is the axis.
 If , the graph is above the axis
III. Polynomial function
The real function defined by ……+ , where
and n is non-negative integer and is called a polynomial function of degree

Domain of is
Range depends on the polynomial representing the function
Example: Graph of ( ) (quadratic polynomial)
Domain
Range set of non-negative real numbers , )
