    This document provides an introduction to functions for architecture and design students. It defines relations and functions, and explains that a function associates each element in the domain with exactly one element in the range. The document gives examples of determining if a relation represented by ordered pairs is a function. It also covers evaluating functions, sums and differences of functions, even and odd functions, composite functions, and inverse functions. Students are assigned practice problems evaluating various functions and finding inverse functions.

    Introduction to functions
    Relation:

     A relation is a correspondence between two sets: a set X, called the domain, and
    a set Y, called the range. In a relation, each element from the domain corresponds
    to at least one element from the range.

     If x is an element of the domain and y is an element of the range, and if a relation


    exists from x to y, then we say that y corresponds to x or that y depends on x, and
    we write x→y. It is often helpful to think of x as the input and y as the output of
    the relation.
    Relationship and Correspondence
    Whether a Relation Represents a Function!

     Let X and Y be two nonempty sets. A function from X into Y is a


    relation that associates with each element of X exactly one
    element of Y.
     The set X is called the domain of the function. For each element
    x in X, the corresponding element y in Y is called the value of
    the function at x, or the image of x. The set of all images of the
    elements in the domain is called the range of the function.
    Determining Whether a Relation Given
    by a Set of Ordered Pairs is a Function
    Example: For each relation, state the domain and range. Then determine whether the relation is a function.
    (a) {(1, 4), (2, 5),(3, 6), (4, 7)} (b) {(1,
    4), (2, 4), (3, 5), (6, 10)}
    (c) {( - 3, 9), ( - 2, 4), (0, 0), (1, 1), (- 3, 8)}

    (a) The domain of this relation is {1, 2, 3, 4} and its range is {4, 5, 6, 7}. This relation is a function because there are no

    ordered pairs with the same first element and different second elements.

    (b) The domain of this relation is {1, 2, 3, 6}, and its range is {4, 5, 10}. This relation is a function because there are no

    ordered pairs with the same first element and different second elements.

    (c) The domain of this relation is { - 3, - 2, 0, 1}, and its range is {0, 1, 4, 8, 9}. This relation is not a function because there

    are two ordered pairs, (- 3, 9) and (- 3, 8), that have the same first element and different second elements.

    Finding Values of a Function
    Example: For the function f defined by f(x) = 2x2 - 3x, evaluate
    (a) f(3)
    (b) f(x) + f(3)
    (c) 3f(x)
    (d) f( - x)
    (e) – f(x)
    (f) f(3x)
    (g) f(x + 3)
    (h) f(x + h)

    Even and Odd Functions

     A function f is even if, for every number x in its domain, the number - x is also in the
    domain and

     A function f is odd if, for every number x in its domain, the number - x is also in the
    domain and

    Example:

    1. (Absolute Valued Function)


    Composite Function
     Given two functions f and g, the composite function, denoted by f ∘ g (read as“ f composed with
    g”), is defined by

    The domain of f ∘ g is the set of all numbers x in the domain of g for which g(x) is in the domain of
    f.
    Example: For and ;
    Find:
    Inverse Functions
     Suppose y = f(x) is a one-to-one function. The correspondence from the range of f to the domain
    of f is called the inverse function of f. The symbol f -1 is used to denote the inverse function of f.
    In other words, if y = f(x) is a one-to-one function, then f has an inverse function f -1 and x = f -
    1
    (y).
     Domain of f = Range of f -1
     Range of f = Domain of f -1
     Example: Find the inverse of f(x) = 2x + 3. Graph f and f -1 on the same coordinate axes.
     Replace f(x) with y in f(x) = 2x + 3 and obtain y = 2x + 3.
     Now find
     This equation defines the inverse function f -1 implicitly.
