Relations and Functions
A relation is a pairing of input values with
output values. It can be shown as a set of
ordered pairs (x,y), where x is an input and
y is an output.
The set of input values for a relation is
called the domain, and the set of output
values is called the range.

Relations and Functions
Example 1: Identifying Domain and Range
Give the domain and range for this relation:
{(100,5), (120,5), (140,6), (160,6), (180,12)}.
List the set of ordered pairs:
{(100, 5), (120, 5), (140, 6), (160, 6), (180, 12)}
Domain: {100, 120, 140, 160, 180} The set of x-coordinates.
Range: {5, 6, 12}
The set of y-coordinates.

Give the domain and range for the relation
shown in the graph.
List the set of ordered pairs:
{(–2, 2), (–1, 1), (0, 0),
(1, –1), (2, –2), (3, –3)}
Domain: {–2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3} The set of x-coordinates.
Range: {–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2} The set of y-coordinates.
Relations and Functions
Although a single input in a function cannot
be mapped to more than one output, two
or more different inputs can be mapped to
the same output.
Relations and Functions
Not a function: The
relationship from number to
letter is not a function because
the domain value 2 is mapped to
the range values A, B, and C.
Function: The relationship from
letter to number is a function
because each letter in the domain
is mapped to only one number in
the range.
Relations and Functions
Example 2: Determining Whether a Relation is a
Function
Determine whether each relation is a function.
A. from the items in a store to their prices on
a certain date
There is only one price for each different item on
a certain date. The relation from items to price
makes it a function.
B. from types of fruits to their colors
A fruit, such as an apple, from the domain would
be associated with more than one color, such as
red and green. The relation from types of fruits
to their colors is not a function.
Relations and Functions
Check It Out! Example 2
Determine whether each relation is a function.
A.
There is only one price for
each shoe size. The relation
from shoe sizes to price
makes is a function.
B. from the number of items in a grocery cart
to the total cost of the items in the cart
The number items in a grocery cart would be
associated with many different total costs of the
items in the cart. The relation of the number of
items in a grocery cart to the total cost of the
items is not a function.
Relations and Functions
Every point on a vertical line has the same
x-coordinate, so a vertical line cannot
represent a function. If a vertical line
passes through more than one point on the
graph of a relation, the relation must have
more than one point with the same xcoordinate. Therefore the relation is not a
function.

Example 3A: Using the Vertical-Line Test
Use the vertical-line test to determine
whether the relation is a function. If not,
identify two points a vertical line would pass
through.
This is a function. Any vertical
line would pass through only
one point on the graph.
Relations and Functions
Example 3B: Using the Vertical-Line Test
Use the vertical-line test to determine
whether the relation is a function. If not,
identify two points a vertical line would pass
through.
This is not a function. A vertical
line at x = 1 would pass through
(1, 1) and (1, –2).
