5-2 Relations
Objective: To identify the domain,
range, and inverse of a function and
to show relations as sets of ordered
pairs, tables, mappings, and graphs.
Drill #57
Graph the following points. Then state what
quadrant they are in:
1. A ( 4, 5 )
2. B ( -3, 2 )
3. C ( -1.5, - 4 )
4. D ( 0, -5 )
5. E ( -5, 0 )
6. F ( 3.5, -2.5 )

There are 1.4 million classified species of
microorganisms, invertebrates, plants,
fish, …
Relations **
Relations are a set of ordered pairs.
(10.) Domain: The set of all the x- coordinates of
a relation
(11.) Range: The set of all the y- coordinates of
a relation

(12.) Mapping **
Definition: A mapping pairs each element in the domain
with an element in the range.
Example: { (1,4), (2, 2), (3, 1), (4, 3) }

(13.) Inverse
Definition: Relation Q is the inverse of
relation S if and only if for every ordered
pair (a,b) in S there is an ordered pair
(b,a) in Q.
To find the inverse of a relation for each
ordered pair swap x and y values.
Inverse
The inverse of a relation can be obtained by
switching the coordinates in each ordered pair.
Example:
Relation:
Inverse:
{(1,4),(-3,2),(7,-9)}
{(4,1),(2,-3),(-9,7)}
