Unit 1: Analyze Functions

Section 2.1
FUNCTIONS (T1.1)

A relation is a mapping (or pairing) of input values with output

values.
Domain, (___)

Range, (___)

Relations can be represented in dierent ways.

Ordered Pairs Table

( 2, 3)

( 1, 1)
(1, 3)
(2, 2)
(3, 1)

A function is a special type of relation where every input is paired

with ______________________ output.
Identify the domain and range of the relation. Then determine if
the relation is a function. Explain.
(-3, 2), (-1, 3), (2, -4), (4, 4)

(1, -4), (0, 2), (-5, -4), (1, 3)

When asked to determine if an equation denes y as a function

of x, we need to solve for ______ and see if we get a _____________
equation (that is also a function).
Determine if the equation dene y as a function of x.

x = y 6

x = 2 y +1

Find the domain of the function. Express the domain in set

notation or interval notation.

f ( x ) = x 2 + 5x

h (t ) = 4 3t

3x
g ( x) = 2
x 4

f ( x) =

f ( x + h) f ( x )
Evaluate the dierence quotient for the
h
function.

f ( x ) = 5x + 2

f ( x ) = x 2 + x +1
