Date: 1.2 Functions And Their Properties A relation is any set of ordered pairs. The set of all first components of the ordered pairs is called the domain of the relation, and the set of all second components is called the range of the relation. Find the domain and range of the relation {(1994,56.21), (1995,51.00), (1996,47.70), (1997,42.78), (1998,39.43)} The domain is the set of all first components (the x-values). domain: {1994,1995,1996,1997,1998} The range is the set of all second components (the y-values). range: {56.21, 51.00, 47.70, 42.78, 39.43} Definition of a Function: A function is a relation that assigns to each domain exactly one range. Determine whether each relation is a function. a. {(1, 6), (2, 6), (3, 8), (4, 9)} b. {(6,1),(6,2),(8,3),(9,4)} Solution We begin by making a figure for each relation that shows the domain and the range. (a) Figure (a) shows that every element in the 1 6 domain corresponds to exactly one element in 2 8 the range. No two ordered pairs in the given 3 9 relation have the same x and different y’s. For 4 every x, there is only one y. Thus, the relation is a Domain Range function. (b) 6 8 9 Domain 1 2 3 4 Range Figure (b) shows that 6 corresponds to both 1 and 2 (6 has two y’s). This relation is not a function; two ordered pairs have the same x and different y’s. Determine whether each equation is a function. a. y = 2x + 3 b. x = y2 Consider the values of x and y. For every x is there only one y value. x y x y -1 1 1 -1 0 3 0 0 1 5 1 1 Function x has two y values Not a Function The Vertical Line Test for Functions •If any vertical line intersects a graph in more than one point, the graph does not define y as a function of x. a. Use the vertical line test to identify graphs in which y is a function b.of x. y y x y is not a function since 2 values of y correspond to an x-value. c. y x y is a function of x d. y x y is a function of x x y is not a function since 2 values of y correspond to an x-value. y is a function of x for the graphs in (b) and (c). Finding a Function’s Domain: It’s domain is the largest set of real numbers for which the value of f(x) is a real number. Exclude from a function’s domain real numbers that cause division by zero and real numbers that result in an even root of a negative number. x 2x f(x) 2 x 1 3 Find the domain of the function: x(x 2) (x 1)(x 1) 2 domain : {x : x 1,1} or ,1, 1,1, 1, 1 and -1 need to be excluded from the domain because they cause division by zero. Find the domain of the function: g ( x) 2 x 3 Numbers that result in an even root of a negative number must be excluded. 2x + 3 must be positive. 2x 3 0 -3 -3 2x 3 2 3 domain : x : x 2 3 or , 2 2 3 x For these values an even root will 2 be positive. Confirm this graphically. Find the range graphically. range : y : y 0 or 0, 2 Find the domain and range of the function: h(x) x Find the domain and range graphically. domain : x : x 0 range : y : y 0 or , 0 , 0, or , 0 , 0, Confirm the domain and range algebraically. 2 x = 0 is not in the domain because h(x) a denominator cannot be zero. 0 y = 0 is not in the range by trying to solve when y = 0 2 0 x 20 y = 0 is not in the range Graph f (x) = x2 + 1. Use integer values of x from the set {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}. Use the graph to specify the function's domain and range. Solution We begin by setting up a partial table of coordinates. f (x) = x2 + 1 (x, y) or (x, f (x)) -3 f (-3) = (-3)2 + 1 = 10 (-3, 10) -2 f (-2) = (-2)2 +1=5 (-2, 5) -1 f (-1) = (-1)2 + 1 = 2 (-1, 2) 0 f (0) = 02 + 1 = 1 (0, 1) 1 f (1) = 12 + 1 = 2 (1, 2) 2 f (2) = (2)2 + 1 = 5 (2, 5) 3 (3)2 Plot the points. Range: [1, oo) x 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 Domain: all Reals f (3) = + 1 = 10 (3, 10) The points on the graph of f have x-coordinates that extend indefinitely far to the left and to the right. Thus, the domain consists of all real numbers, represented by (-∞, ∞). The points on the graph have y-coordinates that start at 1 and extend indefinitely upward. Thus, the range consists of all real numbers greater than or equal to 1, represented by [1, ∞). Complete Student Checkpoint Determine whether each relation is a function: a. {(1,2),(3,4),(5,6),(5,8)} Not a function b. {(1,2),(3,4),(6,5),(8,5)} Function Solve each equation for y and then determine whether the equation defines y as a function of x. a. 2x y 6 2x 2x y 2x 6 x y -1 8 0 6 1 4 Function b. x 2 y 2 1 x 2 x2 y 2 x 2 1 x y y x 2 1 -1 0 0 1 0 -1 Not a function Smooth, Continuous Graphs Two important features of the graphs of polynomial functions are that they are smooth and continuous. By smooth, we mean that the graph contains only rounded y y Smooth curves with no sharp rounded Smooth corner rounded corners. Bycontinuous, corner we mean that the graph has no breaks and can be drawn without x lifting your pencil from the rectangular Smooth coordinate system. Smooth rounded rounded corner corner These ideas are illustrated in the figure. x Discontinuities These graphs have discontinuity. They are not continuous everywhere. a. b. 5 4 3 5 4 3 2 1 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 1 1 2 3 4 5 This graph has removable discontinuity at x = 1. It is removable because we could define f(1) in such a way as to plug the hole and make f(x) continuous as 1. -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 1 2 3 4 5 This graph has jump discontinuity. This discontinuity is not removable because there is more than just a hole at x = 0; the gap makes it impossible to plug. Discontinuities This graph has discontinuity. It is not continuous everywhere. This graph has infinite discontinuity. This discontinuity is definitely not removable at x = -2. 5 4 3 2 1 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 1 2 3 4 5 Definitions of Local Maximum and Local Minimum A function value f(a) is a -5 -4 -3 -2 local maximum of f if there exists an open interval about a such that f(a) > f(x) for all x in the open interval. It occurs at (1, 4), 5 4 3 2 1 -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 1 2 3 4 5 the maximum value is 4 A function value f(b) is a local minimum of f if there exists an open interval about b such that f(b) < f(x) for all x in the open interval. It occurs at (-3, -4), the minimum value is -4 Local is also referred to as Relative or Absolute . Increasing, Decreasing, and Constant Functions A function is increasing on an interval if for any x1, and x2 in the interval, where x1 < x2, then f (x1) < f (x2). A function is decreasing on an interval if for any x1, and x2 in the interval, where x1 < x2, then f (x1) > f (x2). A function is constant on an interval if for any x1, and x2 in the interval, where x1 < x2, then f (x1) = f (x2). (x2, f (x2)) (x1, f (x1)) (x1, f (x1)) (x2, f (x2)) (x1, f (x1)) (x2, f (x2)) Increasing f (x1) < f (x2) Decreasing f (x1) > f (x2) Constant f (x1) = f (x2) Example Describe the increasing, decreasing, or constant behavior of each function whose graph is shown. a. b. 5 4 3 5 4 3 2 1 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 1 1 2 3 4 5 decreasing on the interval (-∞, 0) increasing on the interval (0, 2) decreasing on the interval (2, ∞) -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 1 2 3 4 5 The function is defined in two pieces. constant on the interval (-∞, 0) increasing on the interval [0, ∞) Lower Bound, Upper Bound, and Bounded The function is bounded below if there is some number b that is less than or equal to every number in the range of f. Any such number b is called a lower bound of f. y The function is bounded above if there is some number b that is less than or equal to every number in the range of f. Any such number b is called a upper bound of f. y x not bounded above bounded below x bounded above not bounded below Lower Bound, Upper Bound, and Bounded The function is bounded if it is bounded both above and below. y y x bounded The function is: x not bounded above not bounded below Definition of Even and Odd Functions The function f is an even function if f (-x) = f (x) for all x in the domain of f. The right side of the equation of an even function does not change if x is replaced with -x. The function f is an odd function if f (-x) = -f (x) for all x in the domain of f. Every term in the right side of the equation of an odd function changes sign if x is replaced by -x. Identify the following function as even, odd, or neither: f(x) = 3x2 - 2. Use the given function equation to find f(-x). f(-x) = 3(-x) 2-2 = 3x2 - 2 The right side of the equation of the given function did not change when we replaced x with -x. Algebraically: Because f(-x) = f(x) f is an even function. Even Functions and y-Axis Symmetry y x The graph of an even function in which f (-x) = f (x) is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Odd Functions and Origin Symmetry y The graph of an odd function in which f (-x) = - f (x) is symmetric with respect to the origin. x Identify the following function as even, odd, or neither: f(x) = 3x2 - 2. Identify graphically. Because f(x) looks the same on either side of the y-axis f is an even function. Determine algebraically whether each of the following functions is even, odd, or neither. a. f (x) x 2 6 f (x) (x)2 6 x2 6 does not change b. g(x) 7x 3 x all terms g(x) 7(x)3 (x) change signs 7x 3 x ODD EVEN c. h(x) x 5 1 h(x) (x)5 1 x 5 1 NEITHER all terms do not change signs Arrow Notation Symbol Meaning xa xa x x approaches a from the right. x approaches a from the left. x approaches infinity; that is, x increases without bound. x x approaches negative infinity; that is, x decreases without bound. Definition of a Vertical Asymptote The line x a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of a function f if f (x) increases or decreases without bound as x approaches a. f (x) as x a f (x) as x a y y f f x a a x=a x=a lim f (x) or lim f (x) xa x xa Definition of a Vertical Asymptote The line x a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of a function f if f (x) increases or decreases without bound as x approaches a. f (x) as x a f (x) as x a y y x=a x=a x a f a f lim f (x) or lim f (x) xa xa x Locating Vertical Asymptotes If f(x) = p(x) / q(x) is a rational function in which p(x) and q(x) have no common factors and a is a zero of q(x) , the denominator, then x = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f. Find the vertical asymptote of this function: x7 f (x) x5 5 is a zero of x - 5, therefore x = 5 is a vertical asymptote of f Find the vertical asymptotes, if any, of the graph of each rational function. x 1 a. b. x 1 h(x) 2 g(x) 2 x 1 x 1 x 1 g(x) no vertical asymptotes x 1 x 1 x 1 and x 1 Definition of a Horizontal Asymptote The line y = b is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of a function f if f (x) approaches b as x increases or decreases without bound. y y y=b y f f f y=b x y=b x x f(x)b as x f(x)b as x lim f (x) b x f(x)b as x Locating Horizontal Asymptotes Let f be the rational function given by an x n an 1 x n1 ... a1 x a0 f (x) , an 0,bm 0 m m 1 bm x bm1 x ... b1 x b0 The degree of the numerator is n.
