B-Man Relations & Functions: Ordered Pairs, Tables and Graphs

Open Ended

2. Give a brief statement similar to those on the previous slide to

3. describe two quantities that are related.

Relations ~

Many quantities are related. For example:
1. A person's height is related to their age.
2. The number of gallons of water needed on a ranch on a daily basis is related to the number of animals present.
3. The annual income of a person in the USA is related to their education level. (Look it up!)
4. The number of calories in a serving of a particular food is related to the size of the serving.

​Relations may sometimes be shown as ordered pairs:

(#children, #gal. milk)

Ordered Pairs:

​Relations may be shown as a table.

Table:

​A mapping diagram is often useful in depicting a relation.

​​Mapping Diagram

​Relations are often shown as graphs to help visualize the relation.

​​Graph

Domain - set of input (often x) values; think x-coordinate

Range - set of output (often y)
values; think y-coordinate
In the relation shown as ordered pairs at rt:
D: {-2, 1, 4}
R: {-3, 0, 2, 5}
NOTE: Domain and range are listed in INCREASING order from LEFT to RIGHT, and NEVER repeated.

Domain & Range

Multiple Choice

Correctly list the domain for the relation shown here as a set of ordered pairs:

{(-5, 4), (-3, 2), (-3, 4), (3, 7)}

• {-5, -3, -3, 3}

• {2, 4, 4, 7}

• {2, 4, 7}

• {-5, -3, 3}

Multiple Choice

Correctly state the range for the relation shown here as a set of ordered pairs:

{(-5, 4), (-3, 2), (-3, 4), (3, 7)}

• {-5, -3, -3, 3}

• {2, 4, 4, 7}

• {2, 4, 7}

• {-5, -3, 3}

Multiple Choice

Correctly list the range for the relation shown here as a mapping diagram:

• {0, 2, 2, 4}

• {(0,0),(2, 1),(2,-2),(4,3)}

• {0, 2, 4}

• {-3, -2, 0, 1}

Multiple Choice

Correctly list the domain for the relation shown here as a mapping diagram:

• {0, 2, 2, 4}

• {(0,0),(2, 1),(2,-2),(4,3)}

• {0, 2, 4}

• {-3, -2, 0, 1}

Fun with Functions~

Many quantities are related. For example:
1. Heart rate is related to how much a person exerts themself.
2. Weekly wages earned by an hourly worker is related to how many hours the person works in a week.
3. The number gallons of gasoline used on a road trip in a car depends on how many miles the car is driven.
4. The volume of a cylindrical container is related to the diameter AND height of the container.

Functions v. Relations ~

A function is a relation where each input in the domain generates exactly one ouput in the range.
In each of the following cases, discuss with a parnter whether you think the relation described is a function or not? Explain.

1. Heart rate is related to how many minutes a person exercises.

2. Weekly wages earned by an hourly worker is related to how many hours the person works in a week.

3. The number gallons of gasoline used on a road trip in a car depends on how many miles the car is driven.

4. The volume of a cylindrical container is related to the diameter AND height of the container.

THINK: Is it possible for the SAME input (x) value to give DIFFERENT output (y) values?

​Functions may be shown as ordered pairs which can help organize data and look for patterns.

Ordered Pairs:

​Functions may be shown as a table to aid in graphing or organize data to look for patterns.

Table:

​A mapping diagram is often useful in showing a relation is a function or not. Each input has only 1 Arrow!

​The graph of a relation can also show if it is a function or not! (Vertical line test.)

​From a set of Ordered Pairs:
Focus on the x-coordinates! If ANY x-coordinate is repeated, then the relation is NOT a function.
A = {(-5,0), (-3,1), (-1,2), (-1,4)}
NOT a function since x=-1 has TWO outputs y=2 and y=4.

​NOTE: In the related mapping diagram, the input (domain) element x = -1 has TWO arrows coming from it. Thus, NOT a fucntion.

​From a set of Ordered Pairs:
Focus on the x-coordinates! If EVERY
x-coordinate only occurs ONCE, then the relation IS a function.
B = {(-4,2), (-2,1), (2,1), (4,2)}
IS a function since EVERY x-coordinate has ONLY ONE output for y.

​NOTE: In the related mapping diagram, each input (domain) element x has ONLY ONE arrow coming from it. Thus, IS a fucntion.

Categorize

Options (10)

{(-3,2),(-1,5),(1,7),(3,9)}

{(-9,-3), (-4,-2), (-4,2), (-9,3)}

$$K\left(v\right)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot500v^2$$  

$$x^2+y^2=25$$  

Organize these relations as FUNCTIONS or NOT FUNCTIONS!

FUNCTION

NOT A FUNCTION

Watch the video and think about any relations or functions are discussed in the video.

​Take a break and watch this fascinating video about 200 countries over 200 years in 200 seconds!
