FUNCTIONS AND RELATIONS
RELATIONS
- A relation is a set of ordered pairs
A relation may have more than 1 output for any
given input.
- The set whose elements are the first coordinates
in the ordered pairs is the domain of the relation.
- The set whose elements are the
second coordinates is the range.
- A = { (1, 1), (2, 3), (2,4)}
- Domain: {( 1, 2)} Range: {(1, 3, 4)}
RELATION IN THE REAL WORLD
- Money won after buying a lotto locket.
- The high temperature on July 1st in New York City.

FUNCTION NOTATION
- The notation f(x) defines a function named
f. This is read as โy is a function of x.โ The
letter x represents the input value, or
independent variable. The letter y is
replaced by f(x) and represents the output
value, or dependent variable.
UNARY AND BINARY OPERATIONS
UNARY OPERATIONS
- It involves only one value or accepts one value
or operand.
BINARY OPERATIONA
- It can act on two operands โ+โ and โ โ โ
- It takes two values and include the
operations of addition,
subtraction,
multiplication, division and exponentiation.
PROPERTIES OF TWO BINARY OPERATIONS
CLOSURE OF BINARY OPERATIONS
