Functions
• A function is a set of ordered pairs such that
for each first component, there is at most one
value of the second component
• Three things that specify a function:
– Domain
– Range
– A rule which assigns to each member of the
domain exactly one member of the range
Exclusively for My Review Coach online LET review. Not for redistribution. © 2014 My Review Coach of Philippines.
Functions
• Domain
– set of all first components in each element of the
set
• Range
– set of all the second components in each element
of the set
• When y is a function of x, the set of values of x
is the domain of the function and the set of
values of y is the range of the function.
