Four Ways to Represent a Function1.1
![Page 7: Lecture 1 admin & representing fcts](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477ccd8b42abf538b505f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

What is a Function?
Functions arise whenever one quantity depends on another.
We usually consider functions for which the sets D and E are sets of real numbers. The set D is called the domain of the function.
The number f (x) is the value of f at x and is read “f of x.” The range of f is the set of all possible values of f (x) as x varies throughout the domain.
A symbol that represents an arbitrary number in the domain of a function f is called an independent variable.

What is a Function?
It’s helpful to think of a function as a machine
DomainIndependent Variable
RangeDependent Variable

Key Idea – each input has only one output

Representations of Functions
There are four possible ways to represent a function:
verbally (by a description in words)
numerically (by a table of values)
algebraically (by an explicit formula)
visually (by a graph)
![Page 10: Lecture 1 admin & representing fcts](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477ccd8b42abf538b505f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Verbal Representation
• Revenue is $10 for every unit sold
• Force required to stretch/compress a spring is
proportional to the distance spring is
stretched/compressed
• Voltage across a capacitor decays exponentially
with a time constant RC
![Page 11: Lecture 1 admin & representing fcts](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477ccd8b42abf538b505f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Numerical RepresentationThe human population of the world P depends on the
time t. The table gives estimates of the world population P(t) at time t, for certain years. For instance,
P(1950) 2,560,000,000
But for each value of the time tthere is a corresponding value
of P, and we say that P is a function of t.

Algebraic Representation

Graphical RepresentationThe graph of f also allows us to picture the domain of f on the x-axis and its range on the y-axis as in Figure 5.

Example 1 – Reading Information from a Graph
The graph of a function f is shown in Figure 6.
(a) Find the values of f (1) and f (5).
(b) What are the domain and range of f ?
Figure 6
The notation for intervals is given in Appendix A.

Vertical Line TestThe graph of a function is a curve in the xy-plane. But the question arises: Which curves in the xy-plane are graphs of functions? This is answered by the following test.
![Page 17: Lecture 1 admin & representing fcts](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070319/558477ccd8b42abf538b505f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Representations of FunctionsThe reason for the truth of the Vertical Line Test can be seen in Figure 13.
If each vertical line x = a intersects a curve only once, at (a, b), then exactly one functional value is defined by f (a) = b. But if a line x = a intersects the curve twice, at (a, b) and (a, c), then the curve can’t represent a function because a function can’t assign two different values to a.

Vertical Line Test
Draw a graph that fails the vertical line test at x=3
Draw a graph that passes the vertical line test.

Finding Domains
• Sometimes explicitly given
• Sometimes implied – word problem describing
area of a circle as a function of radius, implies
radius is positive number
• Exclude values that would “break” the function:• No division by zero• No even roots of negative numbers• No logs of non-positive numbers
