• Review of Functions
Def: Relation• A relation is a set of ordered pairs.• Designated by:
• Listing• Graphs• Tables• Algebraic equation• Picture• Sentence
Def: Function
• A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two different ordered pairs have the same first component.
• Vertical line test – used to determine whether a graph represents a function.
Defs: domain and range
• Domain: The set of first components of a relation.
• Range: The set of second components of a relation
Examples of Relations:
1,2 , 3,4 5,6
1,2 , 3,2 , 5,2
1,2 , 1,4 , 1,6
Objectives
• Determine the domain, range of relations.
• Determine if relation is a function.

•Inverse Functions
Inverse of a function
• The inverse of a function is determined by interchanging the domain and the range of the original function.
• The inverse of a function is not necessarily a function.
• Designated by

One-to-One function
• Def: A function is a one-to-one function if no two different ordered pairs have the same second coordinate.
Horizontal Line Test
• A function is a one-to-one function if and only if no horizontal line intersects the graph of the function at more than one point.

•Exponential Functions
Michael Crichton – The Andromeda Strain
(1971)• The mathematics of uncontrolled
growth are frightening. A single cell of the bacterium E. coli would, under ideal circumstances, divide every twenty minutes. It this way it can be shown that in a single day, one cell of E. coli could produce a super-colony equal in size and weight to the entire planet Earth.”
Definition of Exponential Function
• If b>0 and b not equal to 1 and x is any real number, an exponential function is written as

Growth and Decay
•Growth: if b > 1
•Decay: if 0 < b < 1
( ) xf x b
Properties of graphs of exponential functions
• Function and 1 to 1
• y intercept is (0,1) and no x intercept(s)
• Domain is all real numbers
• Range is {y|y>0}
• Graph approaches but does not touch x axis – x axis is asymptote
• Growth or decay determined by base

•Logarithmic Functions
Definition: Logarithmic Function
• For x > 0, b > 0 and b not equal to 1 toe logarithm of x with base b is defined by the following:
log yb x y x b
Properties of Logarithmic Function
• Domain:{x|x>0}• Range: all real numbers• x intercept: (1,0)• No y intercept• Approaches y axis as vertical
asymptote• Base determines shape.
Shape of logarithmic graphs
• For b > 1, the graph rises from left to right.
• For 0 < b < 1, the graphs falls from left to right.
