4. The values that make up the set of
independent values are the domain
The values that make up the set of
dependent values are the range.
State the domain and range from the 4
examples of relations given.

7. Transitive:
If a = b and b = c then a = c
Identity:
a + 0 = a, a • 1 = a
Commutative:
a + b = b + a, a • b = b • a
Associative:
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
(a • b) • c = a • (b • c)
Distributive:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b - c) = ab - ac
11. A Relation maps a value from the
domain to the range. A Relation is a set
of ordered pairs.
The most common types of relations in
algebra map subsets of real numbers to
other subsets of real numbers.
12. Domain Range This is often referred to
as a diagrammatic
representation of a
3 π
relation. Note that each
element in the domain is
11 -2 connect to it’s
respective range
1.618 2.718 element by the arrow.
13. The relation is the year and the cost of a
first class stamp.
The relation is the weight of an animal
and the beats per minute of it’s heart.
The relation is the time of the day and
the intensity of the sun light.
The relation is a number and it’s square.
14. If a relation has the additional
characteristic that each element of the
domain is mapped to one and only one
element of the range then we call the
relation a Function.

The miles per gallon causes the vehicle size The vehicle size causes the miles per gallon The “independent” variable causes the “dependent” variable (in most cases)

In mathematics one topic we are interested in relationships between sets of numbers So, lets take a minute to talk about the sets of numbers that make up the REAL numbers.
The properties of the real numbers are a fundamental to all of what we do in algebra. Algebra is in a broad sense the generalization of arithmetic. The properties of the real numbers allow us to do most of the operations we do when simplifying algebraic expressions. Why does the distributive property work?
An excellent definition of absolute value is the distance between two points on a number line. In the case where we take the absolute value of a single value, we are finding the distance between that value and 0 on the number line.
Note that the absolute value of -2 is the distance between -2 and 0 on the number line.
Make up and example of a relation then define the domain and range of the relation
This is the mathematical definition of a relation.
This is one place the real world and math don’t mix very well. In most cases the real world works in the set of rational numbers. In fact, we round off most irrationals to rational to be able to work with them. Yet in mathematics, the definition of your domain and range in a sense defines the relation. For two relations to be equivalent they must have the same set of ordered pairs. That is each element in the domain must be matched with the exact same element in the range. For example, the square root of x squared is equivalent to the absolute value of x.
A function f is a set of ordered pairs (x,y) where each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value.
A function f is a set of ordered pairs (x,y) where each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value.
A function f is a set of ordered pairs (x,y) where each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value.
The notation can be confusing when topics such as composition of functions or inverse functions are discussed. But, at the fundamental level, the notation is easy to use and understand. The trick is to break it into its pieces and discuss what each piece represents.
One of the really big deals is to remember that y is f(x). That means that f(x) and y are interchangeable.
