Functions and Linear Functions
Avast expanse of open water at the top of our world was once covered with ice. The melting ofthe Arctic ice caps has forced polar bears to swim as far as 40 miles, causing them to drown insignificant numbers. Such deaths were rare in the past.
There is strong scientific consensus that human activities are changing the Earths climate. Scientists
now believe that there is a striking correlation between atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and
global temperature. As both of these variables increase at significant rates, there are warnings of a planetaryemergency that threatens to condemn coming generations to a catastrophically diminished future.*
In this chapter, youll learn to approach our climate crisis mathematically by creating formulas, called
functions, that model data for average global temperature and carbon dioxide concentration over time.
Understanding the concept of a function will give you a new perspective on many situations, ranging
from global warming to using mathematics in a way that is similar to making a movie.
2CHAPTER
Mathematical models involving global
warming are developed in Example 10
and Check Point 10 in Section 2.4.
Using mathematics in a way that issimilar to making a movie is discussed
in the Blitzer Bonus on page 147.

1 Find the domain and
range of a relation.
Definition of a Relation
A relationis any set of ordered pairs. The set of all first components of the ordered
pairs is called the domainof the relation and the set of all second components iscalled the rangeof the relation.
EXAMPLE 1 Finding the Domain and Range of a Relation
Find the domain and range of the relation:
{(Smith, 1.006,), (Johnson, 0.810,), (Williams, 0.699,), (Brown, 0.621,), (Jones, 0.621,)}.
Solution The domain is the set of all first components. Thus, the domain is
{Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Jones}.
The range is the set of all second components. Thus, the range is
Although Brown and Jones are both sharedby 0.621% of the U.S. population, it is not
necessary to list 0.621% twice.
{1.006%, 0.810%, 0.699%, 0.621%}.
CHECK POINT 1 Find the domain and the range of the relation:
{(0, 9.1), (10, 6.7), (20, 10.7), (30, 13.2), (38, 19.6)}.
The top five U.S. last names shown aboveaccount for nearly 4% of the entire population.The table indicates a correspondence between a last
name and the percentage of Americans who share thatname. We can write this correspondence using a set ofordered pairs:
{(Smith, 1.006%), (Johnson, 0.810%), (Williams, 0.699%),(Brown, 0.621%), (Jones, 0.621%)}.
These braces indicate we are representing a set.
The mathematical term for a set of ordered pairs is a relation.

SECTION 2.1 Introduction to Functions 105
As you worked Check Point 1, did you wonder if there was a rule that assigned theinputs in the domain to the outputs in the range? For example, for the orderedpair (30, 13.2), how does the output 13.2 depend on the input 30? The ordered pairis based on the data in Figure 2.1(a), which shows the percentage of first-year U.S.college students claiming no religious affiliation.

A relation in which each member of the domain corresponds to exactly one memberof the range is a function. Can you see that the relation in Figure 2.2(a)is a function?Each last name in the domain corresponds to exactly one percent in the range. If weknow the last name, we can be sure of the percentage of Americans sharing that name.Notice that more than one element in the domain can correspond to the same elementin the range: Brown and Jones are both shared by 0.621% of Americans.
Is the relation in Figure 2.2(b) a function? Does each member of the domain
correspond to precisely one member of the range? This relation is not a functionbecause there is a member of the domain that corresponds to two different membersof the range:
(0.621,,Brown)(0.621,,Jones).
The member of the domain, 0.621%, corresponds to both Brown and Jones in therange. If we know the percentage of Americans sharing a last name, 0.621%, we cannotbe sure of that last name. Because a function is a relation in which no two ordered pairshave the same first component and different second components, the ordered pairs(0.621%, Brown) and (0.621%, Jones) are not ordered pairs of a function.
(0.621%, Brown) (0.621%, Jones)

Definition of a Function
A functionis a correspondence from a first set, called the domain, to a second set,called the range, such that each element in the domain corresponds to exactly oneelement in the range.
In Check Point 1, we considered a relation that gave a correspondence betweenyears after 1970 and the percentage of first-year college women claiming no religious
affiliation. Can you see that this relation is a function?
{(0, 9.1), (10, 6.7), (20, 10.7), (30, 13.2), (38, 19.6)}
corresponds to exactly one element in the range.
Each element in the domain
However, Example 2 illustrates that not every correspondence between sets is afunction.
EXAMPLE 2 Determining Whether a Relation Is a Function
Determine whether each relation is a function: a. {(1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 8)} b. {(5, 1), (5, 2), (7, 3), (8, 4)}.
Solution We begin by making a figure for each relation that shows the domain andthe range (Figure 2.3).
a. Figure 2.3(a)shows that every element in the domain corresponds to exactly oneelement in the range. The element 1 in the domain corresponds to the element 5 inthe range. Furthermore, 2 corresponds to 5, 3 corresponds to 7, and 4 correspondsto 8. No two ordered pairs in the given relation have the same first component anddifferent second components. Thus, the relation is a function.

b. Figure 2.3(b) shows that 5 corresponds to both 1 and 2. If any element in thedomain corresponds to more than one element in the range, the relation is not afunction. This relation is not a function because two ordered pairs have the samefirst component and different second components.

Look at Figure 2.3(a)again. The fact that 1 and 2 in the domain correspond to thesame number, 5, in the range does not violate the definition of a function. A functioncan have two different first components with the same second component.By contrast,a relation is not a function when two different ordered pairs have the same firstcomponent and different second components. Thus, the relation in Example 2(b) isnot a function.
CHECK POINT 2 Determine whether each relation is a function:
a. {(1, 2),(3, 4),(5, 6),(5, 7)}
b. {(1, 2),(3, 4),(6, 5),(7, 5)}.
Functions as Equations and Function Notation
Functions are usually given in terms of equations rather than as sets of ordered pairs.For example, here is an equation that models the percentage of first-year collegewomen claiming no religious affiliation as a function of time:
y = 0.014x2 - 0.24x + 8.8.
The variablexrepresents the number of years after 1970. The variableyrepresents thepercentage of first-year college women claiming no religious affiliation. The variableyis a function of the variable x. For each value of x, there is one and only one valueofy. The variablexis called the independent variablebecause it can be assigned anyvalue from the domain. Thus,xcan be assigned any nonnegative integer representingthe number of years after 1970. The variableyis called the dependent variablebecauseits value depends onx. The percentage claiming no religious affiliation depends on thenumber of years after 1970. The value of the dependent variable,y, is calculated afterselecting a value for the independent variable,x.
If an equation inxandygives one and only one value ofyfor each value ofx, thenthe variableyis a function of the variablex. When an equation represents a function,the function is often named by a letter such asf, g, h, F, G, or H. Any letter can be usedto name a function. Suppose thatfnames a function. Think of the domain as the setof the functions inputs and the range as the set of the functions outputs. As shown inFigure 2.4, the input is represented byxand the output byf(x). The special notationf(x), read fofx or fatx, represents the value of the function at the numberx.
Lets make this clearer by considering a specific example. We know that the equationy = 0.014x2 - 0.24x + 8.8
defines y as a function of x. Well name the function f. Now, we can apply our newfunction notation.
Input Output Equation
We read this equationas fof xequals
0.014x20.24x+8.8.
x f(x) f(x)=0.014x2-0.24x+8.8

Suppose we are interested in findingf(30), the functions output when the input is 30.To find the value of the function at 30, we substitute 30 for x. We are evaluating thefunctionat 30.
f(x) = 0.014x2 - 0.24x + 8.8 This is the given function.
f(30) = 0.014(30)2 - 0.24(30) + 8.8 Replace each occurrence of xwith 30.
= 0.014(900) - 0.24(30) + 8.8 Evaluate the exponential expression:
302=
30#30
=
900. = 12.6 - 7.2 + 8.8 Perform the multiplications.
(30) = 14.2 Subtract and add from left to right.
The statement f(30) = 14.2, read fof 30 equals 14.2, tells us that the value of thefunction at 30 is 14.2. When the functions input is 30, its output is 14.2. Figure 2.5illustrates the input and output in terms of a function machine.
f(30)=14.2
30 years after1970, or in 2000,
14.2% of first-year college womenclaimed no religious affiliation.
We have seen that in 2000, 13.2% actually claimed nonaffiliation, so our function
that models the data overestimates the data value for 2000 by 1%.

Using Technology
We used f(x) = 0.014x2 - 0.24x + 8.8 to findf(30). To find other function values,such asf(40) orf(55), substitute the specified input value, 40 or 55, forxin the functionsequation.
If a function is namedfandxrepresents the independent variable, the notationf(x)corresponds to they-value for a givenx. Thus,
f(x) = 0.014x2 - 0.24x + 8.8andy = 0.014x2 - 0.24x + 8.8
define the same function. This function may be written as
y = f(x) = 0.014x2 - 0.24x + 8.8.

Solution

Application Exercises
The Corruption Perceptions Index uses perceptions of the
general public, business people, and risk analysts to rate
countries by how likely they are to accept bribes. The ratings
are on a scale from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent less
corruption. The graph shows the corruption ratings for the
worlds least corrupt and most corrupt countries. (The rating for
the United States is 7.6.) Use the graph to solve Exercises 3334.
