Functions and Quadratics

The document defines mappings between two sets A and B, referred to as relations, and categorizes them into one-one, many-many, many-one, and one-many types. It specifies that many-one and one-one relationships are classified as functions, with the domain representing the inputs and the range representing the possible outcomes. Overall, it provides foundational concepts related to functions and quadratics.

Functions and Quadratics Topic 2

• Definition: A mapping between two sets A and B is simply a rule for relating elements of one set
to the other. A mapping is also called a relation.

• Types of Relations:

o One-One Relations are mappings where each member of the pre-image is mapped to
exactly one member of the image.

o Many – Many Relations are the mappings where many members of the image are
images of more than one member of the pre-image, and members of the pre-image are
mapped to more than one image.

o Many - One Relations are the mappings where two or more members of the pre-image
are mapped to exactly one member of the image.

o One-Many Relations are mappings where one member of the pre-image is mapped to
two or more members of the image.

• Definition: Many-One and One-One relationships are called functions.

• Definition: The set consisting of members of the pre-image or inputs of a function is called its
domain. For a given domain the set of possible outcomes or images of a function is called its
range
