Definition
An asymptote is a line that a curve
approaches but never reaches as it
extends towards infinity. There are
three types: vertical, horizontal, and
oblique asymptotes.

3I Four Types of Relations
Lesson Intention:
3I Four types of relations
F1.2: Introduction to functions
​ a) define and use a function and a relation as mappings between sets, and as a rule or a
formula that defines one variable quantity in terms of another
​ d) identify types of functions and relations on a given domain, using a variety of
methods
​ d) (i) know what is meant by one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one and
many-to-many
​ d) (ii) use the vertical line test to identify a function
​ d) (iii) determine if a function is one-to-one (ACMSM094)
​ g) recognise that solving the equation 𝑓(𝑥) = 0 corresponds to finding the values of 𝑥 for
which the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) cuts the 𝑥-axis (the 𝑥-intercepts)
F1.3: Linear, quadratic and cubic functions
​ c) solve practical problems involving a pair of simultaneous linear and/or quadratic
functions algebraically and graphically, with or without the aid of technology; for
example determining and interpreting the break-even point of a simple business problem
AAM
​ c) (i) understand that solving 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑘 corresponds to finding the values of 𝑥 for which
the graph 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) cuts the line 𝑦 = 𝑘

When we discussed relations in an earlier

chapter, we split them into two groups;
functions and not functions.

The vertical line test was used to work

out if a relation was a function or not. In
this lesson we are going to combine the
vertical line test with the horizontal line
test and split relations into four groups.
