14. Information The domain of a relation is the set of all possible values for the independent variable. The range of a relation is the set of all possible values for the dependent variable. Symbol Notation Symbol notation is a formal mathematical way to give the values of the domain and range.

16. Example 1 Stating the Domain and Range From a Graph For each graph, give the domain and range in symbol notation. a) Try this on your own first!!!! Helpful Hint A solid circle on a graph indicates the point is included.

24. More Information Functions can be written using function notation. Function notation is used to distinguish between functions and to evaluate functions. The function may be written in function notation as, which is read “the value of f at x is ”, or f of x is ”. The name of the function is f, with the variable x. Function notation highlights the relationship between the input and output values. The function takes any input value for x, squares it, multiplies by 2 and adds 1 to produce the output value. For example, f(5) takes the input value 5 and produces the output value or 51. This is written as f(5) = 51.

25. Example 2 Working With Function Notation The equations of two functions are given below. The functions may be expressed in function notation as follows.

30. Example 3 Stating the Domain and Range in a Real-Life Situation b)In Southern Alberta, near Fort MacLeod, you will find the famous Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. In a form of hunting, Blackfoot once herded buffalo and then stampeded the buffalo over the cliffs. If the height of a buffalo above the base of the cliff, h, in metres, can be modelled by the function where t is the time in seconds after the buffalo jumped, how long was the buffalo in the air, to the nearest hundredth of a second?

31. Example 3 Stating the Domain and Range in a Real-Life Situation b) Only a portion of the graph above is appropriate for this situation. In this context, state the restriction in symbol and interval notation. i. domain ii. range Try this on your own first!!!! Helpful Hint In a real-life situation the domain and range restrictions are set by the context of the situation.

32. i. domain ii. range Example 3b: Solution Helpful Hint In a real-life situation the domain and range restrictions are set by the context of the situation. Time (seconds) Height (metres)

33. Example 3 Stating the Domain and Range in a Real-Life Situation c)Explain why the domain and range are different in parts a) and b). Try this on your own first!!!!

34. Example 3c: Solution Stating the Domain and Range in a Real-Life Situation c)Explain why the domain and range are different in parts a) and b). Part a) is the graph of the function with no restrictions. Part b) is for the given context and is restricted: time (x-values) are only positive numbers starting at 0 seconds, height (y-values) start at the top of the cliff 12 m and end at ground level 0 m.

35. Need to Know: The domain is the set of all possible values for the independent variable, x, in a relation. The range is the set of all possible values for the dependent variable, y, in a relation. The domain and range can be expressed in symbol notation.

36. Need to Know: Each function can be expressed in function notation. For example, the function can be expressed in function notation as. The function f takes an input value, x, multiplies the squared value by 2 and adds 5 to produce the output value. For, to evaluate, replace the input value, x, by 4 to obtain the output value.
