,Functions
If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y plus Z, with X
being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.

You can think of the display as a mapping. Some of the values are shown below.
Amount of fuel (litres) Cost ($)
1 2.40
2 4.80
3 7.20
4 9.60
5 12.00
10 24.00
50 120.00
100 240.00
If x is an element of the first set, then f(x) denotes the associated
element from the second set. For example, this mapping diagram shows
integers mapped onto the final digit of their squares.

A function is a rule that associates each element of one set (the input)
with only one element of a second set (the output). It is possible for
more than one input to have the same output, as shown above.
You can use a flow chart (or number machine) to express a function.
This flow chart shows a function, f, with two operations. The first
operation is and the second operation is 3.
Input Output
You can write the equation of a line in the form y 2x 3 using
Read this as ‘f of function notation.
x equals two x plus f(x) 2x 3 Read this as ‘f maps x
three.’ or f: x 2x 3 onto two x plus three.’
Using this notation, you can write, for example:
f(4) 2 4 3 11
or f:(5) 2 (5) 3 7
The domain and range
The domain of a function f(x) is the set of all possible inputs. This is the set of
Real numbers are values of x that the function operates on. In the first mapping diagram of the
all of the rational next worked example, the domain is the first five positive odd numbers. If no
and irrational domain is given, it is assumed to be all real values of x. This is often denoted
numbers. by the letter ℝ.
The range of the function f(x) is all the possible output values, i.e. the
corresponding values of f(x). It is sometimes called the image set and is
controlled by the domain.
In certain functions one or more values must be excluded from the
domain, as shown in the following example.
Worked example
1
For the function f(x) 2 x 1:
a Draw a mapping diagram showing the outputs for the set of inputs odd
numbers from 1 to 9 inclusive.
b Draw a mapping diagram showing the outputs for the set of inputs even
numbers from 2 to 10 inclusive.
c Which number cannot be an input for this function?
