Functions and Graphs
You need to be able to draw
graphs and solve equations when
the modulus function is involved
The modulus of a function is its
non-negative numerical value (often
referred to as the ‘absolute’ value)
It is denoted like this:
A modulus function is in general, a
function of the type

𝑓 (𝑥)=|2 𝑥 − 3|+1
𝑓 (5)=|2 (5)− 3|+1
𝑓 (5)=|7|+1
𝑓 (5)=8

𝑓 (− 1)=|2(−1)− 3|+1
𝑓 (− 1)=|− 5|+1

Mapping Diagrams
A mapping diagram transforms one
set of numbers into a different set
of numbers. It can be described in
words or using algebra. They can also
be represented by a Cartesian graph.
The original numbers (Set A, or ‘x’)
are known as the domain.
The results (Set B, or ‘y’) are known
as the range (ie range of answers)

Many-to-one Function
Functions
A function is a mapping
whereby every element in
the domain is mapped to
only 1 element in the range.
ie) Whatever number you
start with, there is only 1
possible answer to the
operation performed on it.
An example of a mapping
which is not a function
would be square rooting,
where the starting number
may result in no answer, or
2 answers.

To work out the range of the function;

You can get any

Domain changes
A mapping which is not a function, can be
made into one by changing/restricting
the domain (the starting values)
eg) y = +√x
If we restrict the domain to
x ≥ 0, then all values in the domain will
map to one value in the range.
 It now therefore meets the criteria
for being a function!
