There are MANY arrows from each person and each place is related to MANY
People. It is a MANY to MANY relation.
 Person Has A Mass of Kg

In this case each person has only one mass, yet several people have the same
Mass. This is a MANY to ONE relationship

Here one amount is the length of many objects.

This is a ONE to MANY relationship

f : x x 2  4

fx  x 2  4

The upper function is read as follows:-

‘Function f such that x is mapped onto x2+4

 Lets look at some function
Type questions

f  x   x 2  4 and g  x   1 - x 2
If

F ind f  2 

F ind g  3 

2 x 4 gx  1 - x2

fx 2 =8 = -8

Consider the function fx  3x - 1 We can consider this as two simpler
functions illustrated as a flow diagram

x 3x 3x - 1
Multiply by 3 Subtract 1

Consider the function f : x 2x  52

x 2x 2x  5 2x  52
Multiply by 2 Add 5 Square
Consider 2 functions f : x 3x  2 and gx : x x2

fg is a composite function, where g is performed first and then f is performed

on the result of g.
The function fg may be found using a flow diagram

x x2 3x2 3x2  2
square Multiply by 3 Add 2

g f

Thus fg = 3x2  2
 x2 3x  2

Here is its flow diagram
5 x -2 fx  5x - 2
5x 3
x Multiply by 5 Subtract 2 Divide by three

Draw a new flow diagram in reverse!. Start from the right and go left…

3 x +2 3 x +2 3x x

Divide by 5 Add two Multiply by three

And so f -1 x  3x  2
