Relations
The key question: How is a
relation
different from a function?
A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x, y) of real numbers.The graph of a relation is the set of points in a plane that correspond to the ordered pairs of the relation.If x and y are functions of a third variable t, called a parameter, then we can use the parametric mode of a grapher to obtain a graph of the relation.
A function is ____________ a relation.
A relation is ____________ a function.

1. Draw the curve using the window [-5,5] by [-2,4]. What did you choose as a closed parameter interval for your grapher? In what direction is the curve traced? How far to the left and right of the origin do you think the curve extends?
We used the parameter interval because our graphing calculator ignored the fact that the curve is not defined when or . The curve traced from right to left across the screen. x ranges from to .Slide6

2. Graph the same parametric equations using the parameter intervals , , and . In each case, describe the curve you see and the direction in which it is traced by your grapher.
What do you notice in each case? How does the point(0, 2) manifest in each case, and why?Slide7

3. What happens if you replace by in the original parametrization? What happens if you use ?
If you replace by , the same graph is drawn except it is traced from left to right across the screen. If you replace it by , the same graph is drawn except it is traced from left to right across the screen.Slide8
