Definition of function

Standard textbook definition

Let A and B be nonempty sets. A function f from A to B is a rule that assigns to each element a of set A one and only one element, called f(a), from set B.

Alternate definition

A function must satisfy three requirements

(1)Start with a pair of not necessarily distinct nonempty sets usually designated as the first set and the second set,

(2)Each element of the first set is assigned a partner from the second set, and

(3)No element from the first set is assigned two or more partners from the second set.

Definition in terms of ordered pairs

Given sets A and B, the Cartesian product of A with B, denoted A x B, is defined as A x B = {(a,b) | a is in A and b is in B}.

Given sets A and B, a relation from A to B is a subset of the Cartesian product of A with B.

A function f from A to B is a relation from A to B for which:

(1)A and B are not necessarily distinct nonempty sets,

(2)for each element a in A, there is an element b of B such that (a,b) is in f,

(3)for all a in A and for all b and c in B,

if (a,b) is in f and (a,c) is in f, then b = c

(2.alternate wording)

Each element of A is a first coordinate of some ordered pair of f.

(3.alternate wording)

No element of A is a first coordinate of more than one ordered pair in f.

Radian Measure

Place the vertex of an angle at the center of a circle with radius r. Let s be the arc length of the circle subtended by the angle. The radian measure of the angle is given by provided that r and s are measured in the same linear units.

Circular Trigonometric Functions

Let  be a measure of an angle in standard position. Let P with coordinates (x,y) be the point of intersection of the terminal side of the angle with the unit circle x2 + y2 = 1. Then, define the (circular) trigonometric functions of  by
