What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

Front

Can a function have the same output for different inputs?

Back

Yes, a function can have the same output for different inputs, but each input must have only one output.
