What is a function in mathematics?

Back

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a coordinate system, typically written in the form (x, y).

How can you determine if a set of ordered pairs represents a function?

Back

A set of ordered pairs represents a function if no two different ordered pairs have the same first element (x-value).

What does it mean for a relation to be 'not a function'?

Back

A relation is 'not a function' if at least one input (x-value) is associated with more than one output (y-value).

What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a curve is a function by checking if any vertical line intersects the curve at more than one point.

Front

Can a function have the same output for different inputs?

Back

Yes, a function can have the same output for different inputs, as long as each input corresponds to only one output.

What is a domain in the context of functions?

Back

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

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that can be graphically represented as a straight line, typically in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What is a non-linear function?

Back

A non-linear function is a function that does not form a straight line when graphed, and can include quadratic, exponential, and other types of functions.
