What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test states that if a vertical line intersects a graph at more than one point, the graph does not represent a function.

Front

What is a table of values in relation to functions?

Back

A table of values lists pairs of inputs and outputs, which can help determine if a relation is a function.

What is the definition of a one-to-one function?

Back

A one-to-one function is a function where each output is associated with exactly one input.

Front

What is the difference between a function and a relation?

Back

A function is a specific type of relation where each input has a single output, while a relation can have multiple outputs for a single input.
