What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a graph represents a function. If a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is not a function.

What does it mean for a relation to be a non-function?

Back

A relation is a non-function if at least one input is associated with more than one output.

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.

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.
