Front

What is a function?

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.

Front

What does it mean to evaluate a function?

Back

To evaluate a function means to find the output value when a specific input value is substituted into the function.

Front

What is the output of a function when the input is zero?

Back

The output of a function when the input is zero is found by substituting 0 into the function.

Front

What is the slope of the function f(x) = -2x + 5?

Back

The slope is -2, indicating the function decreases as x increases.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x) = 2x?

Back

The y-intercept is 0, meaning the function crosses the y-axis at (0,0).
