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.

What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method used to determine if a curve is a graph of a function. If any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, then the graph is not a function.

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable (input) for which the function is defined.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the complete set of possible values of the dependent variable (output) that result from using the function.

What is an example of a function?

Back

An example of a function is f(x) = 2x + 3, where for every input x, there is exactly one output.

What is an example of a relation that is not a function?

Back

An example of a relation that is not a function is the set of points {(1,2), (1,3)}, where the input 1 is related to two different outputs.

What does it mean for a function to be one-to-one?

Back

A function is one-to-one if it never assigns the same value to two different domain elements, meaning each output is paired with exactly one input.

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that can be graphically represented in the Cartesian plane as a straight line, typically in the form f(x) = mx + b.

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a function that can be expressed in the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0.

What is a piecewise function?

Back

A piecewise function is a function that is defined by different expressions based on the input value.
