Front

What is the domain of a relation?

Back

The domain is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for the relation.

What is the range of a relation?

Back

The range is the set of all possible output values (y-values) for the relation.

Front

What does it mean for a relation to be discrete?

Back

A discrete relation consists of distinct, separate points, often represented as individual ordered pairs.

Front

What does it mean for a relation to be continuous?

Back

A continuous relation can be represented by a line or curve, indicating that there are infinite points between any two points.

Front

How can a mapping diagram represent a function?

Back

A mapping diagram shows how each element of the domain is paired with an element of the range, illustrating the function's relationship.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers (x, y) that represents a point in a two-dimensional space.

Front

What is a table of values?

Back

A table of values lists pairs of input and output values, showing the relationship between them.

Front

What is a graph in relation to functions?

Back

A graph visually represents the relationship between the input and output values of a function on a coordinate plane.
