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.

How can you determine if a relation is a function?

Back

A relation is a function if every input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).

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.

Front

What does it mean for a mapping to represent a function?

Back

A mapping represents a function if each input maps to one and only one output.

What is the difference between inputs and outputs in a function?

Back

Inputs are the values you put into a function (x-values), and outputs are the values you get out of a function (y-values).

Can a function have the same output for different inputs?

Back

Yes, a function can have the same output for different inputs, but each input must have only one output.

What is a mapping diagram?

Back

A mapping diagram visually represents the relationship between inputs and outputs in a function.

Front

What does it mean if a set of ordered pairs does not represent a function?

Back

It means that at least one input is associated with more than one output.

Front

Give an example of a function using ordered pairs.

Back

Example: {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)} - Each input has a unique output.
