What is the domain of a function?

Back

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

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

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

Front

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 crosses the graph more than once, it is not a function.

Front

What is the significance of the range [-15, ∞)?

Back

This range indicates that the lowest output value is -15, and the function can output any value greater than or equal to -15.

Can a function have a domain of all real numbers?

Back

Yes, a function can have a domain of all real numbers if it accepts any real number as input.

Front

What is an example of a function?
