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 identify a function from a set of ordered pairs?

Back

A set of ordered pairs represents a function if no two different pairs have the same first element (input).

Front

What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a curve is a function. If a vertical line intersects the curve at more than one point, it is not a function.

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

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

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

Front

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; each output is unique.

Front

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that can be graphically represented as a straight line, typically in the form y = mx + b.

Front

What is a quadratic function?

Back

A quadratic function is a function that can be expressed in the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

What is a mapping diagram?

Back

A mapping diagram visually represents a function by showing how each input is paired with its corresponding output.

Front

What is the difference between a function and a relation?

Back

A relation is any set of ordered pairs, while a function is a specific type of relation where each input has exactly one output.
