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 do you determine if a relation is a function?

Back

A relation is a function if every input has exactly one output. This can be checked using the vertical line test on a graph.

Front

What is the output of the function f(x) = 2x + 3 when x = 2?

Back

f(2) = 2(2) + 3 = 7.

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line and can be expressed in the form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What is a nonlinear function?

Back

A nonlinear function is a function that does not graph to a straight line and can include quadratic, exponential, and other types of functions.

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the y-intercept of a function?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation f(x) = mx + b.

Front

If a function is represented by a table of values, how can you determine if it is linear?

Back

If the differences between consecutive outputs (y-values) are constant for equal differences in inputs (x-values), the function is linear.

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) that the function can accept.

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.
