Front

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.

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.

Front

How do you find the output of a function?

Back

To find the output of a function, substitute the input value into the function's rule and simplify.

What does it mean for a function to be linear?

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

Front

What is a missing value in a function?

Back

A missing value in a function is an unknown output that can be determined by substituting a known input into the function's rule.

Front

How do you determine the output for a given input in a function rule?

Back

To determine the output, replace the input variable in the function rule with the given input value and calculate the result.

What is the function rule for y = 4x?

Back

The function rule y = 4x means that for every input x, the output y is four times the input.

Front

If the input is -1 in the function y = 10x + 7, what is the output?

Back

The output is -3, calculated as y = 10(-1) + 7 = -10 + 7 = -3.
