What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a graph represents a function. If any vertical line intersects the graph more than once, it is not a function.

What does it mean for a graph to be a function?

Back

A graph is a function if every x-value has exactly one corresponding y-value.

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.
