What is the vertical line test?

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

Front

Give an example of a function using ordered pairs.

Back

(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4) is a function because each x-value is unique.

What is a mapping diagram?

Back

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

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

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

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

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