What is the vertical line test?

Back

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

Given the set of ordered pairs {(-2,3), (-4,8), (3,1), (-2,9)}, is this a function?

Back

No, it is not a function because the x-value -2 is associated with two different y-values (3 and 9).

What does it mean if a relation has repeating x-values?

Back

If a relation has repeating x-values, it is not a function because a function cannot have the same input produce different outputs.

Identify if the following relation is a function: {(0,3), (3,6), (0,2)}.

Back

Not a function, because the x-value 0 is associated with two different y-values (3 and 2).

What is the difference between a function and a non-function?

Back

A function has one output for each input, while a non-function has at least one input that corresponds to multiple outputs.
