Functions and Relations

Front

What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation where each input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).

Front

What is a relation?

Back

A relation is a set of ordered pairs, which can show how two quantities are related.

Front

How can you determine if a graph represents a function?

Back

A graph represents a function if any vertical line drawn through the graph intersects it at most once.

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

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

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

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

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on a graph.

Front

What does it mean for a relation to be not a function?

Back

A relation is not a function if at least one input (x-value) is associated with more than one output (y-value).

Given the function {(0,1), (1,-3), (2,-4), (-4,1)}, what is the domain?

Back

D: {0, 1, 2, -4}.

Front

Given the function {(0,1), (1,-3), (2,-4), (-4,1)}, what is the range?

Back

R: {1, -3, -4}.

Front

What is a vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a graph is a function by checking if a vertical line crosses the graph more than once.
