What is the vertical line test?

Back

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

What is a domain in a function?

Back

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

What is an example of a function?

Back

An example of a function is f(x) = x + 2, where for every input x, there is a unique output.

What is an example of a relation that is not a function?

Back

An example of a relation that is not a function is {(1, 2), (1, 3)}, because the input 1 has two different outputs.

What does it mean for a function to be one-to-one?

Back

A function is one-to-one if it never assigns the same output to two different inputs.

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line and can be expressed in the form f(x) = mx + b.
