Functions vs Non-Functions

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 non-function?

Back

A non-function is a relation where at least one input has more than one output.

Front

What is the vertical line test?

Back

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

What does it mean for a relation to have repeating input values?

Back

Repeating input values means that the same x-value is paired with different y-values, which indicates that the relation is not a function.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers (x, y) that represents a point on a graph, where 'x' is the input and 'y' is the output.

Front

Can a function have the same output for different inputs?

Back

Yes, a function can have the same output for different inputs, as long as each input has only one output.

Front

What is a mapping diagram?

Back

A mapping diagram visually represents the relationship between inputs and outputs, showing how each input is paired with an output.

Front

If a relation has the ordered pairs (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 7), is it a function?

Back

No, it is not a function because the input '2' has two different outputs (5 and 6).

Front

What is the definition of a domain in a function?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of a range in a function?

Back

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