What does the vertical line test determine?

Back

The vertical line test determines 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 is the domain of a function?

Back

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

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of a function?

Back

An example of a function is f(x) = 2x + 3, where each input x gives 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 one-to-one function is a function where each output is produced by exactly one input, meaning no two different inputs map to the same output.

Front

What is a mapping diagram?

Back

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