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 crosses the graph at more than one point, it is not a function.

Front

If a set of ordered pairs is {(2, 3), (2, 4)}, is it a function?

Back

No, it is not a function because the input '2' has two different outputs (3 and 4).

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

Back

A one-to-one relation is a function where each output is paired with exactly one input.
