Relations and 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 the domain of a function?

Back

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

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

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

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

Is the relation {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4)} a function?

Back

Yes, because each input has exactly one output.

Front

Is the relation {(1,2), (1,3), (2,4)} a function?

Back

No, because the input '1' has two different outputs (2 and 3).

Front

What does it mean if a relation is not a function?

Back

It means that at least one input is associated with more than one output.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is an example of a function in real life?

Back

A vending machine is a function; each button (input) gives one specific item (output).
