What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Front

What does it mean for a relation to be a function?

Back

A relation is a function if every input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).

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 an example of a function?

Back

An example of a function is f(x) = x + 2, where for each x, there is one corresponding output.

Front

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

Back

An example of a relation that is not a function is y^2 = x, because for some x-values, there are two corresponding y-values.

Front

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.

Front

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.

Front

What is a range in 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 a one-to-one function?

Back

A one-to-one function is a function where each output is related to exactly one input, meaning no two different inputs have the same output.

Front

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, where m and b are constants.
