This video tutorial explains how to determine if a relation is a function. It begins by defining relations and functions, emphasizing that functions are a special type of relation where each domain value pairs with exactly one range value. The video uses mapping diagrams and examples to illustrate this concept. It also covers different representations of functions, such as ordered pairs, tables, graphs, and equations. The tutorial explains the vertical line test as a method to identify functions and provides examples of non-functions. Finally, it offers tips on explaining whether a relation is a function.

What are the x-coordinates in a set of ordered pairs also known as?

• Output

• Input

• Range

• Function
