Determining Functions: Relations and Their Types

The video tutorial explores the concept of functions in algebra, focusing on how to determine if a relation is a function. It covers various representations, including tables, mapping diagrams, ordered pairs, and graphs. The tutorial explains that a relation is a function if each input has exactly one output. It provides specific methods for each representation, such as checking for repeated x-values in tables and ordered pairs, ensuring single arrows in mapping diagrams, and using the vertical line test for graphs. The video concludes with a recap of these methods.

What is the key question being asked in most algebra classes?

• Is a number even?

• Is a relation a function?

• Is a shape symmetrical?

• Is a sequence arithmetic?
