What is the domain in a relation?

• The second set of values

• The first set of values

• The set of all possible outputs

• The set of y-values

In a relation, what is the range?

What makes a function different from a general relation?

• Every element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range

• It can have multiple elements in the domain paired with one element in the range

• It is represented only as a graph

• It has no restrictions on pairings

Which of the following is true for a function?

• It must be represented as a table

• An element in the range can have multiple arrows going to it

• An element in the domain can have multiple arrows coming from it

• It cannot be expressed as a set of points

How can you determine if a relation is a function using a graph?

• By ensuring all points lie on a straight line

• By checking if any horizontal line touches the graph more than once

• By counting the number of points

• By checking if any vertical line touches the graph more than once

What does the vertical line test help determine?

• If a graph has infinitely many points

• If a graph represents a relation

• If a graph is a straight line

• If a graph represents a function

If a vertical line touches a graph at more than one point, what can be concluded?

• The graph represents a function

• The graph does not represent a function

• The graph represents a relation

• The graph is a straight line

What should you do after watching the video on relations and functions?

• Take a break

• Start working on practice exercises 1 through 19

• Watch another video on a different topic

• Read a textbook on functions
