Exploring Functions and Function Notation

The video tutorial reviews functions, focusing on determining if relations are functions, analyzing domains and ranges, and applying the vertical line test. It uses examples like swine flu cases over time to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial also covers mapping functions and concludes with encouragement for students to study and prepare for their quiz.

What does the function s(t) = 9t - 4 represent in the context of the swine flu?

• The number of people affected by swine flu in thousands

• The number of days since the outbreak

• The rate of infection per day

• The total population of the area

Why does the graph of a function that fails the vertical line test not qualify as a function?

• It has repeating y-values

• It does not intersect the vertical line

• It has repeating x-values

• It intersects the vertical line more than once
