Vertical Line Test and Functions

The video explains the vertical line test, a visual method to determine if a relation is a function. It demonstrates the test with examples, such as y = x and x = y^2, and discusses its limitations. The test checks if any vertical line intersects a graph more than once, indicating the relation is not a function. The video concludes with a summary and thanks to viewers.

What is the main topic of the video?

• Solving quadratic equations

• The vertical line test

• Graphing linear equations

• The horizontal line test

What is a relation in mathematical terms?

• A single number

• A set of ordered pairs

• A type of graph

How does a function differ from a relation?

• A function is a type of equation
