1.

What is the definition of a function?

a)

A function is a random assignment of outputs to inputs.

b)

A function is a type of equation that does not relate inputs to outputs.

c)

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output for each input.

d)

A function can have multiple outputs for a single input.

2.

How do you determine if a relation is a function?

a)

A relation is a function if each output can have multiple inputs.

b)

A relation is a function if it has multiple outputs for the same input.

c)

A relation is a function if it has no outputs for any input.

d)

A relation is a function if each input has exactly one output.

3.

What is the domain of a function?

a)

The set of all possible input values for a function.

b)

The range of a function.

c)

The output values of a function.

d)

The graph of a function.

4.

What is the range of a function?

a)

The set of all possible input values of a function.

b)

The formula used to calculate the output of a function.

c)

The set of all possible output values of a function.

d)

The difference between the highest and lowest output values.

5.

How do you find the inverse of a function?

a)

Graph the function and reflect it over the line y=x.

b)

Differentiate the function with respect to x.

c)

Swap x and y, then solve for y.

d)

Add 1 to the function's output.

6.

What does the graph of a linear function look like?

a)

The graph of a linear function is a curve.

b)

The graph of a linear function is a circle.

c)

The graph of a linear function is a zigzag line.

d)

The graph of a linear function is a straight line.

7.

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

a)

y = b + mx

b)

y = mx - b

c)

y = m + bx

d)

y = mx + b

8.

How do you identify the vertex of a quadratic function?

a)

The vertex can be found at (a, 0).

b)

The vertex is always at the origin (0,0).

c)

The vertex can be found at ( -b/(2a), f(-b/(2a)) ).

d)

The vertex is located at (b, 0).

9.

What is the significance of the x-intercepts and y-intercepts?

a)

The x-intercepts show the maximum value of the function.

b)

The x-intercepts indicate where the function equals zero, and the y-intercepts indicate the function's value when x is zero.

c)

The y-intercepts indicate the slope of the function.

d)

The x-intercepts represent the function's average value.

10.

How do transformations affect the graph of a function?

a)

Transformations do not change the graph at all.

b)

Transformations only affect the color of the graph.

c)

Transformations change the position, shape, and size of the graph of a function.

d)

Transformations only change the graph's color and not its shape.

11.

What is a piecewise function?

a)

A piecewise function is a function that is defined by different expressions for different intervals of its domain.

b)

A piecewise function is defined by a single expression for all values.

c)

A piecewise function is a type of polynomial function.

d)

A piecewise function is a function that is continuous everywhere.

12.

How do you graph a quadratic function?

a)

Graph a quadratic function by drawing a straight line through the origin.

b)

Graph a quadratic function by plotting the vertex, y-intercept, and additional points, then drawing a parabola.

c)

Use only the y-intercept to create a horizontal line.

d)

Plot only the x-intercepts and connect them with a curve.

13.

What is the difference between a continuous and a discrete function?

a)

A continuous function has a finite number of values, while a discrete function has an infinite number of values.

b)

A continuous function is always increasing, while a discrete function is always decreasing.

c)

A continuous function is unbroken, while a discrete function consists of distinct, separate values.

d)

A continuous function can only be defined on integers, while a discrete function can be defined on real numbers.

14.

How do you find the asymptotes of a rational function?

a)

Asymptotes can only be found graphically.

b)

Vertical asymptotes are found by setting the numerator to zero.

c)

Vertical asymptotes are found by setting the denominator to zero; horizontal asymptotes depend on the degrees of the numerator and denominator.

d)

Horizontal asymptotes are always at y=0.

15.

What is the relationship between a function and its derivative?

a)

The derivative indicates the maximum value of the function.

b)

The derivative of a function indicates how the function's output changes as its input changes.

c)

The derivative measures the total area under the curve of the function.

d)

The derivative of a function is the same as the function itself.
