5.1: Intro to Functions

Front

What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output for each input. In other words, for every x-value, there is one and only one corresponding y-value.

What is not a function?

Back

A relation is not a function if at least one input is associated with more than one output. For example, the relation {(1, 2), (1, 3)} is not a function because the input 1 has two different outputs.

Front

Which ordered pair can be added to the list (3, 5), (4, 9), (2, 5) to create a function?

Back

(1, 9) - This pair does not repeat any x-values from the existing pairs.

What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a curve is a function. If any vertical line intersects the curve at more than one point, then the curve is not a function.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a coordinate system, typically written as (x, y).

What does the range of a function represent?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.
