What is the domain of a function?

Back

The set of all possible input values (x-values) for a function.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The set of all possible output values (y-values) for a function.

How do you determine the domain of a function from its graph?

Back

Look for the x-values that the graph covers; these values make up the domain.

What is an example of a function?

Back

f(x) = 2x + 3 is a function because each x-value has one corresponding y-value.
