Front

What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

What is the vertical line test?

Back

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

Front

Is the relation {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)} a function?

Back

Yes, this relation is a function because each input (1, 2, 3) has exactly one output (2, 3, 4).

Front

Is the relation {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4)} a function?

Back

No, this relation is not a function because the input 1 is related to two different outputs (2 and 3).

Front

What does it mean for a relation to be not a function?

Back

A relation is not a function if at least one input is associated with more than one output.

Front

Can a function have the same output for different inputs?

Back

Yes, a function can have the same output for different inputs, as long as each input has only one output.

Front

What is a one-to-one function?

Back

A one-to-one function is a function where each output is related to exactly one input, meaning no two different inputs produce the same output.

Front

What is a mapping diagram?

Back

A mapping diagram visually represents a function by showing how each input is paired with its corresponding output.

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

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