What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output for each input. In mathematical terms, if f is a function, then for every x in the domain, there is a unique y in the range such that y = f(x).

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.

Front

How do you determine if a set of values is a function?

Back

A set of values is a function if no two ordered pairs have the same first element (x-value).

What is the notation for the inverse of a function?

Back

The inverse of a function f is denoted as f^{-1}. It reverses the roles of inputs and outputs.

How do you find the inverse of a function algebraically?

Back

To find the inverse of a function, swap the x and y in the equation and solve for y.

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that can be graphically represented as a straight line. It has the form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

What is a 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 more than once, it is not a function.

Front

What is an absolute value function?

Back

An absolute value function is a function that outputs the distance of a number from zero, defined as f(x) = |x|.
