What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a graph represents a function. If any vertical line intersects the graph more than once, it is not a function.

What does it mean for a set of values to be a function?

Back

A set of values is a function if each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value).

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) that the function can accept.

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

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 corresponds to only one output.
