Attributes of Functions

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.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a function?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of a function intersects the y-axis, represented as (0, y).

Front

What is the x-intercept of a function?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the graph of a function intersects the x-axis, represented as (x, 0).

Front

Define 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

Define 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

What is a parent function?

Back

A parent function is the simplest form of a function type, from which other functions can be derived by transformations.

Front

What is a rational function?

Back

A rational function is a function that can be expressed as the ratio of two polynomials.

Front

How do you find the domain of a rational function?

Back

To find the domain of a rational function, identify values that make the denominator zero and exclude them from the domain.

Front

What is the square root function?

Back

Front

What is the significance of intercepts in a function?

Back

Intercepts help identify where the function crosses the axes, providing key points for graphing.
