Exploring Functions in Unit 7-2

This video tutorial covers the concept of functions, explaining their characteristics and how to determine if a relation is a function. It introduces function notation and provides real-life examples, such as a vending machine analogy. The tutorial also explains the vertical line test for identifying functions on a graph. In the second part, it focuses on evaluating functions with given values, using examples to demonstrate the process.

What is a function in mathematical terms?

• A relation where each element of the range is paired with exactly one element of the domain.

• A relation where each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range.

• A relation where elements of the range can be paired with multiple elements of the domain.

• A relation where elements of the domain can be paired with multiple elements of the range.

What does the vertical line test determine?

• If a graph is a function.

• If a graph is linear.

• If a graph is quadratic.

In the vertical line test, what indicates that a graph is not a function?

• The vertical line touches the graph at only one point.

• The vertical line does not touch the graph.

• The vertical line touches the graph at exactly two points.

• The vertical line touches the graph at more than one point.
