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 at more than one point, it is not a function.

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.

What is a mapping in the context of functions?

Back

A mapping is a relation that pairs each element of a set with an element of another set, which can be a function if each input is paired with exactly one output.

What is a one-to-one function?

Back

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