Functions and Function Notation

Is the relation a function? Why?

• Yes, because the x-value 11 has two y-values paired with it.

• Yes, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it.

• No, because the x-value 11 has two y-values paired with it.

• No, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it.

Which set of values is a function?

• (9,5) (10,5) (9,-5) (10,-5)

• (3,4) (4,-3) (7,4) (3, 8)

• (6,-5) (7, -3) (8, -1) (9, 1)

• (2, -2) (5, 9) (5, -7) (1, 4)

Is this graph a function or not a function? 

• Function

• Not a Function

Is the following graph a function? Explain.

• Yes, because no x-value repeats.

• Yes, because they are individual dots.

• No, because the x repeats.

• No, because it is not a line.

How would you write y = 2x - 3 in function notation?

• y = 2x-3

• f = 2x - 3

• f(x) = 2x - 3

• Can't be written in function notation
