Exploring Functions in MA101

The video tutorial explains the concept of functions as a special type of relation where each element in the domain is paired with a unique element in the range. It provides examples to illustrate when a relation is a function and introduces the vertical line test as a graphical method to determine if a relation is a function. The tutorial also discusses cases where relations are not functions and concludes with a summary of the key points.

What makes a function special compared to other types of relations?

• Every element in the range is paired with a unique element in the domain.

• Every element in the domain is paired with a unique element in the range.

• Every element in the domain is paired with multiple elements in the range.

• Every element in the range is paired with multiple elements in the domain.

In a function, what is true about the elements in the domain?

• They can be paired with no elements in the range.

• They can be paired with multiple elements in the range.

• They must be paired with the same element in the range.

• They must be paired with a unique element in the range.

Which of the following is true for Relation A?

• All Y values are different.

• Each X value is paired with a unique Y value.

• Each X value is paired with multiple Y values.

• All X values are the same.

Why is Relation C not considered a function?

• Each X value is paired with a unique Y value.

• The same X value is paired with multiple Y values.

• All X values are different.

• All Y values are the same.

What is the vertical line test used for?

• To determine if a function is linear.

• To find the domain of a function.

• To find the range of a function.

• To determine if a relation is a function.

What does it mean if a vertical line intersects a graph at more than one point?

• The function is quadratic.

• The relation is a function.

• The relation is not a function.

• The function is linear.

In the vertical line test, what indicates that a relation is a function?

• The vertical line intersects the graph at two points.

• The vertical line intersects the graph at exactly one point.

• The vertical line never intersects the graph.

• The vertical line intersects the graph at multiple points.

Why is the sine function considered a function?

• All X values are the same.

• Each X value is paired with multiple Y values.

• Each X value is paired with a unique Y value.

• All Y values are the same.

What is a key characteristic of a function?

• Every input has multiple outputs.

• Every input has only one output.

• Every output has multiple inputs.

• Every output has no inputs.

What should you remember about functions?

• A function is a special type of relation where every Y gets mapped to only one X value.

• A function is a special type of relation where every X gets mapped to only one Y value.

• A function is a special type of relation where every X gets mapped to multiple Y values.

• A function is a special type of relation where every Y gets mapped to multiple X values.
