Understanding Functions and Relations

This video tutorial covers the identification of functions, starting with basic vocabulary such as relations, ordered pairs, domain, and range. It explains the difference between relations and functions, emphasizing that a function has a unique output for each input. The tutorial provides examples and practice exercises to help identify functions using ordered pairs, mapping diagrams, and graphs. The vertical line test is introduced as a method to determine if a graph represents a function. The video concludes with practice problems to reinforce the concepts learned.

What is a relation in the context of functions?

• A single ordered pair

• A set of one or more ordered pairs

• A graph with multiple lines

• A table with only Y values

What is the domain in a set of ordered pairs?

• The Y values

• The difference between X and Y values

• The X values

• The sum of X and Y values

What is the range in a set of ordered pairs?

• The sum of X and Y values

• The Y values

• The difference between X and Y values

• The X values

Which statement is true about functions?

• Each Y value must pair with exactly one X value

• Every Y value must have multiple X values

• Every X value can have multiple Y values

• Each X value must pair with exactly one Y value

How can you determine if a set of ordered pairs is a function?

• Check if the difference between X and Y is constant

• Check if the sum of X and Y is constant

• Check if all X values are unique

• Check if all Y values are the same

What does it mean if two X values in a function are the same?

• The Y values must be the same

• The function is valid

• The Y values must be different

• The function is not valid

In a mapping diagram, what indicates that a relation is not a function?

• Multiple Y values pointing to one X value

• Multiple X values pointing to one Y value

• One X value pointing to multiple Y values

• One Y value pointing to multiple X values

In a table, what indicates that a relation is a function?

• All Y values are the same

• All X values are unique

• The table has more Y values than X values

• The table has more X values than Y values

What is the purpose of the vertical line test?

• To find the slope of a graph

• To identify the range of a graph

• To check if a graph is linear

• To determine if a graph represents a function

If a vertical line crosses a graph at more than one point, what does it indicate?

• The graph is linear

• The graph is not a function

• The graph is quadratic

• The graph is a function
