Understanding Functions and Relations

The video tutorial explains the concept of a function as a relationship between a domain and a range, where each input has a single output. It differentiates between functions and non-functions, using graphical examples to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial introduces the vertical line test as a method to determine if a graph represents a function, emphasizing that a function must have only one output for each input.

What is a function in terms of domain and range?

• A relation with no inputs

• A relation where each input has multiple outputs

• A relation where each input has a single output

• A relation where outputs are not defined

Which of the following would NOT be considered a function?

• A relation where each input is unique

• A relation where one input maps to multiple outputs

• A relation with a defined range

• A relation where one input maps to one output

What does the domain of a function represent?

• The set of all possible relations

• The set of all possible graphs

• The set of all possible inputs

• The set of all possible outputs

In the given example, what is the output when the input is -1?

• 5

• 2

• 3

• 4

What happens when x = 2 in the given function?

• y is 2

• y is -2

• y is 3

• y is undefined

What is the output when x = 3 in the example?

• y is 2

• y is 3

• y is -2

• y is 4

Why is the relation at x = 4 not considered a function?

• It is not defined for x = 4

• It has no outputs

• It has multiple outputs for a single input

• It has a single output for each input

What is the vertical line test used for?

• To identify the domain of a function

• To calculate the slope of a line

• To find the range of a function

• To determine if a graph is a function

If a vertical line intersects a graph at two points, what does it indicate?

• The graph has no range

• The graph has no domain

• The graph is not a function

• The graph is a function

What is a special case of a relation?

• A range

• A function

• A graph

• A domain
