Understanding Functions and Their Properties

Fiona, a certified teacher and practice coach with study.com, guides viewers through key math concepts relevant to the Praxis Core Math test (course 5164). The video covers understanding the domain and range of functions, identifying whether a set of data points forms a function, and calculating the slope of a line. Fiona provides clear explanations and examples to help viewers grasp these concepts, aiming to boost their confidence and preparedness for the exam.

• The set of all possible outputs

• The average of all outputs

• The set of all possible inputs

What is the domain of a function?

• The average of all inputs

• The difference between the highest and lowest values

• The set of all possible inputs

• The set of all possible outputs

What is the function of the absolute value in the function f(x) = |2x - 7|?

• To make all outputs negative
