Chapter 3 Functions Flashcards
Relation
Pairs inputs with outputs
Function
Pairs each input with exactly one output
Function
When all the x’s are different
Domain
Is all the Input values (x’s)
Range
Is all the output values (y’s)
Linear Function
Graph is a non-vertical line and has a constant rate of change
Non-linear Function
Graph is not a line and does not have a constant rate of change
Independent Variable
Represents the input values
Dependent Variable
Represents the output Values
Discrete Domain
Set of input values that consists of only certain numbers
Continuous Domain
Set of input values that consists of all numbers in an interval
Function Notation
F(x) and is another name for y
Vertical Line Test
Test on the graph to see if it is a function
X-intercept
Where the graph crosses the x-axis. Y=0
y-intercept
Where the graph crosses the y-axis, x=0
