Function
A relation such that no two y-coordinates have the same x-coordinate
Can be seen with vertical line test
•x does not repeat
Every function is a relation, but not every relation is a function
Relation
Any set of ordered pairs (x,y)
Can be represented by an equation, a table of values, a graph
Everything is a relation, not everything is a function
Domain
The domain of a function is the set of real values of the independent variable (x) that produce real values for the dependent variable (y)
•Domain is X
Range
The set of real values for the dependent variable
•Range is Y
Function notation
Writing y as f(x)
Does not mean f multiplied by x
It gives us ability to see x value and y value at the same time
f(x)=y
You can’t square root a …
Negative number
You can square root numbers equal to or greater than zero
Absolute value
The distance a number is from zero
Get answer first before changing to a positive
Factoring
Write an expression as a product
Factor completely
Conjugate binomials
Two binomials with identical terms but opposite signs on the second term
The zero product property
This property states that is a X b = 0, then either a=0 or b=0
