TUTORIAL 1

Function, Domain and Range


1. Use the terms domain, range, independent variable, and dependent variable to explain how a function relates one
variable to another variable.
2. Explain how the vertical line test is used to detect functions.
3. Does the independent variable of a function belong to the domain or range? Does the dependent variable belong to the
domain or range?
