• A function is a relation or rule that assigns each ___________ exactly one
__________. Each ______-value is paired with exactly one _____-value.
FUNCTIONS
• A graph that is a function will pass the _______________ line test where any
_______________ line drawn on the graph will pass through only ______ point.
• Would a vending machine like the one shown represent a function? Explain.
• A customer chose A3 and received fruit punch. If the next customer chooses A3 and receives
milk, would the vending machine represent a function? Explain.
