4.8 Functions and Relations: Decide Whether A Relation Is A Function and Use Function Notation

1) The document discusses functions and relations, defining a function as a relation where each input has exactly one output. 2) It provides examples of determining if equations represent functions using the vertical line test, and introduces function notation. 3) The document shows how to evaluate functions using function notation and how to graph linear functions.
