Functions

A function is a relation in which each


element of the domain is paired with exactly
one element of the range. Another way of
saying it is that there is one and only one
output (y) with each input (x).

Is this relation a function?
{(1,3), (2,3), (3,3)}
1. Yes
2. No

Answer Now
Vertical Line Test (pencil test)
If any vertical line passes through more
than one point of the graph, then that
relation is not a function.
Are these functions?

FUNCTION! FUNCTION! NOPE!
