5 Must Know Facts For Your Next Test

  1. A function can be defined using different types of expressions such as equations, tables, and graphs.
  2. The domain of a function is the complete set of possible input values (x-values) that produce valid outputs.
  3. The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting output values (y-values).
  4. A function passes the vertical line test if no vertical line intersects its graph more than once.
  5. Function notation $f(x)$ specifies that $f$ is a function with $x$ as its input variable.
