5 WAYS to determine if it is a function
Relation- a set of input values and output values, often written as ordered pairs (where x is input and y is output)A function is a rule that assigns each input to exactly one output. Input Output 2 3 4 4 6 6 8
This mapping shows each input value and its corresponding output value. This is NOT a function. Why? Input Output 2 3 4 4 6 6 8 The input “2” has more than one output.
Is this a function? Input Output 12 03 Yes, the inputs have only one output.
Is this relation a function? (3,1), (5,3), (2,8), (6,8) Yes, each input (x) has only one output (y)! None of the x’s are repeated!
Is this relation a function? (5,8), (3,7), (1,6), (5,4) No, the input 5 has two outputs!
Is this a function? No, because the input 2 has two outputs. Draw a vertical line to check.
Is this a function? Yes, because each input has only one output. Draw vertical lines to check.
Is this a function? No, because the input, 3, has infinite outputs.
Is this a function? NO, use the vertical line test.
Is this a function? y = 4x + 1 Yes, it’s linear, so think about the shape of the graph and the vertical line test!
Is this a function? x y 0 1 • 3 2 5 Yes, each input has only one output!
