Relations and Functions
YES! NO!
Is this relation a function?!
Is this relation a function?! YES! Each x-value has a unique y-value.
Input/Output Mapping Domain = {1,2,3,4} Range = {4,8,12,16} 1 4 2 8 3 12 4 16 Domain = {1,2,3,4} Range = {4,8,12,16}
Is this relation a function?!
Is this relation a function?! X Y 1 2 4 3 NO! The same x-value appears more than once!
Input/Output Mapping Domain = {0,2,4} Range = {1,2,3,4} Input Output 0 1 2 2 4 3 4 Domain = {0,2,4} Range = {1,2,3,4} Input 2 is mapped to both 2 and 4.
Are the graphs functions?! Hint: Use the VLT! If a vertical line passes through a graph more than once, the graph is NOT the graph of a function.
