Answer: It IS a function (no x−values repeat) 4.
It is NOT a function (an x−value, 1, repeats with a different y−value)
It IS a function (an x−value, −4, repeats with the SAME
y−value, 11)

1. Hold a pencil vertically ...
2. Then, slide it across the curve.
2. Then, slide it across the curve.
*Does the pencil ever hit the curve TWICE?
*Does the pencil ever hit the curve TWICE?
If the pencil hits the curve ONCE, it IS a function.
If the pencil hits the curve ONCE, it IS a function.
If the pencil hits the curve TWICE, it is NOT a function.
If the pencil hits the curve TWICE, it is NOT a function.
The pencil hits the curve ONCE, so it PASSES the vertical line test.
It IS a function.
The pencil hits the curve TWICE, so it FAILS the vertical line test.
It is NOT a function.

12. Functions
There are different ways to show each part of a function. Let’s use the example of: The effect of temperature on cricket chirps
This is the list of all input (x) values.
This is the list of all output (y) values.
Which variable causes the change?
Which variable responds to the change?
Which letter is listed first in an ordered pair?
Which letter is listed second in an ordered pair?
This is what goes in.
This is what comes out.
Conclusion: As temperature increases, cricket chirps increase.
