    Study Notes

    Identifying Functions

    • A vending machine is a function as long as each selection has only one output
    • It is still a function if a selection has the same outputs for every input
    • If a selection has different outputs for the same input then it is not a function.
    • A function is when one input maps to only one output.
    • If the vertical line test is passed on the graph of a function, it means that a vertical line drawn on the graph will pass through only one point.
    • Each input value in a table is connected to only one output value in a function.
    • A set of ordered pairs is considered a function if no input is repeated with different output values.
    • A function will not have an arrow pointing toward the same output for a repeated input on an arrow diagram.
    • In a scatter graph, each point should only have one y-value for every x-value.
    • A missing x-value in a set of ordered pairs will not be considered a function if the x-value is the same value used for a different y-value
    • To make a list of ordered pairs a function, the missing x-value should be a number not used in the set yet
    • To make a list of ordered pairs NOT a function, the missing x-value should be a number already used in the set paired with a different y-value.

    Non-Examples

    • A function is when one input maps to only one output.
    • If the vertical line test is passed on the graph of a function, it means that a vertical line drawn on the graph will pass through only one point.
    • Each input value in a table is connected to only one output value in a function.
    • A set of ordered pairs is considered a function if no input is repeated with different output values.
    • A function will not have an arrow pointing toward the same output for a repeated input on an arrow diagram.
    • In a scatter graph, each point should only have one y-value for every x-value.
    • A missing x-value in a set of ordered pairs will not be considered a function if the x-value is the same value used for a different y-value
    • To make a list of ordered pairs NOT a function, the missing x-value should be a number already used in the set paired with a different y-value

    Homework

    • Charlotte's scatter plot shows a function because each input is only connected to one output.
    • Jace's arrow diagram demonstrates a function because each input only goes to one output.
    • Nathan created a table that demonstrates a function because each input value only has one output value.
    • Orlando's list of ordered pairs represents a function because no input is repeated with a different output value.
    • The letters that spell "Four" are in alphabetical order.
