The value that is put into a function.

Input

100

Is the following relation a function? {(1,2), (-2,0), (-1,2),(1,3)}

No

Why is the function y = x3 - 3x non-linear?


y = x3 - 3x is NON-LINEAR because it does not create a straight line.

y = x3 - 3x is NON-LINEAR because the exponent of an "x" is 3.

x      -1     0      1

y       3      8      13

y = 5x + 8

In a function, how many outputs can one input have?

Each input has one and only one output

200

Is this a function?

Yes

200

3x - 3y = 1

Yes, it is the standard form of a line (Ax +By = C)

200


x      -1     0      1

y       3      -2      -7

y = -5x - 2

7

300

True or False: Not all relations are functions, but all functions are relations.

True

300

Is this a function and why?

No because x=8 has two outputs (3 and -3)

300

x      y

-2    -1

-1    -1

0     -1

1     -1


Yes, the rate of change is constant.

300

x      -21     0      21

y       -4      -7      -10

y = -3/21 x - 7 OR y= -1/7x - 7

Does the following table represent a function? Why or why not?
x      y
1      2
2      5
6      2
2      9
5      1

No, because the input (x) of 2 has two different outputs (y)


400

x      y

-3    -2

-1    1

0     4

2     7

No, the rate of change is NOT constant

400


x      2     3      5

y      2      1      -1


y = -x + 4

400

True or False?  A function can have repeated y-values?
