1 - Evaluating Function

1. The document defines functions and discusses how to determine if a relation is a function using the vertical line test. 2. It provides examples of evaluating functions by substituting input values into the function equation and using function notation. 3. The document shows how to graph linear functions by plotting the input-output pairs from the function equation.

Functions

Goal:
1.Define Function
2.Determine whether a given
equation or graph is a function not.
Definitions
Relation - Any set of ordered pairs

Function -A type of relation


where there is exactly one
output for every input. For
every x there is exactly one y.
