Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    In math, a function relates or connects one set to another set in a particular way, where a set is a group or collection of things.

  • 2

    The input set of a function is called the domain, and the output set is called the range; these can be shown in a function table.

  • 3

    A function must produce only one output value for each input value; this can be tested visually using the vertical line test.
