12.2 functions and graphs f(x) = x+4 where the domain is {-2,-1,0,1,2,3}

12.2 Functions and Graphs

F(X) = x+4 where the domain is {-2,-1,0,1,2,3}

To determine if an equation is a function…

Create a (x, y) table

Is y = x² a function?

Is x = y2 a function?

No, because x = 9 is equal to both 3 and –3.

Is y = |x| a function?

Is x = |y| a function?

No, because x = 7 is equal to both 7 and –7.

YES

To determine if a graph is a function…

Perform the Vertical Line Test

Is this a graph of a function?
