What is a function?

  1. A relation that assigns to each element of a set a unique element of another set

  2. A set of ordered pairs

  3. A graph

  4. An equation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A function is a relation that assigns to each element of a set, called the domain, a unique element of another set, called the codomain.

What is the domain of a function?

  1. The set of all possible inputs

  2. The set of all possible outputs

  3. The set of all ordered pairs in the function

  4. The graph of the function


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of all possible values that can be input into the function.

What is the codomain of a function?

  1. The set of all possible inputs

  2. The set of all possible outputs

  3. The set of all ordered pairs in the function

  4. The graph of the function


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The codomain of a function is the set of all possible values that can be output by the function.

What is the range of a function?

  1. The set of all possible inputs

  2. The set of all possible outputs

  3. The set of all ordered pairs in the function

  4. The graph of the function


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The range of a function is the set of all possible values that can be output by the function.

What is the inverse of a function?

  1. A function that undoes the original function

  2. A function that has the same domain and codomain as the original function

  3. A function that has the same graph as the original function

  4. A function that has the same equation as the original function


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The inverse of a function is a function that undoes the original function, meaning that if you apply the inverse function to the output of the original function, you get the input.

  2. A function whose equation is a quadratic equation

  3. A function whose rate of change is not constant

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A quadratic function is a function whose graph is a parabola, whose equation is a quadratic equation, and whose rate of change is not constant.

What is a polynomial function?
