Main home here.

  1. Which of the following statements is correct?
    Relations and functions are the same
    Every relation is also a function
    Every function is a relation
    Every relation with range $\mathbb{R}$ is a function.
  2. Which of the following equations doesn't represent a function?
    $y=\pm\sqrt{x}$
    $y=\sqrt{x}$
    $y=x^2$
    $y=x$
  3. Which of the following relations is a function?
    $x^2-y=0$
    $x^2+y^2=1$
    $x^2-y^2=1$
    $x^2-y^2=4$
  4. In order to check if a graph represents a function, one uses $\cdots$?
    the horizontal line test
    the vertical line test
    the slanted line test
    the line symmetry test
  5. If the ordered pairs $\{(a,1),(2,3),(4,5),(6,7)\}$ is a function, which restriction is unnecessary?
    $a\neq 6$
    $a\neq 4$
    $a\neq 2$
    $a\neq 1$
  6. If the ordered pairs $\{(a,1),(2,3),(4,5),(6,7)\}$ is a function, which restriction is necessary?
    $a\neq 5$
    $a\neq 3$
    $a\neq 2$
    $a\neq 1$
  7. Which of the following equations represents a relation that is not a function?
    $x^2-y=1$
    $x^2-y^2=1$
    $x^2-2y=1$
    $x^2+2y=1$
  8. If the ordered pairs $\{(1,a),(1,2),(-2,b-a),(-2,0)\}$ define a function, find $a$ and $b$.
    $a=1,b=2$
    $a=2,b=1$
    $a=1,b=1$
    $a=2,b=2$
  9. Do the ordered pairs $\{(1,1),(2,1),(3,1),(4,1),(5,1)\}$ represent a function?
    No, because $1$ was repeated a lot
    Yes, it is a constant function
    No, because its graph is vertical
    Not sure to be honest
  10. Which of the following is a way of representing functions?
    Using mapping diagrams
    Using graphs
    Using equations
    All of the above
