Lesson 3

Function Junction

Identify and describe function relationships.

Learning Focus

Identify functions and describe relationships between inputs and outputs across representations.

Big idea

A function assigns each allowable input exactly one output. You can see this in:

  • graphs (vertical line test)
  • tables (no repeated input with different outputs)
  • equations (a rule that produces one value)

Takeaways

  • Ask: “For each xx, is there exactly one yy?”
  • Features (intercepts, increasing/decreasing) live on top of that definition.
