Functions

A review of the vocabulary associated with mathematical functions

QuestionAnswer
Relation A mathematical relationship between quantities
Function A rule of correspondence that matches each item from one set with exactly one item from another set.
Domain The set of all possible inputs for a function
Range The set of all possible outputs for a function
Inverse of a Function Acts like an "Undo" function. If your function mapped 2 to 5, this would map 5 back to 2.
Opposites x and -x
Reciprocals x and 1/x
One-to-one function Each input corresponds to only one output and each output to only one input. The input and output are "married".
Recursive Function This type of function defines the value of an output in terms of prior outputs. It refers back.
First Differences Found by subtracting consecutive terms in a sequence. If these are all equal, the sequence has a linear model.
Second Differences Are found by subtracting consecutive first differences. If these are all equal, the sequence has a quadratic model.
Compound or Piece-wise Defined Function A function that has different rules that apply for different types of inputs.
Composition of Functions To arrange functions in a specific order. For example: First plug into f, then plug your result into g.
Dependent Variable A quantity whose value is based upon the value of another quantity.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
