discrete graph
a graph that consists of points that are not connected
relation
a set of ordered pairs
domain
the set of first numbers (x-values) of the ordered pairs in a relation
range
the set of second numbers (y-values) of the ordered pairs in a relation
mapping
illustrates how each element of the domain is paired with an element of the range
function
a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range
function notations
a way to name a function that is defined by an equation replace y with f(x)
input
a value substituted for an x-value in a function
output
the result of substituting a value into function
vertical line test
if any vertical line passes through the graph of a relation no more than once then it is a function
zeros
the x intercepts of the graph of a function the point for which f(x)=0
