Understand Functions

Question 1 • EF Math 12 1st Nine Weeks

Relate a vertical line test to understanding functions.

Answer
A
Each horizontal line drawn through the graph will intersect a function in only one location
B
Each vertical line drawn through the graph will intersect a function in many locations
C
Each vertical line drawn through the graph will intersect a relation in only one location
D
Each vertical line drawn through the graph will intersect a function in only one location

Explanation

A graph represents a function when each input x has no more than one output y. The vertical line test checks this by drawing vertical lines: each must intersect the graph at most once. Therefore, the correct choice is “Each vertical line drawn through the graph will intersect a function in only one location.”
