We will see these toolkit functions, combinations of toolkit functions, their graphs, and their transformations frequently throughout this book. It will be very helpful if we can recognize these toolkit functions and their features quickly by name, formula, graph, and basic table properties. The graphs and sample table values are included with each function shown in

Key concepts
- A relation is a set of ordered pairs. A function is a specific type of relation in which each domain value, or input, leads to exactly one range value, or output. See
[link] and
[link] .
- Function notation is a shorthand method for relating the input to the output in the form
See
[link] and
[link] .
- In tabular form, a function can be represented by rows or columns that relate to input and output values. See
[link] .
- To evaluate a function, we determine an output value for a corresponding input value. Algebraic forms of a function can be evaluated by replacing the input variable with a given value. See
[link] and
[link] .
- To solve for a specific function value, we determine the input values that yield the specific output value. See
[link] .
- An algebraic form of a function can be written from an equation. See
[link] and
[link] .
- Input and output values of a function can be identified from a table. See
[link] .
- Relating input values to output values on a graph is another way to evaluate a function. See
[link] .
- A function is one-to-one if each output value corresponds to only one input value. See
[link] .
- A graph represents a function if any vertical line drawn on the graph intersects the graph at no more than one point. See
[link] .
- The graph of a one-to-one function passes the horizontal line test. See
[link] .

What is the difference between a relation and a function?
A relation is a set of ordered pairs. A function is a special kind of relation in which no two ordered pairs have the same first coordinate.

Why does the vertical line test tell us whether the graph of a relation represents a function?
When a vertical line intersects the graph of a relation more than once, that indicates that for that input there is more than one output. At any particular input value, there can be only one output if the relation is to be a function.
