What is the horizantal line test and vertical line test?
Horizonatal line test is a test use to determine if a function is one-to-one. If a horizontal line intersects a function's graph more than once, then the function is not one-to-one. A one-to-one function is a function where every element of the range correspons to exactly one element of the domain. Vertical line test is a test used to determine if a function is a function or relation. If you can put a vertical line through graph and it only hits the graph once, then it is a function. If it hits more than once, then it is a relation.
Can you determine whether the inverse of a function is a function by using the horizontal line test?
true
How do you determine weather the graph represent a function?
The "vertical line test" will tell you if it is a function or not. The graph is not a function if it is possible to draw a vertical line through two points.
How does the vertical line test determine if a graph represents a function?
Functions cannot have two y-values (outputs) for any single x-value (input), so if you can draw a vertical line that touches more than 1 point on the graph, it is not a function.
How will you determine if a graph is a function or a mere relation?
You use the "vertical line test". If anywhere you can draw a vertical line that goes through two points of the graph, the relation is not a function; otherwise, it is a function. This is just another way of saying that in a function for every x value (input) there is AT MOST one y value (output).
