an example would be if you had line AB who's points are (5,3) and another at (1,5). Connecting diagonally. If you were to put a vertical line anywhere between the points. it only goes through one point. Making it a function.

Can a one to one function not be a function?

"y = f(x) is a function if it passes the vertical line test. It is a 1-1 function if it passes both the vertical line test and the horizontal line test. " - In order to be a one-to-one function, it first has to BE a function and pass the vertical line test. For example, a relation on a graph like a circle that does not pass the vertical line test is not function nor one-to-one.


How do you use a vertical line test to determine if a graph represents a function?

A vertical test line is useful because, by definition, a function has one and only one result value for each input value. If you can find a vertical line that intersects the curve of the line, then it is not a function. A simple example is a circle.


What is the only type of line that is not a function?

A vertical line. Remember that one test to see if a relation is a function is the vertical line test. A vertical line would fail that of course.


What does a vertical line tell you?

A vertical line can be used to test whether or not a graph is a function.

What are the functions in storage tanks?

To test if a storage tank is a function you can use the vertical line test (i.e. if a vertical line can be drawn through the storage tank where it intersects more than one point it is NOT a function). For example: function= vuvu non-function= void (A vertical line intersects two parts of the 'd' and 'o'.)


Can you determine whether the inverse of a function is a function by using vertical line test?

Not quite. You can use a vertical line test on the graph of the inverse mapping, OR you can use a horizontal line test on the original graph. The horizontal line test is used in the same way.


Does a circle pass the vertical line test?

No. Because a vertical line will pass through two points on the graph.


How can you tell if a graph sHow is a function?

Test it by the vertical line test. That is, if a vertical line passes through the two points of the graph, this graph is not the graph of a function.


How do you insert vertical or horizontal line in graph of the function in matlab for testing whether it is function or not?

In MATLAB, you can insert vertical or horizontal lines on a graph by using the xline or yline functions, respectively. For example, to add a vertical line at ( x = a ), use xline(a, 'r--'), and for a horizontal line at ( y = b ), use yline(b, 'g--'). These lines can help you visually test if a given relation defines a function by checking if any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point (the vertical line test).


Is a vertical line an example of linear perspective?

no


How do you use the vetical line test to determine a function?

f(x) = x2 This is a function by the vertical line test because a vertical line drawn through this function will only intersect the function at one point
