Not calculus, but correct.

This is known as the vertical line test and is used to teach the basics of defining a function.

Which statement is a correct interpretation of the vertical line test?

A-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at exactly one point, the graph represents a function.B-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at exactly one point, the graph does not represent a function. C-If there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at more than one point, the graph represents a function.-DIf there exists a vertical line that intersects the graph at more than one point, the graph does not represent a function


When can you say that the graph is function or mere relation?

If a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point then it is not a function.


If no vertical line intersects the graph of a relation in more than one point then the relation is a function?

True.


What is used to determined if the graph is a function or not?

There is a method called a vertical line test. A function is defined as a system that has one output for each input. Therefore for every x, there is only one y. So if you draw a vertical line anywhere and you get more than one point that intersects the graph, it is not a function. If it intersects only once, the graph is a function.


When does a graph represents a function?

take a vertical line, if another line intersects that vertical line at 2 points, then it is a function.In other words,a graph represents a function if each vertical line meets its graph in a unique point.


How can you tell if a graph is a function?

The vertical line test can be used to determine if a graph is a function. If two points in a graph are connected with the help of a vertical line, it is not a function. If it cannot be connected, it is a function.


What is an example of an x -intercept?

An x-intercept is the point where a function intersects the x-axis on a Cartesian coordinate plane. For example, if the graph of a parabola is plotted and the graph intersects the x-axis on the coordinate plane, the point(s) where the graph intersects the x-axis are the x-intercepts for that function.


Where is the Y intercept on a graph?

It is the point where the curve (i.e. line) intersects the vertical axis or the y-axis. ... or when x=0.


Is a graph a relation or function?

A graph can represent either a relation or a function, depending on the nature of the relationship between the variables depicted. A relation is simply a set of ordered pairs, while a function is a specific type of relation where each input (or x-value) is associated with exactly one output (or y-value). To determine if a graph represents a function, the vertical line test can be applied: if any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is not 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).


What is x intercept defined as?

The point at which a function crosses the x-axis.


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'.)
