Question

A function is a special type of a relationship in mathematics. Provide three examples of a function and three examples of a non-function (that is, a relationship that is not a function). Give at least one example in table form, one example in graph form, and one example in equation form.

Answer 1

EXAMPLE OF FUNCTIONS:

f(x) = 3x+2
f(x) = ∛(x²-5x+3)
f(x) = ax³+bx²-c

EXAMPLE OF RELATION:
x²+y²=r² (Circle)
x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 (ellipse)
y = √(x+5) - 3 (parabola opening right/left)
