IDENTIFYING FUNCTIONS WORKSHEET WITH ANSWERS
About "Identifying functions worksheet with answers"
Identifying functions worksheet with answers :
Here we are going to see some practice questions on identifying functions.
Question 1 :
Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following graphs represent a function.
Question 2 :
Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following graphs represent a function.
Question 3 :
Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following graphs represent a function.
Question 4 :
Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following graphs represent a function.
For many functions we can obtain its graph. But not every graph will represent a function. Following test helps us in determining if the given graph is a function or not.
Vertical line test
Vertical line test for functions :
This is a tool which can be used to test whether the given graph represents a function or not.
The following are the steps of vertical line test :
Step 1 :
Draw a vertical line at any where on the given graph.
Step 2 :
We have to check whether the vertical line drawn on the graph intersects the graph in at most one point.
Step 3 :
If the vertical line intersects the graph in at most one point, then the given graph represents a function.
If the vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, then the given graph does not represent a function.
Caution :
For some graphs, the vertical line will intersect the graph in one point at one position and more than one point at a different position.
In the above situation, the graph will not represent a function.
Key concept :
A graph represents a function only if every vertical line intersects the graph in at most one point.
Let us see some examples to understand how to tell if the graph is a function or not.
Problem 1 :
Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following graphs represent a function.
Solution :
The given graph does not represent a function as a vertical line cuts the graph at two points P and Q.
Example 2 :
Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following graphs represent a function.
Solution :
The given graph represents a function as any vertical line will intersect the graph at most one point P.
Example 3 :
Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following graphs represent a function.
Solution :
The given graph does not represent a function as a vertical line cuts the graph at two points A and B.
Example 4 :
Use the vertical line test to determine which of the following graphs represent a function.
Solution :
The given graph represents a function as the graph satisfies the vertical line test.
