Certainly! Below are examples of a function and a non-function, including their respective tables, graphs, and a basic description.
Function
Definition: A function is a relation where each input (x) has exactly one output (y).
Example Function: \( f(x) = 2x + 3 \)
Table
| x | f(x) | |---|------| | -2| -1 | | -1| 1 | | 0| 3 | | 1| 5 | | 2| 7 |
Graph
Non-Function
Definition: A non-function fails the vertical line test, meaning there is at least one input (x) that has more than one output (y).
Example Non-Function: The relation defined by the equation \( y^2 = x \)
Table
| x | y | |---|---------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | | 1 | -1 | | 4 | 2 | | 4 | -2 |
Graph
Summary
- Function: A relationship where each input corresponds to exactly one output (example: linear function \( f(x) = 2x + 3 \)).
- Non-Function: A relationship where a single input can correspond to multiple outputs (example: the equation \( y^2 = x \)).
Note
The graphs provided are conceptual illustrations. For accurate graphing, you may want to use a software tool such as Desmos or GeoGebra. The image links are placeholders for the purpose of this example.
