Function
A function f is a rule that assigns to each value x in a set D
a unique value denoted f(x). The set D is the domain of the
function. The range is the set of all values of f(x) produced
as x varies over the entire domain.
If f is a function that maps elements of set X to elements
of set Y.

Vertical Line Test:
If the vertical line cuts the graph at exactly one point, then the
graph is a function.
If the vertical line cuts the graph at more than one point, then
the graph is not a function.
Vertical Line Test for Functions
Do the graphs represent y as a function of x?
no yes yes

Secant Lines and the Difference Quotient
A line through any two points on the a curve is called a
secant line.
