Q & A

What is the definition of a function according to the video?

A function is defined such that for every x-coordinate, there must not be a repetition; each x-coordinate must correspond to exactly one y-coordinate.

Why is option A incorrect for the first question in the video?

Option A is incorrect because the x-coordinate negative two is repeated twice, violating the definition of a function.

What is the correct answer for the first question in the video?

The correct answer is B, as it is the only option where the x-coordinates do not repeat.

What is the vertical line test mentioned in the video?

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a graph represents a function by checking if any vertical line drawn would intersect the graph more than once. If it does, the graph does not represent a function.

Why is option B the correct answer for question two in the video?

Option B is correct for question two because it is the only graph that passes the vertical line test, meaning for every value of x, there is only one value of y.

What does the term 'one-to-many' correspondence mean in the context of functions?

In the context of functions, 'one-to-many' correspondence means that a single x-value can map to multiple y-values, which is not the definition of a function.

Why is option C the correct answer for question three in the video?

Option C is correct for question three because it represents a 'one-to-many' correspondence, which is a characteristic of a function.

What does it mean for a function to be undefined at a certain value?

A function is undefined at a certain value if the function's expression cannot be evaluated at that value, often due to division by zero or taking an even root of a negative number.

What is the correct answer for question four in the video?

The correct answer for question four is D, as it is the only graph that fails the vertical line test, indicating that it does not define a function.

How is the value of f(x) calculated when x is negative two in the video?

The value of f(x) when x is negative two is calculated by substituting x with -2 in the expression f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x - 15, which results in a value of negative five.

What is the range of the function f(x) = x/2 + 3 given the domain {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}?

The range of the function f(x) = x/2 + 3 with the given domain is {2, 2.5, 4, 5, 6.5, 7}, which corresponds to the values of f(x) when x takes on the values in the domain.

What is the value of f(g(3)) in the video?

The value of f(g(3)) is zero. This is found by first calculating g(3) which is 1, and then substituting this into f(x) which results in f(1) = 1^4 - 1 = 0.

What value of x makes the product of f(x) and g(x) undefined in the video?

The value of x that makes the product of f(x) and g(x) undefined is x = 2, as this is the value that makes the denominator in both functions equal to zero.

Keywords

💡Function

A function in mathematics is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. In the context of the video, the concept is used to explain how to determine if a set of ordered pairs defines a function by ensuring no x-coordinate is repeated, as seen in the discussion of question number one.

💡Ordered Pairs

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers where the order of the numbers matters, typically represented as (x, y). In the video, ordered pairs are used to define the domain and range of functions, and their correct arrangement is crucial to determine if a function is correctly defined.

💡Vertical Line Test

The vertical line test is a graphical method used to determine if a curve is a graph of a function. If any vertical line drawn on the graph intersects the curve more than once, then the graph does not represent a function. The video script refers to this test in explaining how to answer question number two.

💡Domain

In mathematics, the domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for the function. The script mentions checking for repeated values in the domain as a criterion for determining if a set of ordered pairs defines a function.

💡Range

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that result from applying the function to its domain. In the video, the range is calculated for a given function with a specific set of x-values, illustrating how to find the corresponding y-values.

💡Function Composition

Function composition is the process of applying one function to the result of another. It is denoted as f(g(x)) and involves evaluating the inner function first, then applying the outer function to the result. The script explains this concept in the context of question seven, where f composed with g is calculated for a specific value.

💡Graph

A graph in the mathematical sense is a visual representation of a function or relations, typically consisting of a set of points on a coordinate plane. The video script uses the term to refer to the visual elements that represent functions and to explain the vertical line test.

💡Correspondence

In the context of functions, correspondence refers to the relationship between elements of the domain and range. The script discusses one-to-one and many-to-one correspondences in explaining the difference between functions and non-functions in the context of arrow diagrams.

💡Undefined

A function is said to be undefined for a particular value if that value does not have a corresponding output. In the video, the term is used to describe situations where the denominator of a fraction is zero, which would make the function value undefined because division by zero is not allowed.

💡Denominator

The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction and represents the total number of equal parts into which the unit is divided. In the script, the denominator is mentioned in the context of fractions within functions, where it cannot be zero to avoid making the function undefined.

💡Trigonometry

Although not explicitly mentioned in the script, trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. The script's theme of mathematical functions and their properties is related to trigonometry in the broader context of mathematical concepts.

hello to all my wizards

this is senior pablo and welcome to our

second channel the senior pablo tricks

and trivia

for our first video we're going to

answer

a first periodic test in grade 11.

if you want to check the questions

you can go to our community section in

senior pablo tv

and you can find the questions there

okay let's start our question number one

okay let's check question number one

which of the following sets of ordered

pairs define

a function we define a function

if there is no x-coordinate

or the x-coordinate must not be repeated

so let's check our choices for letter a

the x-coordinates are negative 3

negative 2 negative one and

negative two we notice that negative two

is repeated twice

so letter a is wrong

how about letter b one

two three and four

so letter b is our answer

because our

x coordinate x coordinate

is not repeating okay

and you can take a look at that letter c

and letter d

in letter c 0 is repeated twice

as our domain and for letter b

letter d1 is repeated once so the

correct answer

in number one is b

next number two which of the following

graph

shows for every value of x

there is only one value

of y so in here

we're going to use the vertical line

test

you can check our playlist to understand

the vertical line test

so in this case

our answer is letter

b and now let's proceed in number three

which of the following or which of the

following

arrow diagrams shows that y is a

function of

x so we're dealing with the

correspondence

we know that a function can be

one-to-one

or too many

so in this case letter a

is not our answer because our

correspondence is many to one

letter b we have many to one

that's not a function for letter c

we have one too many

so that is a function so the answer in

number three is

letter c

and letter d that is many to one

which is not a function so number one is

b

number two is b number to the is c

next number four which of the following

graph does not define a function

we're going to use does not define

so we're going to use the vertical line

test because this is a graph

and notice that the only graph

in number 4 that does not define a

function

is letter

d the y because if we're going to use

the vertical like this

it will touches the graph

twice

okay next number five

find the value of

f of x so we're going to solve this

f of x is equal to four x squared plus

three x minus fifteen

when x is negative two

so let's solve f

of x is equal to

four x squared

plus three x minus

fifteen when x is equal to negative two

so substitute the value of x

so four times negative two squared

plus three times negative two

minus three four times

negative two squared that is positive

four

positive three times negative two that

is negative six

then copy minus fifteen

now we have four times four sixteen

minus six minus fifteen

sixteen minus six that is ten

minus fifteen negative

five so when x

is negative 2 the function will give us

negative 5 so that is

letter d dot

so let us write our answer here number

one is b

number two b number three

c number four the

number five is d and now let's proceed

in number

six find the range

given the function f of x is equal to

x over two plus three

where x is an element of

0 2 4 6

and 8. so we have the function

f of x is equal to

x over two plus three

then x an element of

zero two four six and 8.

we're going to find f of x

so let's substitute if we have f

of 0 that will give us

0 over two plus three

zero divided by two that is zero

plus three what is zero plus three

that is two if we have

f of two

two we have two

over two plus three two over two

that is 1 or less than e

that will give us

next i have a 4

that is 4 over two

plus three four divided by two

that is two plus three oh sorry one plus

three is four

okay sorry for that two plus three

is five

and six notice a pattern

two four a three four

five of course we have six and seven

so that is letter

three four five six seven letter

d letter d

for number six

next number seven

given f of x is equal to x raised to

four minus

one and g of x is equal to x

minus z which of the following value

corresponds to f

compose of

g of three

we're going to solve so we have

f compose of g

of three

so this is the same as f of

g g of

three so f of

what is our g of three

so let's get g

of x so we have

g of x is

x minus two

so x minus two this is two so we have

three

minus two so now we have f

of one hey

just change the x to our volume which is

three

so three minus two that is one now let's

find

f of one

in number seven f of x is equal to

x raised to four minus one

so we're going to find f of one so one

raised to four minus one

now one raised to four

that is one minus one

will give us zero

so f compose of g of three is equal to

zero so number seven

is letter c

okay that is number seven

next

number eight

number eight

given f of x is equal to three x

over x minus 2 and g of x is equal to 2x

minus 1 over x minus 2

what value of x will make the product of

f of x

and g of x undefined

so to make our

function undefined let us equate the

denominator to zero

for f of x our denominator is

x minus two so we have

x minus two is equal to zero

therefore for g of x for f of x

x is equal to two how about the g of x

the denominator is x minus two

equal to zero so x is equal to positive

to make the functions undefined

the value of x must be two

so number eight is letter

c so one to eight

so this is our part one of our

tricks and trivia checking of

the periodic tests of general

mathematics

stay tuned for our part 2 this coming

saturday
