Here’s a trick to find out:1. Hold a pencil vertically ...2. Then, slide it across the curve. * Does the pencil ever hit the curve more than once?

The pencil does NOT hit the curve more than once, so it IS a function.

It PASSES the vertical line test.

Here’s a trick to find out:1. Hold a pencil vertically ...2. Then, slide it across the curve. * Does the pencil ever hit the curve more than once?

The pencil DOES hit the curve more than once, so it is NOT a function.

It FAILS the vertical line test.

If it DOES hit the curve more than once, it is

NOT a function.

If it does NOT hit the curve

more than once, it IS a

function.

If it DOES hit the curve more than once, it is

NOT a function.

If it does NOT hit the curve
