In the formula, x is called the independent variable , y is called the

When the domain is not explicitly defined, the natural domain (largest
set of real numbers for which the formula is defined) is assumed.
The range can be determined by using the formula (range=set of
possible values of the dependent variable).

Vertical line test

If a vertical line intersects a graph in more than one point, the graph is not
the graph of a function.

Vertical line test

If a vertical line intersects a graph in more than one point, the graph is not
the graph of a function. i.e, Straight lines (with-in the domain) parallel to
the y -axis must cut the graph at only one point.
