Introduction to Relations and Functions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Determine the relationship between relations and functions. An informative video shows pupils how to identify whether relations given as tables, ordered pairs, and graphs are functions. They also learn about independent and dependent variables, as well as the behavior of graphs (increasing, decreasing, and constant).
