Test I. TRUE or FALSE. Write True if the statement is true and write False if it is not. (2 pts.each)

_____ 1. A relation is a rule that relates values from a set of values (called the domain) to a second set of values
(called the range). T
_____ 2. A function is a relation where each element in the domain is related to only one value in the range by
some rule. T
_____ 3. A graph represents a function if and only if each vertical line intersects the graph at most once. T
_____ 4. A relation is a function if for each x-value there corresponds several y-values. F
_____ 5. The domain of a relation is the set of all possible values that the variable y can take. F
_____ 6. The sum of 1/3 and 2/5 is 15/11. F
_____ 7. The product of 10/21 and 15/8 is 28/25. F
_____ 8. A rational expression can be described as a function where either the numerator or denominator only
have a variable on it. F
_____ 9. The zeroes of a function are the values of x which make the function zero. T
_____ 10. The graph of the inverse of a one-to-one function can be obtained by reflecting the graph about line y=x.
_____ 11.If the x- and y-values of a one-to-one function are interchanged, the result is a function, but if the x- and
y-values of a function that is not one-to-one are inverted, the result is no longer a function. T
_____ 12.Some of the applications in real-life of exponential functions are population growth, exponential decay,
compound interest, except carbon dating and growth of an epidemic. F
_____ 13. One strategy to solve exponential functions is to write both sides of the equation as powers of different
base. F
_____ 14. One of the property of exponential functions is that the range is the set (0,+ ). T
_____ 15. In both the logarithmic and exponential forms, b is the base. T
_____ 16. Logarithms with base e are called common logarithms. F
