Understanding Functions, algebra homework help

Functions seem like they have a language of their own. Let’s look at this new language and the terms it uses. You see terms such as: relation, function, functional notation, x-intercept, y-intercept, axis of symmetry, maximum (of a function), minimum (of a function), and vertex.

Pick one of these terms and explain the term to your classmates in your own words. Then review a classmate’s explanation of the term and comment on it. Do you have a better way to understand the term? Share your way with us.
