The graph the the function is shown below.
To evaluate the function, drag the cross-hair (green) on the horizontal axis to the desired input value. Then measure the height of the graph from the vertical axis (red) to find the output value.
  1. Evaluate
  2. Evaluate
  3. Evaluate
  4. Evaluate
Notice how each input yields only one result (there is only one answer for each input) but some inputs have the same output value. It’s no coincidence: the graph passes the vertical line test!
