Describe the meaning of the word function in math. Then consider the table. Why does this table show a function?
(2 points)
In mathematics, a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of outputs, in which each input is associated with a unique output. In other words, for every input, there is only one output.
The table shown in the question is an example of a function because each day of the week (input) is associated with a specific number of children in the car (output). There are no repeated inputs and each input corresponds to a unique output. Therefore, this table satisfies the criteria of a function.
