describe the meaning of word function in math then consider the table does this table show a function?
TABLE:
Days of the week: sunday,monday,tuesday,wednesday,thursday,friday,saturday
number of kids in the car: 2,4,4,3,4.3.0
In mathematics, a function is a rule that assigns each element in a set (the domain) to a unique element in another set (the range). In simpler terms, a function is a relationship between inputs and outputs where each input has only one corresponding output.
Looking at the table provided:
Days of the week: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Number of kids in the car: 2, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 0
Since each day of the week is associated with a unique number of kids in the car, this table does show a function. Each day is an input (domain) and the number of kids is the output (range), and each input has only one corresponding output.
