Describe the meaning of the word function in math. Then consider the table. Why does this table show a function?
(2 points) BE RIGHT!!!
In math, a function is a relationship between two sets of numbers where each input has only one output. In other words, for every input, there is a unique corresponding output.
In the given table, the "Day of the Week" serves as the input and the "Number of Children in the Car" serves as the output. Each day of the week corresponds to a specific number of children in the car, and there are no repeated outputs for a given input. This table shows a function because each input (day of the week) has a unique output (number of children in the car), which aligns with the definition of a function in math.
