Algebra 1 · Functions & Sequences

Definition

A function is a relation in which each input value is paired with exactly one output value.

Examples

  • {(1,2),(2,4),(3,6)} is a function.
  • Each x has only one y.

Key rule

No input may map to two different outputs.

Memory hook

Function = one input, one output. No sharing.
