WHAT IS A
FUNCTION?
• A function is a special type of relation
where each input only has one output.
• Functions are a way of connecting input
values to their corresponding output
values.
• The relation is a function if, for every
x-value, there is exactly one y-value.
WHAT IS A
FUNCTION?
Functions are a way of connecting input values to
their corresponding output values.
Example:
Ordering a coffee for $5
Step 1:
4
Construct the table of values.
Do this by substituting values of x to y=2x. x

x -1 0 1 2 1

Notice that for every value of x, there is only one value of y.
