A table set up for day of the week and number of children in the car on Sunday. There’s two children in the car on Monday. There’s four children in the car on Tuesday. There’s four children in the car on Wednesday. There’s three children in the car on Thursday there’s four children in the car on Friday. There’s three children in the car on Saturday. There is zero children in the car Now, describe the meaning of the word function in math then consider the table that I just explained to you. Why does this table show a function and explain in two sentences
1 answer
A function in math is a relationship or rule that assigns each element in one set to exactly one element in another set. In this case, the table provided shows a function because each day of the week is mapped to a specific number of children in the car, with no day repeating the same number of children. Each input (day of the week) has a unique output (number of children in the car), satisfying the definition of a function.
