Describe the meaning of the word function in math. Then consider the table. Why does this table show a function?

1 answer

In math, the term "function" refers to a relationship between two sets, where each element in the first set (called the domain) is associated with exactly one element in the second set (called the range).

In the given table, the days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.) represent the domain, while the number of children in the car represents the range. The table shows a function because for each day of the week, there is only one corresponding number of children in the car. There are no repeated values or instances where a day is associated with multiple different numbers.
