Question

can anybody explain to me the concept of functions!!PLEASE

Answer 1

first you must know the value of a relation

Answer 2

since functions are special relations

Answer 3

wow. that is a tall order, even for experienced mathematicians since historically, and even today, there is much disagreement over what it means

Answer 4

A function:
We say \[f: R->R\] is a function if there is a unique output for each input.

Answer 5

relations tend to be polygamous;

functions tend to be more monogamous; but in the sense that one element of the domain can only be attached to only element in the range; but one element of a range can share a many elements in the domain; so more like mormon polygamy :)

Answer 6

then we have strictly monogamous functions that are one to one

Answer 7

Answer 52

In case he returns, here's my 2 cents:

A function is something that operates on data.

You feed in data(all the data u are allowed to put in is called the domain of the function)

The function processes the data.

You get an answer (all the data the function can output is called the range or codomain).

The most important thing u need to know (right now) is that there is only 1 possible output for a given input, if there is more than 1 then the processor is not a function.U can however have the same output for different inputs.

Answer 53

does a function operate on data? or do only those functions taht are defined by some sort of equation allow us to do so?

Answer 54

wow Thanks!

Answer 55

That's the way computers are set up and equations are not the only form of processor.

Answer 56

cool, :)
