how to describe the word function in a few words???i will give you a medal...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a function is a relation between the input and set of permissible output, such that each input is related with only one output.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

errgh i meant in a few words like two or three

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is algorithm can be used to replace the word function???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

algorithm is a method/procedure of computation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

function is not a formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is kinda like a blackbox

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1439904063389:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

each value of X can only produce a Y value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about relation between 2 elements????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not necessarily true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can have a straight line function where all the x value gives you back the same y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then how to describe it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"black box operation, each input produce 1 output"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the shortest i can put for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually need this as the topic of my project fo add maths....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh tq

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had a fun question on functions today, wanna try? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really appreciate it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If\[f(1) = 1\]\[f(2) = 3\]\[f(3) = 5\]\[f(4)\] what is f(5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(4) = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woah i got 9 why???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 217341

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i didnt tell you what is the function like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its actually is \[f(x) = \frac{ 18111 }{ 2 }x^4-90555x^3+\frac{ 633885 }{ 2 } x^2 -452772x + 217331\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woah... lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is nice to know you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by the way what is a black box

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried searching in google but i still do not get the meaning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its like a mystery process that must have an input and output

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you put something in but you won't know what happen to it, then it comes out with something else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you may or may not know the function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooh that is a better definition .... tq again....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres vertical line test for function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so have fun and have a great day... bye bye....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is a vertical line test???
