Describing a function Definition of a function
& Stuff in (input) * function is a rule which takes numbers

as inputs and assigns to each input exactly

- Stuff out (output) ↳ more than one output = not a function

& inconscion ⑧
↳
eg -x =
0 kills the function one output per input
The input is the independent variable Idoesn't need unique outputs)
: the output is the dependent variable
Always work with real numbers (R) to get real outputs from real inputs
