WHAT IS A FUNCTION?
input operation output
A function relates an input to an output. There is one
output for a given input.
A function can be represented using function machines.
To find output, you need to work through the operations
from left to right.
To find the input, you need to work through the
operations from right to left.
FUNCTION MACHINE
input +7 output
Inputs are put into the machine, and then the operation in the
machine transforms the input into the output. In this case, the
operation is +7. For example, if the input was 5.
Input: 5
Operation: +7
So, 5+7=12
Output: 12
FUNCTION MACHINE
input, x +7 output, y
Input, x Output, y
5 +7 12
6 +7 13
7 +7 14
8 +7 15
9 +7 16
So, what is the relationship between x and y? y=x+7
FUNCTION MACHINE
input, x +7 output, y
To find output, y, you work through the operations from
left to right.
Example: x + 7 = y
To find input, x, you work through the operations from right
to left.
when you move it to the other
Example: x + 7 = y side. Your operation will be the
x = y - 7 opposite.
