What is a function? What are the domain and ranges of a function

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 13-01-29] [Hit: ]
For sinx, the wave will go up to 1 then down to -1 then up to 1 then down to negative one & repeat forever, so the range is -1 ≤ y ≤ 1.Note: an example for something that is not a function is a circle.Center a circle at (0,0).......

Domain is what can go in, so what x's are allowed. In this case a sin wave can go from negative infinity to infinity in the x direction, so the domain is all real numbers.

Range is what can come out, so what y's can come out. For sinx, the wave will go up to 1 then down to -1 then up to 1 then down to negative one & repeat forever, so the range is -1 ≤ y ≤ 1.

Note: an example for something that is not a function is a circle. Center a circle at (0,0). Now pick a point on the x axis that is INSIDE the circle, let's say x = 1. Notice if you go up, you will hit the circle at a y value, but if you go down from x = 1, you will hit the circle a SECOND time at a different y value, which is not allowed in a function, so a circle isn't a function.

i learned this a couple af months ago in math. the domain is the input of a table.(usually x)
and range is the output of a table.(usually y) for example, if you were to graph an ordered pair, like (4,6) the domain, which is x, is 4, and the range, which is y, is 6. a function is something like this
y= 3x +5. it could be something else like this, y= 5x.a function is pretty much just an equation with the input(x) and then comes the output (y).
