Explain in your own words what a function is. Use the terms 'input' and 'output' in your explanation.

A function is a relationship where each input has only one output.

Consider the relation represented by the set of points: {(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (1, 5)}. Is this relation a function? Explain why or why not.

No, this relation is not a function because the input 1 has two different outputs, 2 and 5.

Mapping diagram with unique outputs for each input. Explanation should state that each input maps to only one output.
