    Function Theory (Lesson 1/5)

    Functions and their properties

    1 / 10

    A function is like a mathematical machine, you put in a number and it gives you exactly one number back. If you put in the same number multiple times, you will always get the same number out.


    An example of a function is the rule "double the input and add ​1​".

    ​
    If you input 3, it doubles to make 6, thenwe add1toget an output of7
    ​
    ​
    If you input −5, it doubles to make −10, thenwe add1toget an output of−9
