In math, a function is a relation that maps each element from one set (called the domain) to exactly one element in another set (called the range). This means that for each input, there is only one output.
In the given table, the first column represents the days of the week, and the second column represents the number of children in the car. Each day of the week is associated with a specific number of children in the car. This table shows a function because for each day (input), there is only one corresponding number of children in the car (output). There is no repetition of days, and each day has a unique value for the number of children. Therefore, this table represents a function.
