In math, a function is a relationship between two sets of numbers, where each input has only one output. In other words, for every x value, there is only one y value.
Looking at the table provided, we can see that it shows the number of children in the car for each day of the week. Each day of the week (input) has a specific and unique number of children in the car (output). For example, on Sunday, there are 2 children in the car, and on Monday, there are 4 children in the car. There are no repeated outputs for any input, making it a function according to the definition.
