In math, a function is a relationship or correspondence between two sets, where each element in the first set (called the domain) corresponds to exactly one element in the second set (called the range). This means that for every input, there is exactly one output.

In the given table, the days of the week represent the domain and the number of children in the car represent the range. Each day of the week corresponds to a specific number of children in the car, and each day has only one corresponding number of children. For example, Sunday corresponds to 2 children, Monday corresponds to 4 children, and so on.

Since each day of the week has a unique corresponding number of children in the car, this table represents a function. Each input (day of the week) is associated with exactly one output (number of children in the car), satisfying the definition of a function in math.
