Answer

The term "function" in mathematics refers to a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output.

Think of it like a machine: you put something in (the input), and it gives you exactly one thing out (the output).

For example, the function f(x) = x² takes an input number, squares it, and gives you one output. If you input 3, the output is 9. If you input -3, the output is also 9. Each input has only one output.
