A function is a relationship between two sets of numbers. You can show a function as a function machine like this. machine
output
Representing Simple Functions
The numbers that you enter into the function machine are called the input.
The numbers that you get out of the function machine are called the output.
You can also show a function as a mapping diagram like this.
Worked example 9.4
Find the missing inputs and outputs in this function machine.
To work out the outputs, multiply the inputs by 2.
1 × 2 = 2, 3 × 2 = 6
To work out the input, work backwards using inverse operations.
Instead of multiplying the input by 2 to get the output, divide the
output by 2 to get the input.
10 ÷ 2 = 5
Answer:
1 maps to 2, 3 maps to 6, and 5 maps to 10.
Worked example 9.4
Draw a mapping diagram to show the function in part
Answer:
1 maps to 2, 3 maps to 6, and 5 maps to 10.

Answer: 5 and 10
Questions 2
In the function machines shown, the functions are missing.
What do you think are the missing functions?
Test your functions to see if they are correct.
If they aren't correct, try a different function and test again.
